Methods to help with a 1.5 year old and her car sickness, she gets car sick while sitting in the car seat for even 5 minutes.

1. Look for signs of car sickness ahead of time. If your toddler is starting to look uncomfortable, take a break and let her get out of the car for a few minutes.

2. Make sure she’s properly buckled in. A baby or toddler car seat that is too loose can move around as you drive, which can make your child feel more nauseous.

3. Keep your car as cool and ventilated as possible. Open the windows to let fresh air in and turn on the air conditioning to keep the car cool.

4. Offer small snacks and sips of water to your toddler before, during and after the car ride. Avoid sugary snacks and drinks, as they can make your child feel more nauseous.

5. If possible, have your toddler sit in the backseat of the car with her head facing forward. This can help to minimize the movement she experiences as you drive.

6. Distract your toddler with different activities during the car ride. Offer her a toy or book to look at, or play a game together.

7. Play calming music in the car. Soft music can help to relax your child and take her mind off of the car ride.

8. If you know that your toddler tends to get car sick, start the car ride with a full stomach. This can help to keep her feeling comfortable during the drive.
