there was nothing i can do...
my baby boy now 9 mo, didnt like being in the pram, swing, cradle, car seat ... he hated it so mcuh... he cried all the way to the shop when we r driving ...
i take the pram with me every shop, butend up with just the grocery sitting in the pram, while i have to carry my baby with me
i get him a jumperoo now since hi likes bouncing, but no... it never work.... he doesnt like being the jumperoo either
he doesnt like being in something...
but anyway about the car seat ... since i turn the car seat facing the front driver seat, that when he was 6 months, he never cried as before ... still crying if he get bored, but not all the way to shop... maybe that because he can enjoy the view now ... (before i put the car seat facing the back seat, which he couldn't see anything but the seat)
about stroller, yeah until now i have to be happy carrying him with baby carrier or just carry him with my hands

I completely understand, I have been wresting with this same thing, my son is now 4 months old and he still hates the car seat, and I have tried everything, however, I did get a mirror that is made for the back seat to hang down and it calms him more than it not being there, and I put up sun blockers all over the place, because he hates the sun in his eyes. Just keep trying to find what works, but I love the mirror, because I can also check to see why he is or isn't crying with my rear view.

Hmm, she may just be super sensitive or she's just so young that she prefers to be held and in that case she'll grow out of it. Do you have the sun shade things? Make sure nothing irritating is brushing up against her skin. If you talk or sing to her does it calm her down? It might be expensive but have you tried a different kind of car seat?

You have to let her cry. It is so hard- I know. It took me along time to figure out that it is ok to let him cry. Do you carry her a lot? Because I did that with my first and he would cry anytime he wasn't held. So we just carried him and rocked him all the time. They miss you and the socialization of being close. She just doesn't like being alone. With my second I did things way different. I made her nap alone, not on my chest or next to me. I didn't carry her around in my arms all the time or in a carrier. Now my son is 7 and my daughter is 5. She is less needy and sweeter. I don't know for sure- but isn't too much off anything bad. Even attention.

WE experimented with different music and finally found a song that she loved -- "Rabbit" of all things. We kept the CD close at hand and popped it in every time she became fussy. It worked and she finally outgrew it. Thank goodness. It has now been almost two years and I think if I never hear that song again it will be too soon.

Maybe it is somthing about the position she/he is in not the car set or the stroller. Something about the position must hurt.
Or.
Your stroller/car seat may be the wrong size for her. One size does not fit all.

Make absolutly sure she is comfortable.. make sure the straps aren't tight but snug, make sure there isn't something hurting her or picking at her, maybe add something for her to look at, like pictures or toys or somthing.. you know.. just be patient, and remember she NEEDS it to be in the car, i know a mother who resorted to HOLDING her baby because she hated the car seat.. it's dangerous.. make sure all adjustments are made correctly and just be patient with her and love her and sing to her, let her know it's ok. smile when you put her in it speak in a cheerful voice always even if she's sad...

have you ever tried putting her on her abdomen. additionally, does she have colic; which you're responsive to...attempt mylocan drops if she does. Does she take a pacifier; if no longer i understand alot of dad and mom do no longer choose to purpose this, even nonetheless that could be a sanity saver...possibly you may desire to easily attempt it quickly. If no longer something attempt enjoying some music and rocking her till she's sleepy then placed her in her swing or bouncy etc.

I know what you mean. I played Baby Einstein Lullaby CD way tooo much for my liking, but it helped keep my oldest calm and fall asleep sooner. You can find it in-store at Wal-mart and Target for about $7. good luck!

I would make sure that nothings poking her in the back. Some babies just don't like it, and will get over it soon. If she knows she can get your attention by crying like that, she's going to keep doing it. Just make sure that she is comfortable, and see if you can put a mirror so she can see you, maybe she feels like she's just been left all alone. But in the end, you may just have to let her cry, and not call out to her cause then she may think you're going to get her, and then keep crying.
