Not really but yeah. Pretty much anytime i
leave the house its a fighting battle to
get joseph to sit in his carseat, he
always screames and kicks and arches his
back so you cant strap him in. I dunno
what to do anymore, i cant figure out a
way to get him seated, usually he sits
when we first leave the house because he
is excited to go somewhere but not
anymore. I sit there for 20 minutes until
im able to get him seated, prob sat longer
at the commisary waiting for him to sit
down, the only place he sat still at was
next to his carseat and he tried putting
the seatbelt on. Eventually he got in his
seat and buckled in screaming and all.
Maybe its a phase? I hope. i dread going
anywhere now because its a fight with him
to get him to sit down so i can leave. Ima
go crazy here lol

My mum had the exact same problem with my
half brother when he was a bit younger
What we did is we told him the car
wouldn't go if his seatbelt wasn't done
up.
Whenever he undid it we'd pull over and
stop the car.
luckily he didn't use this against us and
take the seatbelt off when he didn't go
anywhere, he always wanted the car to go .
I think it may of also helped that we
named the car and because young kids think
all toys and objects have feelings he
didn't want to dissapoint the car and make
it go to sleep
worth a try, but it may backfire if he
doesn't want to go anywhere anyway
ive tried distracting him with toys and
stuff, also telling him we cant go
anywhere until he sits down in his seat.
But still nothing he continues to scream
and flip out. He is only 2 yrs old. i
will just sit there lookin at him until he
sits down wich never happens i end up
having to almost pin him to the seat to
strap him in.

Hahahaha! I know how you feel. I just
helped my sister wrestle my 2yo nephew
into his carseat a few days ago. I was
really surprised that a 2yo could be that
strong. I worked up a serious sweat. I
wish I had some advice for you. She told
him she'd leave him at home with the
sitter if he didn't sit in the carseat.
That worked once, now she's back to
wrestling him again.
thats how it seems to work, something
works once then never again, and yeah 2
year olds are very strong lol. i hate when
they arch there back and stuff, jordynne
did the same thing when i was putting her
back in her infant seat cuz i sat her int
he seat in the cart in the grocery store,
she was arching her back and whining ,
taking after her brother now lol. He has
toys in the truck and stuff too i tried
giving them to him to occupy him to sit
him down. He was still screaming after i
buckled him in but got quiet when he had
the dental floss. he knows things he just
chooses not to listen, cuz i get home and
tell him to take his pants off to cahnge
him and he took his pants off . He knows
what sit down means to hed just rather sit
in a big boy seat and not in the carseat,
he woulda been perfectly fine sitting in
the normal seat with a seatbelt, but he is
way to little for that. I end up just
sitting there and let him calm down or do
whatever. Then attempt it again. Half the
time i take him out of his carseat or undo
it so he can get out and he jumpes up
front and i gotta climb back in there and
drag him out , he figures out ways to get
his feet to stick to something so its alot
harder to pull him out, hes sneaky

logan arches his back when i put him in
his pushchair
josephs usually good with that, unless hes
in there a long time then he starts
throwing tantrums and trying to get out, i
cannot bring him in public and let him
walk though, he wil be all over the place
and ill spend an hr chasing him and hardly
be able to get what i went in the store to
get , grocery shopping is always tons of
fun hahaive been using those big carts
with the 2 seats attached to it, since it
has like a 3pt harness orwhatever it has
the shoulder straps too because he will
climb out of the seat on the basket even
with a seat belt on. htey have carts at
the PX with the little car part in the
front he likes to sit in it but halfway
through the store hes climbing out of it
or on top of it!
JOY to the terrible 2's !
