Absolutely desperate for advice. DS (four and a half months) HATES his car seat. Screams from the second he sees it and takes time to calm back down when we take his out as he’s so hysterical during journeys. I’m utterly terrified I’ll crash because it’s so distracting.
The seat itself is fine. It’s not wet or spiky or anything like that. I’ve tried: additional window shades, singing, playing music, different toys, a blanket, no blanket, cooler clothes, driving at different points in his routine (in case it’s something like gas that feels worse in the seat), chatting to him before and during the journey. Nothing makes the slightest bit of difference and I’m out of ideas.
It’s now at the point where I’m avoiding going out in the car when possible. But that means no swimming, limited baby groups, no meeting up with family or friends, etc and thats doing my PND no good at all. And I still need to drive to do the big shop (Aldi so no delivery) and to drop DH at work once a week (weird parking rules).
Has anyone got any suggestions that I haven’t tried? I’m utterly desperate.
