We didn't really work at it. We just started young. We had just picked him up (he was 7 weeks old) and we had a 3 1/2 ride home that i figured I was going to have to hold him for. Well right after we picked him up we decided to stop and eat. We had a soft sided carrier about the size of a gym bag that my mom gave me with us. So we put him in that while we ran in to get food (we left the car running) when we came back he was asleep. And the little sweetie slept the whole way home. Now anytime we get ready to go he jumps in that carrier like he's I'm ready. I tried using a carrier from target that didn't close completely and he wasn't gonna stay in that one. The big thing with him is once you get him in it and zip it up he'll go right to sleep. But if he can get out he will. So my advice would be to get a carrier that closes completely so he can't jump out.
