We're going on a road trip with a 6 month old. He hates being in his car seat and just cries while in it.

We've never really had him around screens, but notice he does really try to watch the TV the few minutes here and there we have it on around him.

We're thinking a low stim show might be an option for the road trip. Is there any risk to this? I'm concerned about forming habits where he becomes reliant on screens for soothing in the car or elsewhere.

Looking for info on if there's any drawback to having him watch a show in the car, and if that's potentially more harmful than having him cry.

We're taking a summer road trip and looking for advice on driving long distances with a 6 month old.

Our baby despises his carseat and I'm wondering if anyone has found effective ways to sooth their baby while driving. We're doing a sample drive early next week, so looking for as many ideas as possible to test out beforehand.
