Baby Hates to Ride in the Car.

I have a 7 week old boy that hates to ride in the car. All he does is cry and scream. I have tried everything, putting him in right after he eats, so that maybe he will sleep, after nap time, before he needs to be feed. I almost always have someone else in the car with me to talk with him, give him a bottle or binky, but nothing seems to be working.

How to Handle a 10-Month Old on a Long Car Trip??

Hi all - we are taking our first trip with our 10-month old to Myrtle Beach in a few weeks, and I'm getting anxious about the long car trip.

My Baby Doesn't like Her Car Seat

I have an almost three month old little girl. She hates riding in her car seat. Everytime we go somewhere she almost cries the entire time in the car. I have tried losening the straps a little in case they were too tight and taking off her car seat cover while in the car or in a restuarant. Nothing really works. I hardly ever leave her in it while she is awake because she gets so irritated and cries. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Baby Einstein Videos

Just wanted opinions on the Baby Einstein Videos. It is my understanding they were developed by a stay at home Mom trying to find something to stimulate her children's minds. I don't obviously want my child raise by the tv but I thought a half hour of this when he's fussy just to settle him down a bit is ok. Does anyone have any of these videos and do they really work?
