is he forward or rear facing? maybe try rear facing again- he may be car sick, or overstimulated.
food-- food is the only way my daughter will tolerate a car ride (and its got to be short). i sit back with her when i can, and if not i pack her favorite food. i give it to her as we strap her in (i dunno, i dont want to start a wierd relationship with food if i give it to her when she is already crying) and if we get to where we are going by the time she is done.. whammo- another good car ride.
also, we use mostly all wooden toys. and none of them ever make noise. but in the car, we have a loud plastic drum. i put it between her legs as i strap her, and she just drums away. it counts and sings and she is mesmorized.
or we sing old mcdonald... i have no idea why this works.. but it does. no other song, just this one
drive less. walk more. if possible.
get a more comfortable carseat, if possible. when my dd changed into her "big girl" seat she turned down the "i hate this" heat.. i could tell she was uncomfortable in that old seat
