    My DD did this. I found she was getting hot. Undressing her & putting the aircon on helped. Also limiting it to short trips as much as possible. She is fine now that she is in a different seat. She was in the capsule provided by the ambulance at first & we changed her to forward facing at 7 months.

    My DD1 absolutely HATED the car. It would start as soon as we started moving until she got out, every single time. It was horrible. It stopped at about six months when I was able to turn her carseat forward facing.

    DD2 doesn't like the car, but she isn't quite as bad as DD1 was - but she has a big brother sitting next to her to pop her dummy back in and and help entertain her. She cries probably 50% of the time.

    Strangely, the boys were both fine in the car. But then again, maybe its not so strange as they both had my DD1 sitting next to them entertaining them.
