3 year old car sick in Dad's car

Please can someone help me with this. I am separated from my DD's father. We live almost 4 hours away and he has her every other weekend from Friday to Sunday. We split the travel between us meeting half way. Whilst my daughter is fine in my car, she is always sick in her Dad's car, at least once, often twice. I have a small car (Toyota Yaris) which is almost 20 yrs old so not very powerful. Up until recently her Dad had a Ford Mondeo and has just bought a new car, I'm not sure what make (he only bought it last week and I didn't get chance to have a good look at it) but it is but it's big and looks quite new, and no doubt will have a powerful engine. Her Dad informed me she was sick twice today in the new car. I have tried to talk to him about this to see if there is anything that can be done, but he refuses to speak to me about it, saying that it's just one of those things and hung up on me. I hate the thought that she's ill every time she travels with her Dad. There is a court order in place so she has to visit him. I would be prepared to do all the travel myself but I'm out of work and can't afford the petrol money. Does anyone have any suggestions on now to prevent/reduce travel sickness in children? Thank you.

I’d be surprised if he didn’t take you up on offer to do the round trip

Afterall saves his new car from being vomited on and him having to clean it up

If I were you, and I was worried about him driving, I’d be pushing hard for this

As a child I was always sick in the French car my parents had, not sure of brand I think Peugeot. Then they switched to Volvo and I was fine.
Ask if it is a french car
