Newborn Hates Car Seat
Our 3-week-old absolutely hates her car seat (Maxi-Cosi Pebble). The moment we strap her in, she screams like she's being tortured.
We've checked that the harness isn't too tight, looked for any marks or pressure points, and even had the seat checked by the hospital, but everything seems fine. We've also tried gradually getting her used to it with short trips. Occasionally we can manage a brief drive without too much crying, but most journeys are pretty awful.
The second we take her out, she's completely fine again, although she genuinely seems really distressed while she's in it.
Has anyone else experienced this with their newborn? Did anything help, or did they eventually grow out of it? It's really limiting how far we can travel, so we'd be grateful for any tips or advice.
