Baby hates stroller

[mrscompgeek]

I need some insight from mamas that have had this problem. My DD loved the stroller the first few times we went walking, now all the sudden the last two times she screams in it. She hates her carseat and cries the first 15 minutes or so in the car so i wonder if maybe she associates the stroller with the carseat since she is strapped into both?
Or she is going through a growth spurt and she is staring to crawl, both big milestones so maybe that has something to do with it??
I do babywear her most of the time but I am very short AND i have shoulder problems so I dont like wearing her on long walks cause I suffer. And we are going on vacation to gatlinburg in may and I would like to be able to use the stroller for long days of walking but will babywear her also to give her breaks from the stroller.
Anyone have this happen before where they like the stroller then all the sudden scream in it? Did they get over it eventually? She loves to be outside so Im not sure why she hates the stroller.

What kind of stroller do you have? Does it face you? Could you borrow a different one and see if it's better? My baby hated the stroller until about 5 months, then he liked it but I had the kind where they face you. Otherwise, just give it a break for a week and try again. They change so quickly at this age. good luck

My DD isn't fond of the car seat or the stroller either. I agree with the first poster though about the front/rear facing stroller. I can get my LO to stroll with me for about 30 minutes or so since we changed to a rear facing seat. Still not crazy about it so we always keep a sling or other carrier in the basket.

We just have a regular stroller. We never used the carseat on the stroller backwards because we took her out of the infant seat at 3 months cause she HATED it. We moved her to a convertible.
The thing is the first 2 times we took her she couldnt see me or my husband and she was fine but the last 2 times now we were with my sister and brother and mom and someone was always in front of us or right beside the stroller so she could see them.

Maybe if she sees someone she knows she wants to be picked up? My DD has started that with me recently, as long as she doesn't see me she's fine, but if she even hears my voice she begins to fuss.

I have just accepted that she will never be the calm baby that sits in the carrier or stroller. I always am in shock when I am in a store and there is a baby just quietly waiting for mama to finish her shopping...not a peep! Meanwhile my LO is squirming to get down, yelling at anyone who isn't paying her attention and being an all around wild child.

Good Luck!!
