[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 23820, member: 3419"] Shari, I'm a little confused about the moving vehicle comment. What about your kiddie locks? All cars have them now. They are on the part of the door that shuts flush against the frame (the part you don't want to slam your fingers in!) I got pulled over once (39 in 25 zone, because difficult child was screaming and kicking and out of his seat and I just wanted to get home, LOL!). The cop put difficult child back in the seat, and put on the kiddie lock. He just slid the button on the inside. Piece of cake. I worry that difficult child can cause harm or distraction you while you're driving, albeit unintentionally, and make you swerve, etc. That would be yet another reason to train him for a car seat. In re: to future car rides, you know this will only get worse... so I've got an idea. Cut me some slack, it's going to sound strange. I've got dogs and I train them. Every day we do the same thing over and over, repetition, reward system, etc. You will need another person to help you (friend, spouse, neighbor, whatever) but you can do a systematic training of difficult child. Reward him for staying in his seat for 5 sec. (count to 5 loudly, while you stand in the driveway, because you won't go anywhere the 1st few times, and smile, because this is a game, not a power struggle). The reward could be whatever difficult child likes that you deem reasonable. Then you make it 30 sec. When you're up to say, 3 min., you drive around the block. I know, you're hitting your head against the computer monitor spewing bad words at me right now, but really, I have to agree with-the comment about how a screaming kid is better than a dead one.
