Travelling in the car with your infant or child brings with it a whole set of new challenges. Snacks, distractions and car games played on repeat are just some of the things you need to be prepared for. But one thing you can’t always predict is whether your child is going to be affected by car or motion sickness.
Car sickness can be really miserable for both a child and their parents as it can make family road trips and even short journeys quite stressful and upsetting. Many of us rely on cars to get to and from places on a regular basis so knowing that it makes your little one unwell can be really tough. It can also affect children when they travel on a boat, plane, train or fairground ride too. The most common ages for car sickness are between two and 12 but many children do seem to grow out of it which will be a relief for parents.
