best infant toys for car trips image
dennis c
He cries non stop from trip A to trip B. It doesn't matter how short, how long, the trip is. Once he's in his car seat, he'll start crying within a minute. HOwever, once he's out of his seat, he's perfectly happy. Please help
Answer
My son cried when we'd put him in the front facing car seat, he was 8 months and pretty big for the infant car seat so his doctor gave us ok to put him in the other one.
Is he uncomfortable?
Are the straps too tight?
Put some hanging toys on the car seat handle to keep him occupied.
You can give him a pacifier if he'll have one.
Also keep in mind when you're out of sight he'll cry especially in a moving roaring car. He might be scared.
You can buy a non-glass mirror to put in front of him so he can watch the road and you as you drive. He'll probably calm down knowing you're there.
You can buy the the non-glass mirror at any baby store since they design it for this reason.
Good luck.

Will a SnugRide 35 car seat fit in the overhead compartment on the airplane?
The Fabulo
We are traveling with a lap infant for the first time and hoping for an open seat on the plane for him. We are gate checking the stroller in a stroller bag but wondering if we can carry the car seat on on put it in the overhead compartment with the handle down. Has anyone ever tried this?
Answer
It all depends on the type of aircraft you're flying and how full the flight is. Logically, if you don't get an open seat to use it in, that will mean the flight is full and it's doubtful you can stow it on board.
Do try to use the seat if you can. It's both safer and more comfortable for all of you. Be really nice at check-in when you ask. Remember to either pack the base or leave it at home. Make sure you're comfortable with the seatbelt-only installation. You wont need it on the plane and depending on how much car travel you will be doing at your destination, it might be easier to leave this bulky item at home.
Just as a tip, you might find it easier to both stow it and get it through the X-ray maching by lowering the handle and flipping it upside down. Make sure to remove any extras, toys specifically.
If you do have to gate-check it, you might want to bring a bag to keep it clean and dry (a big plastic or laundry bag should do). Make sure your name and address are somewhere on the seat and that the gate-check tag can be seen. Ask them specifically to "hand carry" the seat down (some airports use chutes for gate-checked items, which could damage your seat).
Also, be sure to bring a bungee cord to double-secure your stroller before handing it over. Most strollers only have small latches that can pop open en route and result in the stroller being damaged.
Good luck getting the extra seat and have a good trip!
