I can't go anywhere. He cries uncontrollably when in the carseat and going for car rides. Hates the stoller, can't go for walks. I've tried readjusting straps, etc. He loves his swing and bouncy seat though. This is making life very hard especially because I also have a 2 year old and we can't go anywhere. ahhhhh!

My baby hates the carseat as well. So I jiggle it when we're on the go, or on rare occasions if my hubby is driving I "hover nurse" so she's nursing while she's strapped in... I'm able to stay strapped in my seatbelt as well. When we go out, I never put her in the stroller, only in a sling. I don't even try to put her in the stroller based on her hatred of the carseat! I really like the moby wrap for long outings, or for shorter ones I like my asian baby carrier. I also have a 2 year old and I can do anything as long as the baby's in a sling! I just have to usually endure the cries until we get there.

It could be the motion is uncomfortable for him, as the seat is about the same as a swing seat. It could possibly be a type of sensory issue for him. Or it could be outside & traffic noises are overstimulating for him. Could also be the angle at which the car seat & stroller are tilted at may be different from the more comfortable angles at which the swing & bouncer are tilted.
Try bringing his car seat into the house and letting him lie in it on the floor for a few minutes each day. (But please don't just leave him there with nothing to do and DONT let him sleep in it.) Then move it on top of the dryer while the dryer is on. Stay with him!!! I know it sounds strange, but its a gentle, somewhat noisy movement similar to the car that will help him transition. Once he's used to that, he might take to the car rides better. Good luck!

Have you considered wearing your baby on you? There are a number of options. At two months old, a pouch or a ring sling would be the best, probably.
At a year old, I still wear my baby everywhere we go- she loves it, and it means I don't have to fuss with a stroller. Plus, my hands are free, and nursing (if you nurse!) is super easy. Also, I can wear her around the house if I need to cook or clean, and she's not into things or upset with me.
There are excellent forums at The Babywearer, with moms who will be happy to help you figure out how to get started. Also, you might look for a local group of Nine In, Nine Out, which is a group devoted to helping moms wear their babies. Good luck!
Note: you should NEVER wear your baby in the car. Always use a car seat.

My son likes to throw suits in his automobile seat each once in a lengthy time period besides, even on short journeys. i hit upon making a music to him oftentimes enables yet no longer continuously. i attempt to make positive he has some toys to play with and at nighttime I were given one in all those small interpreting lights from the dollar save so as that he can nevertheless see, basically be positive to clip it the position it heavily isn't on your view. it really is gotten more desirable helpful because that we switched to the convertible automobile seat rather of the toddler service. He sits up a lot more desirable and would see out the window. even with the undeniable fact that each from time to time I basically ought to allow him cry till he cries himself to sleep. once he realized that his crying wasn't going to get the automobile stopped he would not do it just about as regularly. sturdy success!

The best advice I can give you is to take him on walks/car rides. Even if he doens't seem to like it. He might just not like that it's new. My son did the same thing...I am the kind of parent where I am in control in all situations with my son....My son isn't in control of situations with me. It seems like your son's in control...even at 2 months! I know it's hard but just stay calm (he can feel your frustration) and take him on walks and car ride while he's bawling. Soon he'll come around and decide it's not worth crying about. He'll get used to it and you'll be able to go out.

try just sitting him in the carseat on the floor with no straps or anything like that. If he get used to sitting in it maybe he can get used to the straps too.

I don't know if this will work, but I'd say bundle him up tightly. I know it's summer, but infants like coziness and the car seat might just be a little too big to be cozy. Turn on the A.C.; good luck.

He's probably uncomfortable in both - due to the material in both.
Take him to his pediatrician to rule out bone or skin abnormalities on his back. His bottom doesn't bother him since he can sit on his swing and bouncy seat.

Yes, you can go. Some of them go through a phase and will come out of it. I know it is annoying while you are trying to drive -- my grandson did the same -- but don't cut off all activities. Grit your teeth and drive the shortest route to your destination.
