Next month we might be driving from Florida to NC which is a 12 hour drive for vacation. DS still hates being in the carseat for any extended period of time. It seems its even getting worse now that he is older! Well, my husband wants to fly because our last years trip was stressful w a crying toddler. I was thinking that maybe we should try to turn him FF and position his seat in the back center(safer?) of my Volvo S40 to see if he might like being in the car better. I'm not sure if it will make a difference but if it does I could convince my DH to drive up. We usually break up the trip driving 6 hours each day with lots of stops. I know its safer to keep a child RF as long as possible. What would you do? Flying will cost alot more and we would have to rent a car as well but we would save 2 days driving.
