Easy to use discreet sick bags

My little boy gets horrific travel sickness. What can I pack that has a larger opening than an airline bag, but is smaller than a bathroom bin? He is 3 years old, no medication he can take yet for buses or cars. Trains are not an issue, we walk or train 99% of the time. But he has another birthday party next week which is inaccessible by train or foot...

Try Medi Grade absorbent bags. They have a gel that turns it less fluid like and you can seal the back too

We kept the pottete potty and liners for sickness (travel and general). Helpful for me too, as I really struggle with sick!

That said, there are meds licensed for age 2+ for travel sickness if you are UK based

3 year olds can take joy rides. We keep a large lidded Tupperware in the car for vomit.

Why not use travel bands? I've not used anything else for 25 years. They are fab.

Thanks all, new bags on the way! Are Joy Rides a different active ingredient from dramamine? I'll check! I did import those and they did nothing for him. GP says nothing until he is 4 - what have others been prescribed? His dad even needs travel sickness pills for planes, which is a new one on me!

We don't drive, this is literally only for when we absolutely have to get him to medical appointments or birthday parties more than a 1 hour ish walk where no train is available. I don't want to miss his appointment next month due to train strikes :( And I don't want him missing out in general.

He wasn't able to tolerate travel bands previously but he's bigger now, we will try again. They don't help his dad though.
