Baby hates car seat

Anyone else dread taking their baby out on their own because of how their baby acts in the car. I have a 12 week old little girl and I absolutely hate taking her out on my own as every time she is in the car seat she just screams and cries! If someone is sat next to her she’s a bit more manageable but she still cries. Any ideas? She also screams if she’s in her pram for more than 10 minutes. So much so I had to carry her through Nottingham city centre the other week as she was just screaming otherwise

Does she have reflux ? My baby does and hates her pram depending on what mood she’s in and to be honest we use her carrier all the time as it’s easier !!!

Have you tried taking the newborn insert out of her car seat? She might have outgrown it. Often they only got to 60cm so might be worth measuring her. May also be reflux as Sophie says. My baby doesn't like lying down if she's not long eaten.

I have a toy dangling from the headrest on the backseat which distracts my little one when he's in the car seat. He has reflux which I've noticed is better while we're out now he's in a buggy with the back adjusted to slightly up from fully flat little bit easier on his tummy. As above also check it you're still using a newborn insert on the car seat it starts to squish them after a while

This is the same for me😩😩😩

My little one has reflux and whilst she still hates the car, changing her pram from the carry cot to the seat fixture has made the world of difference. She's so much more comfortable and happy now she's at a slight incline x
