How to get 6.5 month old baby to nap?

6 - 12 months

My 6.5 month old baby has been an awful napper pretty much his entire life. The only thing that has worked is contact napping in a carrier, car seat, and stroller. I have tried rocking to sleep and transferring, he wakes up with the slightest movement, even if I wait awhile, I have tried putting him next to me in a bed, he doesn't get that concept either. I ensure he is full and has a clean diaper. Luckily he is a good nighttime sleeper but I think that's because we have had a good routine and he has been in his own crib/room at 2 months. Any advice on how to get baby to nap in crib?
