3mo desperately hates car/seat HELP!

My 3 month old baby has screamed murder every single time he’s been in his cabriofix, from the very day he was taken home from the hospital. I’ve missed 5 very necessary hospital appointments, and avoided making countless more. Today I’m on the brink of tears and almost broke up with DH! Baby started screaming so much his saliva went sticky and we had to pull over quick so he wouldn’t choke! A 45 minute journey home from a family day out took over 2 hours with 4 stops. When I took him out he was sweating despite having windows/fan and air con etc wearing only a vest. He threw up everywhere and I had to get DH to pull over so I could comfort breastfeed DS and then put him in the sling and walk the 15 minutes home in agony as I have physical impairments. DH was stressing as he didn’t know why baby was so upset. I sit next to DS in the back to calm him and nothing works. Me Tumble worked for a few minutes. He won’t take a bottle or dummy at all. I’ve got all the toys in the world for him and it’s not working. I feel like the worst parent in the world and I’m scared to take him out again, ever. I’ve checked the seat over a hundred times and there’s nothing wrong with it. DH likes to just say repeatedly that the car seat “is just shit”.

is he too warm? what does he wear in the car?
maybe strip him down to short sleaved vest only.

dc used to cry the house down if too hot. car seats are extra warm as well esp with the newborn inset.

@bluerunningshoes he was in a short sleeved vest with air con on and windows open as well as his own little clip on fan, I think he was mostly hot and sweaty from getting so worked up. It was snowing when he was born and hated it then too
