Ok so my 2.5 year old went to her grandparents for the weekend. We ended up being able to fit both seats in MIL's car Rfing (I wasnt sure we woudl be able to). She has never had an issue getting in the car before. She LOVES her "moo moo seat" as she calls it. But when I went to put her into her nana's car on Friday she compeltely flipped out. I've never seen her so terrified in my life. She was frantically trying to get down and saying "Scared, Scared, get down get down now please". I could barely buckle her in. I asked her if she wanted her blankey (which she has never refused) and she threw it on the ground and kept screaming "Scrared, down please". She cried so hard she threw up!!!! I figured it was because it was a new car she'd never been in. So my MIL went on her merry way for her 1 hour drive home with my screaming toddler. She finally fell asleep according to MIL after 40 minutes of screaming.
So DH goes to pick the kids up from there last night(MIL did not take them anywhere over the weekend). Puts the seats in his car and tries to put her in and she freaks again. He has no clue what to do since she is so terrified so he converted the seat to FFing (*sniff* I cant believe hes so advanced already to know how to do that!!) and tried that and she was fine....I have no clue why....
SO this morning I want to run errands and we got to my car (where her seat is still RFing) and she flips out again. She was so hysterical we couldn't even leave! She vomited again from crying so hard.
So my question is, whats the deal?!?!!?!? She has NEVER cried getting in the car. Could that one time in another car have traumatized her that much??? Has anyone elses kids done this and how long till it passes???? I really need to run errands today but I can't if she is going to scream and cry so hard she vomits. I mean, she is truly terrified..you can tell by her eyes. Should I just stick to the RFing or turn her FFing since she was fine last night and then after a couple days has passed and I "hope" shes forgotten turn her RFing again???
