    Not personally, no. What age is your baby and what buggy is it?

    Yep both mine hated it before the 9-10 week mark.. They both went through a phase with carry seat where they screamed in it so got a rear facing car seat and they mellowed fully.. Are you using carry seat in buggy? I found mine rathered just been in the actual buggy.. Other than that short walks regular to help getting used to it

    No, both of mine love the buggy. Friend of mine has a travel system where the baby hates the carseat bit of it though, so she had to ditch it.

    What buggy is it?

    My little man used to hate the pushchair first couple of times we used it(2/3 weeks old) he cried as soon as we would start moving.
    it was just a matter of getting used to it, started to love it after about 5 attempts and still loves it (age 2)

    I'm no expert but aiming for 30 minutes sounds like a lot. I know it's a faff but I'd suggest trying just for a five minute walk up and down the road, ending before the child gets upset first, building gradually from there.
    It's probably not the correct analogy but it's similar to how you'd teach a pup to walk on the lead, just tiny incremental increases from a low base, not letting negative associations develop. Apologies if that's an inappropriate comparison, I hope it's not offensive. Best of luck.

    My son hated his buggy. Would never sleep in it and preferred to be carried around. He is still a bit like that now and his almost two but he walks every now mostly.

    He loved his rocker though!!
