Have you had a fit check done? Does she have any tension?
my baby hates her little car seat we bought the ickle bubba 0-12 years one and because it sits differently she no longer crys in the car and settles!! xx
My second baby was like this and my neighbour is also going through this. It seems it’s more common than we all thought. Possible solutions I’ve heard about are: cranial osteopath for babies to help with any tension in their bodies, reflux or digestive issues so maybe something dietary to consider, there are certain car seats that are a better angle for them you could try contacting a car seat expert such as car seat ninja in the south of England or joining the car seat safety uk Facebook group. Sadly nothing worked for my daughter except time and we would have to sit next to her, hold her hand, distract her with toys and songs and gradually build her up from 2 minute drives to about 15 minutes. Now she’s older I can give snacks and put Miss Rachel on the iPad for her to watch. Hope this is some help or reassurance at least
@charlie could you please share which seat you bought xx
My baby is the same! She cries the second we put her in. She’s 12 weeks, but when she was 9 weeks, we decided to take her on a longer journey and it was awful! She cried the whole time! We also have the maxi cosi pebble, I thought she just hated being strapped in but I am wondering if it something about this particular car seat. I was hoping she just gets use to it over time 🥲
