2.4yo has always been terribly car sick. It was manageable when she was younger and more likely to sleep during a longer journey, but as she's getting older she is less likely to sleep - and so more likely to throw up. The problem is often that it's just DP in the car with her, so no one to sit in the back and help her, which I hate as the angle of a car seat always makes it hard for her to lean forward when she throws up Anything over 5 minutes or so and you can see her turning green...
We've tried fresh air, distracting her with books, not distracting her, eating very near to the journey, not eating very near to the journey... I know it's not the end of the world but it is horrible and she hates it too.
Are GP's likely to be able to help at all? We've got a 4+ hour drive on holiday on the summer, in particular it would be nice to be able to do something for her then.
