car sick remedies any one?

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

My stepmum gives my little brother Ginger to chew on before they leave (eww i know) ginger ale works aswell and i believe the ginger biscuits work, i'm pretty sure you can get ginger tablets from the chemist aswell but depends on the age.

Hope you have a good trip without any sickness.

when I was little fruit tingles was the only thing that helped me. Poor thing- travel sickness is horrible.

Get him to chew on something - Dad used to give me Fruit Kool Mints .

Lol, my dad gave me the minty kool mints and now to this day I can't eat minty type things cause reminds me of long drives and feeling sick!

Think I need to take these suggestions in for myself. I have probs with travel sickness. Unless I am driving its not too bad.

My DS gets car sick and we give him Kwell travel sickness tablets if we are going on a long trip. You buy them off the shelf at the chemist, they are in a blue box. Not expensive and can be used from 2 years old. They are chewable and taste like a lolly.
They are MAGIC!!!

My sister used to be bad...I mean REAL bad for travel sickness. She used to take travacalm. Not sure how they were to take though, they are tablets. I like the idea of the chewable ones

She did tell dad to slow down on the windy roads...once it was down his arm he finally listened!!

Nai - brilliant advice. I planned to not let him have dairy that day but I wouldn't have thought of bananas, I also will buy some ginger ale. and yeah the spew in the car was such a good feeling for me LOL

kawazuki - sitting him in the middle is a great idea, unfortunately I havea little hatch back so cant do this. I hope both our journeys are spew free!

daydream believer - I had heard of the wrist bands, i might buy a couple of them and water crackers are a good idea too

dee - fruit kool mints, check (this trip is gonna cost me a fortune!)

avas mum - he love ginger bikkies, great one!

marlene - i love you!!!!! I am going to the chemist straight away to buy some!

bjrose - yep, DS is always asking me to stop going round corners and over bumps LOL

thanks so much guys, I am confident we shall have a good clean trip

I carry the wristbands all the time and they work for DD.
