Car seat
My boy really hates staying in his car seat, especially on a long drive. He can stay put if he’s been well fed and had a good nap, sometimes he will stay seated well for as long as snacks are provided, sometimes he doesn’t take any snack offer at all and would give us a scream and throwing fits in attempt to get out of the car seat. We tried toys and distracting him to look outside but it never last long enough. I don’t want to have to give him a screen time, but it is our very last resort. Does anyone have any tips or ideas that you find work well? We are due for a very long road trip this weekend and I really don’t want to have to squeeze myself to sit in between the two car seats 😂😭

@Caitlin if I put my son in the front seat then his sister will also want to be put in the front seat 😂 - I’ll try it out with my son being at the front and I’ll try my best to see if I can convince my daughter that it’s better for her as she’ll get to sit with me xxx thanks
It might be the actual car seat he doesn’t like, Uncomfy etc. You’ll need to be stopping regularly anyway so don’t worry! A little bit of screen won’t hurt him, also them water pens are meant to be super good for toddlers xx
What sort of car seat do you have?
Could you put him in the front with the airbags off on the long journey? X
