I think I will try the Chicco without the head cushion first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-hated-the-car#post-2389024 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 10:12:39 +0000 snowjewelz 2389024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD doesn't like car rides either. She gets bored of playing with whatever after a while, the only two things that keep her happy are snacks and videos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-hated-the-car#post-2388881 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 08:55:43 +0000 Pumuckl 2388881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: My sympathy. Nothing more annoying than screaming kids in the car! For us also the inserts were the culprit. Once those were out both went back to being fine in the car seat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-hated-the-car#post-2388850 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 08:27:54 +0000 MrsLilybugg 2388850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For mine it was a short and painful<br /> Phase - I hope it passes ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-hated-the-car#post-2388838 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 08:16:22 +0000 Littlebit 2388838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 15 months and HATES the car. Doesn't matter what seat, he hates being tied down. </p> <p>Nothing has worked :( Solidarity! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-hated-the-car#post-2388808 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 07:52:27 +0000 Modern Daisy 2388808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 2 and he has hated the car since birth. Sadly its only gotten worse with time. He hates being constrained in any way - fought the swaddle, hates car seat/high chair or being in his room for nap. Also climbed out of his crib the second he was strong enough. It makes it really hard for us to go anywhere because he will scream like crazy the entire trip, which is absolutely maddening (seriously - my fil even had to take a break when we were only going 10 minutes away!) but I figure he has to outgrow it one day! Either that or when he gets his license he can scream away alone in the car! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-hated-the-car#post-2388788 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 07:07:26 +0000 jape14 2388788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: We had the same experience as @mrswin: with our reflux baby and switched him around 7 months. His main seat is a maxi-Cosi pria and it's very plush and comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-hated-the-car#post-2388781 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 06:48:40 +0000 mrswin 2388781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Is there an opportunity for you to test her out in a convertible before making the switch? That way if it doesn't make a difference you can leave your 4yo in her seat longer since she still fits ok </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-hated-the-car#post-2388639 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 22:57:23 +0000 autumnlove 2388639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: @mrswin: maybe I can switch my almost 4 year old to a new seat (I have no idea what is next...some booster?) so LO 3 can use her Britax Blvd. LO 1 is on the shorter end so the Britax still works for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-hated-the-car#post-2388601 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 22:29:06 +0000 blackbird 2388601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have better success in convertible seats! Less hot and sunken in, I think. More to see out the window </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-hated-the-car#post-2388561 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 21:58:39 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2388561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of mine hated the car until about 4-5 months. It helped if I played kiddy music or held their hand (awkward doing it while they are rear facing) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-hated-the-car#post-2388512 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 21:20:37 +0000 Ash 2388512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dd HATES being in the car - regardless of the seat she's in. But I will say, she does do better in dh's truck (maybe the vibration). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-hated-the-car#post-2388492 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 21:14:06 +0000 mrswin 2388492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: We switched my DD to a convertible seat at 5 months because she hated the bucket and would just scream the whole time we went somewhere in the car. But she was like that pretty much right from the get go. I think it made her reflux worse. She was happier after the switch because she could also see out the window. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-hated-the-car#post-2388437 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 20:36:06 +0000 ineebee 2388437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 9mo, and he's gone through many phases of hating it, not minding it, hating it, and now it's just totally unpredictable! I'd also love to know others' experiences! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-hated-the-car#post-2388425 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 20:28:31 +0000 sorrycharlie 2388425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. With C, she hated it til I took the inserts out of her Chicco seat!</p> <p>Then I tried a Britax click tight and she screamed like she was being tortured - I avoided driving her anywhere at all costs. I returned it and she was totally fine back in the Chicco (and later, the graco my ride). </p> <p>Solidarity! It sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-hated-the-car#post-2388353 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 19:53:14 +0000 autumnlove 2388353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 4.5 months and she was good in the car for the first 4 months but the last two weeks have been rough! So much screaming... :shocked: :crying: </p> <p>She currently uses the Chicco Keyfit 30. </p> <p>Did your LO hate the car? Was it a long or short phase? Do you have any secret tips that I can try? </p>
