About a month ago, my little daughter started throwing up in the car. The first couple of times I thought she had a tummy virus. But it is only in her Car Seat that she does this. And now I am absolutely convinced she gets motion sickness. She cries whenever we get into the car now, because she knows she is going to be feeling ill.
I moved her car seat to a window, and sat it more upright so she can see. No change. I know of no drugs safe to give her because she's so little.
If any of you have a similar experience, with a child SO YOUNG getting car-sick, I'd be grateful for any ideas that can help.
I am really disgusted by having to constantly scrub barf out of the car seat. The car seat padding is actually getting worn out because it has been dismantled and put through the washing machine so many times!
Thanks for help.

My 3 year old has and always has had this same problem! She HATES the car, and never wants to go in it. The doctor said to give her a dose of Gravol about half an hour before going out, and it seems to help.

Ginger has always worked for me. I used to have car sickness and it would always help. Ginger is a sure-fire cure for any kind of car sickness. As for how you would feed it to her, i'm not sure. They make little ginger snap things that are the same size as mints - maybe you could crush some up and put it in her gerber's.

Open the window slightly or wait til she is a bit older to go riding.
