Baby hates the car

My 7 month old has hated the car since day one! Anything we do he always gets hysterical and sometimes gasps for breath he gets so worked up. This makes going out anywhere extremely difficult however I don't think it's the car seat as he happily be pushed around in it whilst walking to and from school with my daughter its just like as soon as we get into the actual car / start moving he hates it and doesn't stop crying until at our destination?! Anyone else experienced this and any tips as my first loved the car and fell asleep instantly 🤣 oh and any idea when he will get better on car journeys as it just makes me anxious 😟

We are exactly the same. I've tried a different seat and that didn't help. We sing lots of nursery rhymes, seems to be the only thing to.keep her calm. Hopefully they'll just.grow out of it

We have a musical bear that we strap to the handle on the ceiling and it plays music for 20 mins. The only thing that keeps her entertained. It was on a Fischer price play mat

Maybe he gets car sick? Could you try just a few minutes a day in the car without travelling to see if he stops crying? Not sure what the answer is though apart from distraction.

Same here - my little girl just screams every time.
