Do toddlers get car sick?

[dinny]

DS is 14 months and did a projectile vomit in the car today (after quite a lot of windy roads). I thought children didn't get car sick till older....? Not sure if he's maybe sickening for an illness....

Yes, toddlers get car sick. Mine did, anyway.

my poor boy - no wonder he hates goin in his car seat!

Oh yes! One thing to check is that they are actually high enough to see out of the window. If their eye-level is below the window level then they will focus only on the interior of the car - very vomit inducing.

Mine too.
DS did, DD doesn't

Very inconsistent.
Not always windy roads.

Piriton helps but is not a guarantee..

Hate theses folks that say it's all in the mind. How can a bairn invent car sickness?

[dinny]

ah, he's only been sick in dh's car (which the back seats are low bucket types) and not mine...wonder if that's why...

My DD was once -realised after it was probably because we stuffed her full of pasta and then put her straight in car for long journey. She puked literally 2 mins from our destination ( cheesey pasta...right into my hands which was all I could think of to catch it in...yuk).
On the bright side it was a one off so hopefully it will be a one off for your DS too Dinny.
