Baby hates the car/seat - help!

Hi lovelies, could I ask for some help? What car seats do you all use? Going a bit out of my mind with my 15 week old daughter in the car as she seems to hate it no matter what we do and will cry and cry. Sometimes she sleeps but only really if she was due a nap at her normal times anyway. I’ve tried putting her in asleep, awake-but-sleepy, fully-awake, toys, mirror, seat hood up/down, stopping, not stopping, putting her in post-feed, waiting a few mins post-feed, blanket on/off etc etc, nothing seems to work! Hate leaving her crying. Currently in a Maxi Cosi fixed position with isofix (can’t remember model, sorry!), rear-facing in the back seat, newborn insert no longer used as outgrown. Particularly keen if anyone’s found any solutions with reflux-y/gassy/motion-sick babies, as I’m wondering if it’s to do with that. Thanks in advance x

It may be worth posting a photo for a check on how she’s fitted as an incorrect fit could mean she’s not comfortable xx

Do you have an infant carrier that you can seat belt in the front? Also make sure she fits well in her current seat so that the position isn’t making her hate it more.

We use a graco car seat, my son seems to be fine with it! Some kids just don’t like the car in general because they would rather be out but if it is something fixable I hope you get it figured out!

My lo hated the car for about 5/6 months or so. Sorry, obviously not what you want to hear. But some bubs just don't like it. I think it was because he could see me in the mirror but didn't understand why he was all the way back there. I played a lot of the happy song / nursery rhymes and sang to him but it's horrible xx

My daughter hated the car seat at that age, car journeys were horrific but she soon improved, hopefully your little one will too
