I have a 15 month old granddaughter who gets very car sick .What and how can we help with this?

Answer 1

I have two children that would throw up everytime I drove more than 15 min. I bought one of those anti-static strips. They attach to the bottom of the car and I swear by them now. My kids still throw up when they go in other peoples cars. It works ever since I put it on they do not ever throw up in my car. I found out about them in Ireland when I lived there. People over there use them to stop car sickness as well as ground your car if it is static charged. I didn't have a static problem but I use it for car sickness.
Here is where you buy them:

If you type in Car Sickness Static Strap in the google bar you will see that it is true.

Answer 2

My daughter gets extremely car sick if she is in the car more than 45 mins. We try to make sure she gets a chance to get out every 1/2 hr and walk around for 10 mins. If we are going on a very long car ride (more than 1hr) we give her gravol or ginger pills. I give her gravol if it's more than 3hrs and I want her to nap on the way otherwise it's ginger pills, both work well, but gravol is medicine so it does make her tired an cranky. Ginger is natural.

Answer 3

Make sure she has fresh air. I used to get horribly car sick until age 12. I would be stuck in the back of my parent's suburban with no windows that opened. Talk to her doctor about if there is anything you can give her.

Answer 4

Put those sun-blocking shades on the side windows on either side of her carseat. Motion sickness is worsened by the side visual of objects moving. That is why an adult is less likely to be carsick riding in the front seat, because your visual field is directed to the front instead of the side.
