Baby hates car seat

Hello mamas, I was away in another country for about 5 months of my Mat leave and baby didn’t need a car seat there but now that I’m back baby is no longer used to the car seat and screams bloody murder and will not stop crying whatever I do. I’m literally out of ideas on what I can do to help him to start liking car seats. Plus his screaming just puts me on edge and my brain blanks out on what else i could do to keep him from screaming. I need ideas on how I can make him if not like at least tolerate it a bit.

I use the “happy song” by imogen. Literally the only thing that helps me babe in the car

I’ve tried that but doesn’t work for him 😭

Put them in loosely and play with them

Never been out of country but my boy hates his car seat from day 3! So it’s been 9m of me going 😵‍💫 Having a backseat mirror has helped to an extent. We try to get home before it gets dark or the screaming increases by a couple of decibels 🫠

We play Ms Rachel when she's upset in the car. She's not a fan of the car

If you have someone driving (like you are the passenger) I go to the back and nurse my LO while he’s in the seat. That usually calms him down or makes him fall asleep!
