I've done it too often.... I can't get over how strong they are! I hate when I have to force her in it

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.

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.
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.

I even have to wrestle my baby into her car seat. At least she isn't super strong yet. Those days of wrestling my toddler was no fun. Not looking forward to doing that again.

@Andrea: when did it get better?! 26ish lbs feels like 100 +!

@T-Mom: Haha! That's awesome. DD is definitely a twister
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

@autumnlove: I think it wasn't quite as ridiculous by 2.5? She still doesn't like to get into her car seat now! Stern voice needed.

@autumnlove: I had the rod and now she is a slow poke.
