Anybody find a car seat that makes their car-hating baby a little more tolerant of car rides?

Question

My son hates HATES car rides with a passion. We want to get him a new car seat as he still is within the weight limit of his current one but it just doesn’t look comfortable. Anyone have a car seat recommendation that made their child a little more tolerant of car rides? I’d really just like to be able to go 10-15 minutes in the car without a total meltdown

Answer

Graco DLX… when I used infant seats my kids just screamed. Once I put them in these, they are completely fine. We have driven 10+ hours and they were fine.

Answer

Nuna Rava. So cushiony and comfy.
My son gets more uncomfortable in Graco Extend to Fit, and you can really see the difference between these two seats.

Answer

I have this one, he loves it. It’s for both infant and toddler. My son hates the sun in his eyes.

Answer

What angle is the seat set at? Is it correctly adjusted? Which seat does he have?

Answer

Switch to a convertible.

Answer

Get a convertible car seat.

Are all great. 
Some babies just don’t like car rides for awhile. It’s not necessarily the car seat. 
Bring soft toys for babe. Try putting a shusher or portable white noise machine with babe. Try a pacifier. Try sitting back by babe or try having babe sit without seeing anyone. 
My daughter only screams on car rides if she can see me. She prefers to sit alone in the backseat. She does fine with her aunts/uncles and grandparents by her, just not me or her dad.

Answer

does baby have a mirror in the backseat? it’s supposed to be for you to see baby but my baby enjoys staring at himself in it lolll. i always take his favorite toy, stuffie, and blankey in the car. maybe play some baby music on the radio or get him a travel sized speaker to have in his car seat to listen to music. my baby goes dumb over the hot dog dance 😩😅
