I still get travel sick. Best advice - don't let my dad drive me. I'm fine if anyone else drives.
Other things that help - sitting where I can see the window, travel bands (pressure points on the wrists), sleeping through any car journey of any length. Sitting in the front seat helps a lot because then you can't concentrate on things in the back of the car, just the road ahead.
The 1 thing i have found with DD1 is she looks out the window and tries to 'count trees' which is not a great thing but we recently got the kids a portable DVD player and whilst she's looking at the 1 spot (set at the right level) she doesn't seem to get so bad.
Sea bands
Eyes on the horizon
Bandaid over your belly button so that it forms a seal. Plenty of people think this is a placebo effect, but so what if it is? Apparently there's a pressure point behind it,
Peppermint lollies
Ginger (Bundy ginger beer has real ginger. Many others are fake.)
Oh, also, don't eat any dairy 3+ hours before the trip.
Mayaness put me onto this and I now swear by it - don't ask how it works, it just does. I proved it by going up and down to Mt Hotham with and without it - without we had vomit, with we had nothing!
