| HELP!! Car seat troubles.... Hey everyone.... So last week we were talking about car safety, and a car seat was suggested to me. I went and bought it and I love it and so did Roxi (for about a minute). But now, after a few days, she cries and freaks out when I put her in it!! She is ok for about the first three minutes, then she just cries and cries and tries to get out.. Can anyone give me any advice on this?? Did your babies act like this in the car seat?? Thanks!!

| Mine did the same thing and they eventually got used to it. Just remember that a dog can become projectile if rearended by a car going less than 30 mph and the dog can literally become that projectile at over 50 mph. Remember that if you feel like you want to let the baby out of the seat. I know the crying can be heart wrenching but just stick it out. They will get used to it after a period of time. Try taking the baby on short rides for awhile so they become accustomed to it. Better for her to cry than to die. |

Donating YT Addict | I left my Lookout car seat on the floor in the living room for about 2 weeks first. I put kibble and toys in it and my Baby would climb into it and find treats! Eventually he would just take his toy or bully stick into it to play. When I finally made the move into the car it went really well. I sat in back with him for the first ride and after that he was great. He now sleeps in his seat whenever we go anywhere. This method may work for you. Good luck!

Donating YT Addict | WOW I'm so happy I could actually help for a change! I'm always the one looking for help I used the same method for all my carry bags and slings for him. Left them out with treats in them so now he thinks his carry bags are awesome

| Roxi seemed to do a little better yesterday... She slept twice, but maybe thats because she was so tired from her 1st day at the dog park!! OMG she was so scared at 1st but she did so well and was running around with all the other little dogs by the end!! By my house there is a dog park that has two separate parks, one for big dogs, and one for little dogs!! It was SO much fun!!!!
