What do you do? I need helpful tips beyond ripping my hair out and screaming in frustration.
Both of my younger boys are refusing to even get in the car. They are both rear facing and aside from one week of forward facing for my 3 year old, have never known different. They've never given me any problems getting into the car until now.
My youngest does the "stiff as a board" if I can get him into the car and the older one does the "absolutely refuse to get into the car at all."
This results in my chasing down the 3 year old and picking him up and bending him in half so he will fit through the door ready to be deposited into the seat. Then I have to hold him down and put the straps on. Then he cries for the entire ride.
The 2 year old stands up in the seat as soon as he touches it and stiffens everything up. Tickling him doesn't work. He only goes slack for a second before stiffing up again.
They also both hook their armpits over the top of the Radian headwings for extra "not budging" power.
This is super frustrating. I can't be chasing my 3 year old down every day. I don't want this to become routine like it seems to be going.
I will not forward face them. I don't think the way the seats are facing is making any difference.
