[quote=Anonymous]Lots of sympathy, OP. Mine unfortunately hated the car seat, too. Never did an infant seat, convertible from day 1, so it wasn't that. I could sit in the back, be physically touching baby, and he still shrieked like he was being tortured. Just absolutely nightmarish, we couldn't be int he car 2 minutes before the endless screaming started. He finally started tolerating the car seat, aka we could drive an hour or so before the inevitable crying fits, around 12 months. it was brutal.

I'll never forget a trip we took when he was 6 months old. Screamed the whole way to the airport. Absolutely fine once we were out of the car. Handled the flights like a champ as a lap baby. Our 5 hour layover at O'Hare turned into 7.5 hours AND our gate got switched just before boarding, so a frantic sprint across the airport with an infant, he was perfectly fine. Slept almost the entire second flight on a small regional jet. But put him in the car seat when FIL picked us up at the airport after midnight? Immediate howling.[/quote]
