Any fellow travel sick kid mamas?

Both my kids get car sick-
Kwells are for age 10 + so my 7 year old can’t take them.

I’ve tried all the homeopathic and pressure point wrist bands with no luck ☹️

any magic tips?! We have a looooong drive in a week coming up and I’m dreading how hard it will be.

First of all@wobblymum1 I feel your pain. I have 4 children and all were travel sick in the car, it was sometimes like domino effect of puking also. The first thing you have to have is plenty of those non-leaky supermarket bags available, The second thing is get a Sturgeron tablet down them about an hour before the journey, best seats for travel sickness are up front, or middle back. We used to travel very late at night, so they fell asleep, nice blankets etc., but that is not always possible. I used to make my kids have very little food before we travelled, but they have since said that being hungry makes the sickness worse. If it any comfort, all 4 have outgrown it now, you usually do when you learn how to drive.

We use liquid phenergan (for ages 3+) and it’s brilliant. You can buy it over the counter.
