Hi,
My son is almost 10mo. He absolutely refuses to sit in his pushchair, crying before he is even strapped in. When he was younger he had a pram that faced me and he was fine. Then for about a period of 2-3 months I never used one. Now we have a new pushchair that fits his size better and it is a forward-facing pushchair and he hates it. I really want to revert back to the old one for just a bit longer as he was better behaved in it but I have left it at my mums who lives about 5 hours away so it is impossible for now. We are stuck with this new one.
Anyway, I have tried everything, giving him milk, snacks, toys, singing, sitting beside him for a while before setting off. Nothing works! Most kids love the pushchair so do not understand why he hates it so much. It was not a problem before as Covid kept us indoors, now we are having to actually venture outside it’s turning into a nightmare. He is way too heavy to carry for so long!
Side note: at home he will sit and play alone as long as someone is within his eye-line. If he can’t see someone he will cry so I am not sure if it is linked to the fact he can’t see me when he is in the pram.
Any help or advice is appreciated!
