Car Seat Confessions

You're trying to keep the car on the road as you reach back to put the paci in baby's mouth, while your baby is screaming in their car seat and your two other children are in the "back, back" of the van starting to yell, because they are getting frustrated by the noise. Shoooooo, it makes me tense to even read that! Ever been there? It's my reality right now, and if I want to leave my house, I have to face it numerous times a day. My first son was colicky. I mean screamed 13 hours a day for the first 6 months, but at least we could stick him in the car seat and he would normally fall asleep. Not my 2nd and 3rd! Especially not my 3rd. She is 6 months old now and we are still trying to figure out soothing methods to get her to calm down. Most friends and family don't believe that Anna screams like she does in the car, until they take a ride with us! Holy Moly, she's got some lungs! We aren't quite sure if we are just now figuring out some things that are helping her, or if she is just "working it out" with age.

Tips and Tricks: 1. Baby Einstein Music and Melodies Mirror

You are supposed to put it on the back of the seat for baby to look at, but I have also tied it on to the car seat handle bar for her to play with it. Like so.

I was willing to spend any amount of money if it would help the crying! I think this was $30 well spent. I love that I can put the music/lights on a timer. You can set it from 10-60 minutes. This is an over all great buy! Hope this helps soothe your crying car seat baby too!
