I have a 12 week old baby who hates the car. Screams and screams from start to finish. I've put toys hanging to keep him occupied but doesn't work. Some days I can handle it but others days I feel like I'm losing my mind. Some days I just don't want to go anywhere because I just don't want to hear it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Short trips with someone in the back playing with them and time.
This is really, really common at this age. Sometimes it's the seat (if they're in a capsule, consider getting a convertible car seat) sometimes it's the time of day. Mine used to scream blue murder if I took her out after 2pm so I'd try to get everything done by midday and stay home after. Some people find a colourful scarf tied to the grab handle and the window cracked a bit so it blows around is a good distraction for bub.
I promise it does not last forever! xxx
My second baby did this it was motion sickness, as soon as the seat was turned around he improved. Now he is older he will say he feels sick and vomit. Playing around with when he was last fed helped. I wouldn't put him in the car straight after a feed or if he was hungry, it had to be like 1/2 hour after a feed. Some thing to suck on can help eg: dummy. It sucks but doesnt last forever
