I'm hoping to get some advice regarding keeping my 4 month old son in his car seat. He absolutely hates going in the car seat and will not stay there for more than 10 minutes before he starts to scream and cry and strain against the safety harness. This basically means that we can't go anywhere that is more than 10 minutes away as we have to stop the car and take him out of the seat to calm him down and once he is calm he wont go back in the seat and we can't continue the journey. Does anyone have any tips or advice on getting him to enjoy car journeys? We have tried distracting him with toys, youtube videos and music but he quickly loses interest and wants out of the car seat. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding anything else we can do as we are basically prisoners in our tiny village as we can't really use the car and public transport is limited.
