The shocks are filled with oil, and at low temps that oil acts pretty similar to your cars engine oil. It NEEDS to warm up. Cold oil is thicker and sticker hence resisting flow through the orifices of the damper hence stiffer shock.

Once the baby can hold his head up with no issue, you will be able to do some spirited driving on a more regular basis.
