No such luck. She seems to have developed a hearty dislike for car rides. Which due to her inconsolable heart rending cries have made me desperate to find a solution to her car seat aversion. Otherwise I'm just gonna stay home. It's too stressful to drive with her now!
I tried a few things so far, with more in the works. Here's my report: Fail.
I printed out a huge pic of myself so Meili could look at her mommy and know she is not alone. Meili isn't so easily deceived. She cried.
I padded the car seat where her bum and back are so she would be more comfy - I know I know that apparently voids the warranty because these pads aren't supposed to be used that way but I just wanted to try something. She didn't approve of the padding, I think. I don't know. She cried.
I hung a bunch of toys for her to amuse herself with. I think this may have helped distract her enough to not cry for about 5 minutes. Then she cried.
So that's 5 minutes of golden silence of the 1.5 hours on the road today. I'll take it. :)
Stay tuned for my next update: The Quest For The Car Seat
