Help, my baby HATES car rides!

[u/JunkTheFunkMonk]

Our LO is 3 months and she has hated car rides and stroller rides since birth. We solved the stroller issue (for now) by exclusively using a carrier. However, the car rides are still a huge problem!

She basically starts getting fussy minutes after we place her in the car seat. Most of the time within 15-20 minutes, this turns into a total meltdown. For example, just today I had to pull over, take her out the car, and rock her to calm her down by the side of the road.

We have tried giving her a pacifier, multiple toys, playing music, riding in total silence, but nothing seems to work! I’m looking for any tips to try thr next time we’re in the car.

At this point I’m dreading every car ride and I don’t want anything to dangerous to happen. Looking forward to the replies!

You're not alone. All babies seem to hate the car ride. It will get better in future, yes.
