Baby Cries in CarSeat

My four month old baby girl HATES being in the car seat. Since she was 2 months old she cries whenever she is in there. After about 10 or fifteen minutes she is crying so hard her head gets all sweaty in back and it sounds like she will choke. Does anyone have ideas to make her calm down? We have a Graco seat, our son liked it fine.
