She still doesn't like to get into her car seat now! Stern voice needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wrestle-your-lo-into-their-car-seat#post-1264863 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 10:23:35 +0000 swurlygurl 1264863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Haha! That's awesome. DD is definitely a twister</p> <p>It's already started, and I don't see this going away any time soon. I can't imagine doing it in a convertible seat - we're still using the infant seat, so I can have plenty of room to wrestle her on the floor of our living room </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wrestle-your-lo-into-their-car-seat#post-1264822 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 10:03:45 +0000 Smar11 1264822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: lol!

At least she isn't super strong yet. Those days of wrestling my toddler was no fun. Not looking forward to doing that again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wrestle-your-lo-into-their-car-seat#post-1264456 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 01:35:35 +0000 T-Mom 1264456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, my DS pretty much does all of these.. </p> [attach=566/13/mxdgzc.297x300.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wrestle-your-lo-into-their-car-seat#post-1264430 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 00:32:47 +0000 brownie 1264430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but most often, I don't force (most days). I shut the car doors (so he can't tumble out) and I sit in and wait until he decides he is ready. If he goes somewhere he shouldn't (front seat) I get him out, put him in his carseat and ask him to sit. Or I bribe him... He doesn't get lunch until he is buckled in. He doesn't get the toy he wants until he buckled in. We don't get to sing 5 ducks until he buckled in. He can get in and out of his seat by himself so that isn't as much of an issue.</p> <p>I have forced when I couldn't wait usually I just knock the knees from the back (forcing them to bend). It isn't fun but rear facing is worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wrestle-your-lo-into-their-car-seat#post-1264371 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 23:31:45 +0000 Weagle 1264371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's doing this a lot more lately. She stands in the seat and then stiffens her whole body while giggling at herself in the mirror. So frustrating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wrestle-your-lo-into-their-car-seat#post-1264363 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 23:23:03 +0000 luckypenny 1264363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hate when this happens :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wrestle-your-lo-into-their-car-seat#post-1264357 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 23:19:55 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1264357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: lol...oh, the back arching...my favorite part! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wrestle-your-lo-into-their-car-seat#post-1264353 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 23:18:34 +0000 Running Elley 1264353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time!
