Is this the final nap drop?

DS is 2 years and 4 months. Since toddlerhood he has always been a great napper, but for the past 9 days he's declined to nap. He stays in his bed playing, shouting and mucking about.
However if we go out in the car in the afternoon he's asleep in moments. So he is tired. If he doesn't nap he's pretty emotional in the afternoon.

So what to do ? Should I keep offering the nap? Or just try to do car naps? He seems to have decided it's not for him anymore.

This has coincided with his older brother starting school, he's a bit out of sorts and missing him, they are quite close and used to spending loads of time together.

Thanks for any thoughts!

Car naps until he’s ready to stop them completely, rather that than a cranky child all afternoon!
