How To Deal With Kids’ Motion Sickness On A Road Trip 

Motion sickness will not affect all kids in the same way. And while the problem does not seem to affect most infants and toddlers, children aged 2 to 12 are particularly susceptible.

If your kids start to feel ill, adequate fresh air can relieve car sickness. You can open the window or sunroof a bit to allow fresh air to flow.

Provide Air Ventilation

If they are prone to motion sickness, have them sit in the middle seat instead of the side seats so they can have a clear view of the windshield.

Seating Position Matters

You can play games that involve them looking out of the car window instead of activities that require them to look down.

Reduce Sensory Input

If your road trip goal is getting to the destination than sightseeing, you should start your trip late at night. This can also be very early in the morning or when your kids usually have their naps.

Time Your Travel Right

If your child needs to eat before you begin your trip or will be snacking along the way, then they should eat bland, easy-to-digest snacks that will not upset their stomach.

Choose Bland Foods Over Spicy Foods

If there’s a way to reach your destination by taking a straighter road rather than a winding, mountainous route, this may help your motion sickness sufferer.

Avoid Winding Roads
