car sick remedies any one?

[widdly]

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.

one thing that helped me when i was little was having the window down. aircon is bad... fresh air good. and stop for little breaks every hour to ease the trip for 5 min.

also fruit tingles are actually recommended by some oncologists for their anti nausea effects

This sounds so stupid, but it works:

A bandaid over the belly button. It has to make an airtight seal, so the bandaid sort of gets sucked in a little bit. Sounds liek a placebo, but it really works. I have done a lot of road trips with this method!

Good luck!

P.S. I second the ginger/no milk thing.

snuggly - the bandaid over the belly button is hilarious!! Where did you get that idea?

em - very interesting, I shall buy some fruit tingles then.

I bought the Kwells chewable tablets today, hopefully they do the trick

I went through a pack a day when I had MS

I used to suck on barley sugar. I used to have real bad car sickness as a child. And mum always made sure that my window was down slightly.
