No, I knew if I tried to put a headset on him he'd either cry or take it off and try to eat it. You can cut adult size foam earplugs in half and stick them in babies ears, but we weren't going to be up for long, so I didn't put anything on his ears. I wore a headset, but I only wore it over my right ear so I'd be able to hear him.

My real trouble was with the car seat! He's only 9 months, and therefore technically should sit with the carseat rear facing. But our carseat (a Britax Marathon) is HUGE, and it barely fits rear-facing in the backseat of my Tahoe. I knew there was no way it was going in the back seat of the Archer like that. Plus, if he was rear facing, I'd have no way to see him if I was sitting in front. So I said screw it and put the carseat in forward facing.
