How do I get 9 month dd to stay in pram?

Hi all,

Having trouble with 9 month old dd sitting in the pram!! She literally screams if putting her in or will only last about 5-10 minutes then moans to come out!!
She used to love being in the pram I'd go for one hour walks with her whilst I was on maternity daily and had no issue, now as times gone on being back at work etc don't really get to go for walks
So on the weekend I try take her out n about but she's refusing the pram. It's just so stressful especially if we're out busy shopping,

Just after any tips really of keeping her there longer, if she screams should I just carry on? I always see other dcs in prams who are sitting nicely and I can c their mums are trawling around the centres with. I bother! I just keep wondering where mines going wrong, could it be to do with cos she was used to it but then didn't get much walks through the week (due to me going back to work when she was 7 months) or is this just a phase?

Thanks all

Probably just a phase. Just gradually build up time again. Is she facing you or the world in it? (Might need to switch). Or try a carrier/ sling if she's happy in there.

YOu are not going wrong, please don't think that.

You’re not doing anything wrong, some are just more vocal than others.
Agree with swapping her around or trying a carrier.

Thanks for the advice everyone :)
The pram I have is joie one, she used to be in a silver cross. I was paranoid maybe it was the pram but the silver cross one she grew out of anyway, she's quite a big baby for 9 months (tall n chunky lol) so will try it facing me it was just quite hard to Manoeuvre when it's parent facing (it's one of the flick back adjustable handle ones)

I have a backpack baby carrier is this what everyone means? I didn't think you could get a sling for a 9 month old?? She is pretty heavy? N quite wriggly too lol

yeah back pack baby carrier. My DS is happy in there for a long time, walking the dogs or out and about elsewhere and he's 14 mo/ 91 centile so definitely heavy.

DS is pretty happy in his (relatively cheap) mothercare travelsystem pram, or the cheaper still umbrella stroller we bought for airport etc- that's all we take out and about now.

sorry, not one of the really big structured back packs (although we have one of those too, husband uses that)

I'm using a Baby Bjorn One carrier most days

What about getting a Mackaren XLR as she is on the larger size. Maybe the novelty of a new peak may mean a fresh start / more positive vibe?...
