4 mo carseat screamer. I though she would have grown out of it by now, but she is just in hysterics, tears, red face, fists, shaking, cries so hard she chokes. It's terrible! Anyone else? Any advice? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

She won't do it forever. DS hated the car seat. He grew out of it. I'm sorry, I know how hard it is. Put on some music and try to keep your cool. See if a lovey helps. [ Reply | More

i feel for you. i agree that she will out outgrow it... but in the meantime -- i used to find a station that was only static on the radio and BLAST it. i swear it *usually* made him stop. AM radio is full of white noise. good luck!! [ Reply | More
