Baby hates the car seat

Mine cries just at the start sometimes, I sit next to him and give him a dummy then he falls asleep until we stop. I’m dreading driving by myself though because I won’t be able to do anything.

My first son did this and it was so hard! The happy song by Imogen heap helped a little but other than that it was just time for us - I hope she stops soon! My friends little girl went to see a baby chiropractor and that helped her a lot x

If anyone has any tip I would be grateful, he screams the whole time and I am the only driver so I cane sit with him and it makes driving so stressful

I did a 2 hours drive yesterday with my 6 week old. I put a YouTube video of white noise through the speakers then turned it up and down quickly. It worked for the last 30 minutes of the drive

We’re in a similar position. She screams as if she’s in pain! Even just going round the corner for nursery drop off. I don’t remember our first being like this at all. I don’t know what to do to help

Mine is the exact same! She’s 9 weeks old and can’t stand going anywhere in the car whether it’s an hour or 2 minutes! Have tried white noise & a dummy and neither seem to soothe her - she instantly stops crying when she’s lifted out! Hoping it’s just a phase as not sure what else we can do!

We had this from 6 weeks until about 8 weeks when she decided she doesn’t mind it again, only things we changed are reclining the seat slightly, putting a mirror directly infront of her and playing white noise (we play white noise at all nap/sleep times) and also started putting her in the car seat when it’s already in the car, rather than in the house and then carrying it to the car. That way we are quicker to start moving (she doesn’t like the car stationary!) She’s 9.5 weeks now and we’ve had the odd cry but nothing like the screaming/crying we were having a couple of weeks ago. It is so horrible when you can’t soothe them!

What kind of car seat do you have?

Both of mine hated the infant carrier and screamed the whole time. When I moved then up into the next stage car seat and they were more upright this resolved for us.
