5 ways to ease travel sickness
- Keep your eyes forward and on the horizon or a steady platform as much as possible. Kids’ car seats should be high enough so they can see outside easily.
- No reading or looking at screens, especially when your journey is bumpy or windy.
- Be organised and travel with extra clothes, wet wipes and vomit bags.
- Increase airflow whenever you can – open windows in the car and turn on your air vent on a plane.
- Over-the-counter anti-vomiting and antihistamine medications can be useful. But always try them out before travelling, and take them before symptoms arise.
