Okay, I'm going to persist, but I'm a little disheartened. Tried the bribery thing with the mobile phone (usually a sure winner) and letting her get in the back seat, attempting to get her to climb into her seat and offer her the phone. The little bugger wanted to get in the seat less than she wanted the phone, so after about five minutes of cajoling I gave up and put her in myself, accompanied by the usual screams of disgust.

I will say though at least she calmed down a bit quicker. I'm going to have to up the ante and try food next. And the rare times that she does get in nicely I make such a fuss of her you'd think she'd balanced the cheque book...

Keep them coming! (And especially the bit about how they grow out of it, quickly.)
