This kid is an awful car rider. Always has been. He hates being rear facing. Any ideas. I'm over this.

First of all, I rear ended someone when my son was an infant because he was so awful in the car. In theory, nothing goes on the seat in front of baby. In practice, this saves me from more crashes. Make sure it has a remote to turn the music and lights on and off.

How long does it keep her occupied?Married to a newly minted Pediatric Rad, momma to a sweet girl and a bunch of (mostly) cute boy monsters.

I forget how long it plays the music, maybe 10 minutes? It has a remote though, and you can keep restarting the music. It has play music and sleep music. She's generally a good rider anyway, and I don't actually play it much anymore, although she gets excited every time she gets in the car and sees it. I got it when we drove to Houston when she was about 3.5 months. I used my 20% off coupon at BRU to get it.Allison - professor; wife to a urology attending; mom to baby girl E (11/13), baby boy C (2/16), and a spoiled cat; knitter and hoarder of yarn; photographerComment

Bianca was and still is a crappy passenger. I got a similar toy with remote and hung toys with those plastic rings in the back. She just got bored. I'd always take lots of toys with us on every carride. Now I can at least bribe her with fruit snacks of she behaves!

Turn up the radio really loud...
. Our last two kiddos were the worst. Dd5 would cry every drive, even the entire two hour drive to phx (which then caused dd11 to cry). It was exhausting. She did get a bit better being out of the infant seat. Toys were no help for us. Siblings could sometimes help but really I just had to tune her out best I could and turn up the tunes.
I hope the toys work!!!Tara

^ That makes me feel a little better! Sometimes I do just that because we really cant do anything. Long trips are the worst. I think I was spoiled with N, too. Thanks for the toy recs MarissaNicole.
I think he will be happier when he isn't rear facing anymore. Only 1-1.5 years left... :/Married to a newly minted Pediatric Rad, momma to a sweet girl and a bunch of (mostly) cute boy monsters.

That's both of my girls although C was worse. The convertible seat helped a tiny tiny bit but not a ton. She just seemed to grow out of it at 10-12 months. She still won't ride for long stretches without a ton of whining but she lost the ability to scream for hours at some point.Married to a Urology Attending! (that is an understated exclamation point)

DS has always been pretty bad in the car, too. The only thing that helped was to play the same Music Together CD over and over and over. Once he got to know the music, it somehow became more relaxing and he finally started chilling out. I think that started around 7 or 8 months.Comment
