Well that was bracing.
We just got back from a day trip to the coast. Sean screamed all the way there and back -- screamed himself hoarse for an hour and a half each way. He sort of decided about 2 weeks ago that he didn't like the car, but I had no clue he had that kind of screaming stamina.
Did anyone else's baby decide they didn't like the car all of a sudden? He's good for about 10-15min and then just loses it. I'm hoping it's a phase. Somebody please tell me it's a phase, because we have a 10 hour road trip to SF coming up this Thanksgiving.

Yes, with Bugalug from about 3 months to 8 months. Same thing -- okay for 10 minutes or so, then absolutely furious. Once she was eating solids I could stop and give her a little bit to eat in the seat and that would usually calm her down. Having a mirror so she could see me helped. For long car rides something obnoxiously electronic with flashing lights and music was a good distraction.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
Damn. Was hoping it was a shorter phase than that.

Rock-a-bye Baby- Bob Marley renditions saved my sanity during that phase. Lila would freak out in the carseat, but if i put that on she would settle within a minute. We used to drive to and from the cottage with that on for almost 3 hours each way but it was SO worth it.
Miles has always liked the car, though in the early months, he would freak out if we were not in motion. Traffic lights were the worst. Lately he's been pretty good in the car, though last night we drove home from Long Island and he screamed for about an hour of the 1 1/2 hr trip.
I've had most car success when timing it to coincide with a nap or bedtime.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
Gwen doesn't scream every time she's in the car... but she certainly doesn't love it, and the more stops you make, the angrier she gets.
We did this. Just had a 6.5 hour drive up to Cape Cod, and then back. We timed it so that I did bedtime routine, then put her down in the car instead of in her crib. She woke three times each way, but I just hopped in back and gave her some bottle, and she fell back asleep. It went better then we even hoped for. Of course, we were exhausted afterward, but it was worth it to not be screamed at for 6 hours!

Ryker hates short trips and stopping. he will scream. That kind of scream where they choke on their spit and then stop screaming because that jars them enough to forget they were screaming, but then like 2 minutes later they remember again. yeah.
But he did really well on the highway on our 6 hourn drive. It lulled him to sleep. He just woke a couple of times to nurse, except one time each way he obviously wanted someone back there with him and he calmed down.
I remember that phase, but I have no recollection of how long it was. I agree with the suggestions to time it along with naps/bedtime. We did a trip to SC and back (about 17 hrs each way) that way. Sucks for you to drive through the night, but totally worth it.
I remember one trip to J's parents that should have taken about an hr and fifteen minutes, but ended up over 3 hours of screaming the entire way. I started with a stash of about a dozen pacifiers and would hand one back every time the screaming started again.
I promise it gets better!
