some good advice, but I do agree with the pram or baby sling if bubs get use to going to sleep in the car what would you do on a day that it is pouring with rain once you got the child to sleep you would only wake them again to take them inside from the car.

it is a great 

It's so hard to get babies to settle down.  These tips are excllent.

Thank you all for the comments.  Greatly appreciate it. 

Thats sweet!

I think touch (massage) is worthwhile too.

That's lovely, I like your title too, it is cute, sounds like you are bonding well with bubs and finding out ways to keep her calm and happy that suit you both.

I would substitute the ride in the car with a ride in the stroller, baby carrier or sling though... It is a lot healthier for you to do and it is also something you can do around the house if you don't want to go out, as well as being far more environmentally friendly.

Singing also helps if you don't feel like grabbing a book. I wouldn't recommend rocking too often though or your baby can become dependent on you rocking him or her to sleep every time. Unless of course you're prepared to keep doing it and don't mind dealing with sleeping difficulties.

Riding the baby in the car works every time.
