Does any one have any advice on getting a 8 month old used to their new car seat. Ashlynn hates it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everytime I go to put her in it , she stiffens out and starts screaming. I never had this problem with Danika my 2yo. After fighting with her for about 4-5 mintues she is fine. She has been her new car seat for about 3 weeks.

we had to change her to the bigger one due to her weight(23lbs)

What kind of seat did you get? Is it comfortable? We went from a Graco Snugride to a Britax Marathon and Cooper absolutely loves it. We changed at 6 months b/c he was already sitting up by himself. I don’t have any suggestions other than maybe put her in it daily even when you aren’t going anywhere to get her used to it? Maybe someone else will chime in.

No advice, just empathy. Kaelyn loved riding in the car and only went through a brief phase when she fought the car seat. Alex has never really been a fan. She went through a stage a few months ago when she fought every time that we put her in the car seat. It’s gotten a little better, but she still fights us on a fairly regular basis.

Our problem is that Sarah prefers DH’s truck. She can see out of the windows better. Unfortunately, I’m not getting a new vehicle any time soon so it’s a fight for us too when we get in the car. She’ll scream “Daddy’s truck” and fight me the whole time! I thought maybe she just preferred the car seat in his vehicle (they are different) but that didn’t make a difference.

Sarah has ALWAYS hated the car though…sorry only empathy here! I avoid long car trips at all costs with her…and that stinks!

Maybe she is just not use to the change yet? I know Addy gets so comfortable with certain things that when the time comes for change, she is a little scared. We sat her new car seat in our living room for a few days and she played with it and sat in it to read books (not on purpose, it just happened this way)…so when we changed over to that one, it went very smoothly. Maybe that would work? Or maybe it isn’t as comfy as her old one?

We are SLOWLY getting better. She is ok when I set her down,but when I go to buckle her in watch out, she is like a little banchy(sp?) It must have somthing to do with her arms,becasue when I go to dress her she is ok till I try to put her arms in the sleves.

Thanks for you input
