DD doesnt' easily transfer from car to pram as she knows we are out and about so wants to look around!!
However coming home from car to cot she is really good. But only if she's just fallen asleep in the car in the last 15mins.... any longer than that than when i move her she wakes up and thinks she's had her sleep! lol very difficult timing it!!
I make sure her room is ready to go if we are out and i know we'll be coming home around the time she'll be sleep and then i take her straight upstairs and worry about the bags and closing the garage door etc later on..... we have a good little system in place now!
Sometimes she'll let out a little cry but it's only cos i'm moving her and she falls back asleep! The other day I left the radio on when we went out and that woke her up as i took her upstairs!! Doh!
Good luck! It's very tricky working out these babies at times!!
I am blessed, I have two really good sleepers. They will stir when you move them but 99% of the time they do not wake. I can move them from baby carrier/sling to pram to car seat to cot, ect, ect.
I really believe thats its a child by child thing, but here's what I do:
I very carefully and slowly ease my hands under him and try to keep him in the same position he fell asleep in. I use my hands and arms to keep that contact he had with the car seat/pram ect.
*ETA* I've never had to leave my car running or put music on to transfer, but I guess it's worth a try
Not me! Never works. I think DH has managed once or twice. What DOES work though, is to leave them in the car, nick in and prepare a warm bottle/drink, then transfer them to their bed, and the drink helps settle them back to sleep.
