Hellobee Boards

We're waiting till LO is 2. She's 21 months now and is doing fine in it. Even if she wasn't I would keep her there, I'm too paranoid that something would happen.

My son is rear facing at 28 months. He also front faces in my mother's car, to him there is no difference.

I also give LO a snack which seems to distract her.

I'm waiting until at least 2 years old to move her to forward facing. That video one of the bees posted a while back was pretty scary.

@regberadaisy: 2 to 6 months was the worst. He literally started full blown scream crying every time we for in the car. Maybe he was carsick, but I think he just hates being confined. We honestly just avoided going anywhere. We still won't go anywhere that takes more than 1.5 hours. I've gotten really good at turning the radio up and rolling the windows down. And we listen to the hot dog song from Mickey Mouse Club a lot.

@regberadaisy: Very true. Though freezing her out could be an option. Just kidding.

@regberadaisy: not sure of your stance on screen time, but our good friend's LO hated the car and every trip was a cry fest. The only solution they found (and they tried everything under the sun!) was to install a holder for their iPad and they let their LO watch a video while in the car. It's worked like a charm so perhaps worth a shot depending on the desperation level. Just an idea!

We went through some phases like this. She didn't take a paci so the only thing that would calm her was for me to reach around and touch her cheek. Now that he can coomunicate with us and know we are there it's much better.

Closing this thread at the request of the OP...
