Car seat for reflux

It's just been suggested to me that the reason my baby hates the car is due to her reflux. Any recommendations for car seats which have a better position for reflux babies?
Many thanks xx

How old is your baby?

Younger babies need a reclined position because it's safer for them. If a young baby is more upright their airway might be restricted. This is the reason for all the recommendations about limiting time in car seats for newborns.

I suggest you focus on getting the reflux under control (could it be caused by CMPA or other allergies? Try dairy-free and if that doesn't work try medication?) and in the meantime just avoid the car as much as possible, easier said than done I know.

She's 11 weeks old and on Medication for her reflux. We try not to use the car very much as even a 5 minute journey leaves her screaming and very upset
