We are having problems with our three year old getting in her car seat. If she doesn't want to she will throw a massive tantrum that can go on for ages. My DH is still at nursery 40 mins after it's closed because she will not get in the seat. It's difficult to manhandle her into it. We've recently introduced stickers as a reward for getting in but it doesn't always work. I've tried putting her outside the car for a timeout but that can be dangerous, last time she ran off down the road!
Completely at a loss as to what to do, not sure upping the bribery level will work. She wants to be like her older sisters who don't need seats but of course she can't.
I have never come across any other child who does this, they all just climb happily in.
Does anyone have any suggestions??
