Hates car

Does anyone else’s baby hate the car? She has always made a fuss in it but we’re now at a point that she screaming before I’ve even pulled off the drive. I moved her into a seat from her infant carrier hoping it would help…it hasn’t. I’m at my wits end. She’s absolutely hysterical and it’s so stressful, I feel like I can’t go anywhere

My son is exactly the same. And just like you we changed to a bigger car seat hoping it would help, but it didn’t 😔 I don’t know what else to do but hope and pray he’ll accept the car seat soon! It’s really hard to make any plans because driving just results in everyone being overwhelmed and tired. I really hope things improve for you! X

@Herra I’m sorry you’re in the same boat. 🤞 it gets better for us

Have you tried giving her fave toy or playing music she normally finds soothing? Or pacifier/dummy?

I wonder if she gets car sick and just can’t express that yet?

Yep my boy is like this and has been now for a couple of months. It is slightly better than it was but not much. I think it's frustration/ desperation anxiety. It's really hard isn't it - I have a friend whose baby just babbles and chats to herself 😂😂😂 most people I've spoken to say they outgrown it at around 9/10 months. I try and time car journeys with a nap but that's not really easy anymore as he's mostly only on 2 naps x
