It is important to be able to entertain the baby in the car so you will have the least amount of crying possible. Due to the confined space in the car the ear piercing screams of a baby can be enough to drive you insane, and in some cases, cause your ears to bleed, blood pressure to rise, and eventually, you will blow your top. Here are some things that you can do to help the baby keep her cool. Have some of the car seat toys that strap to it- these will keep the baby entertained, at least for a little while. Things that dangle above the baby work best. Have some that will come off with Velcro, this will give the baby a sense of accomplishment. And then have some that are just out of reach, so that she can bat at them and not get a grip on them. Make them interchangeable so that the baby wont get tired of looking at the same things. Have a Bucket of Toys- in the front seat, so that when the baby tosses them on the floor or seat, you can just reach back there and giver her another one. Have a TV- this is a last resort, but many portents swear by this. Having a good child reds DVD for them to watch will keep them entertained for hours. In fact you may find them wanting to stay in the car when you get to wherever you are going.
