Any tips to reduce car sickness in a 2 year old?

Thinking of taking a short break in the UK about 2 hours away but my just turned 2 year old really hates the car and is frequently car sick, sometimes after only 20-30 min and even if not sick she is usually complaining. I don't blame her for hating the car as I had car sickness too as a child but it does make getting out and about more difficult. Any tips on how to reduce car sickness when they are too young for medicine? She is in an extended rear facing seat which I was hoping to use until booster age which may not be helping although we did have a rental car with forward facing seat on holiday abroad recently and she was still frequently sick.

Dramamine® For Kids this is from 2 years.

Thanks for the suggestion! From what I can see Dramamine is not available in the UK? Boots only seems to have things suitable from 3 years apart from travel bands which I am highly sceptical about.

All my kids had car sickness (they have grown out of it now) but the sickness bands do work, whether they actually work or its placebo i don’t know but it stopped my kids from being sick xx
