travel sickness

[flutterby84]

hey this is my first thread so stick with me lol.
My son is 5 and for the last 3 ish years he's suffered from travel sickness most of the time he is fine but in august we have a long coach journey from plymouth to portsmouth then onto the isle of wight ferry i don't think he'll be to bad on the ferry coz he'll have fresh air but the bus journey will be about 6-7 hours and the longest journey we've done. can any one suggest anything to reduce chance's of throwing up but also stuff that he can do to curb the bordem.
I know it's probably been ask a million times but i'm at a lose lol

I use a combination of travel bands and Joy Rides, which are made with quite a good antiemetic called hyoscine.

I used to get ds1 to lie down on ferries with me as I get travel sick too-it's the best non-drug prevention tactic I know.

Maybe an ipod with stories on to listen to.

Hope you have a sick free journey

Bands have worked for DD 5yo. She would be sick for small journeys aswel

Sit at the front of the coach. It always made me feel better when I can see the horizon
