Hi all, I have a darling 3 month old who rarely cries and is generally a delight to be around....unless you try to put her in the carrycot or seat unit of her travel system! We have the Oyster 2 and Maxi Cosi Canriofix, and she is happy as Larry in the car seat when attached to the chassis (will smile and look at stuff but equally nod off for naps no problem) but sobs real tears with the others. She once managed to cry until she was sick for a whole hour while I walked round our village!
The carrycot was always going to be a no go as she has silent reflux and detests being laid flat, but the seat unit can be adjusted to suit her so I’d have thought that would be ok. I’ve tried forward facing, parent facing, toys, white noise, swaddling (bad idea, she likes to suck her hands to self soothe!), different recline positions, items of my clothing, familiar blankets from home all to no avail.
Anyone have any tips? Should I hope she grows out of it or go to a pram shop and try her in different pushchairs until I find one she likes? She’s not a fan of a sling/carrier for longer than half an hour, otherwise I’d just use that - though equally my MIL will be having her when I go back to work in September (T will be 10 months by then) so she certainly won’t be up to just using a carrier anyway. The plan was that I’d buy a smaller stroller for us and pass the Oyster onto the in laws as they have a much bigger car boot (my Juke vs their X Trail) but obviously I can’t do that as things stand....
