Car Sickness - 15 Ways to Prevent Car Sickness
I have been travelling on long car trips ever since I was a
young kid, mostly because it was cheaper for our family of 6
than flying, but also because I happen to live in, what I
believe to be, the most wonderful place in the world, Western
Australia. We didn't need to fly because we usually stayed
within our own state (even though for those of you that dont
know it is an absolutely enormous state!)
Sorry, back to the point. Nothing makes a holiday or long trip
worse than car sickness. Contrary to "popular" belief, babies
suffer from car sickness less than the average person and the
elderly rarely experience car sickness. However children between
the ages of 5 and 15 are most susceptible to car sickness.
By operating an adventure tour in WA and taking many people on
long trips all year round I have seen a lot of car (or bus)
sickness. What follows are my top ten tips, from experience ;)
to prevent car sickness.
TOP 15 TIPS TO PREVENT CAR SICKNESS
1. Get a good nights sleep before the trip
2. Seek medical advice about travel sickness pills
3. Remove dangling ornaments from the car
4. Avoid rich food and alcohol before the trip (obviously kids
wont be having any alcohol, right?!)
5. Fasten seat belts correctly
(ie not too tight around the
waist)
6. Do not read or write while travelling
7. Start the journey without delays or last minute panic
8. Ensure each passenger has forward vision
9. Support children so they can see out of the front window
10. Stop the car frequently - stroll and get some fresh air
11. Drive smoothly, corner slowly, brake gently
12. Watch for symptoms such as yawning, coldness, pallor, loss
of alertness
13. If vomiting occurs, stop and let the person walk a little
and have a sip of water
14. Let a sickness-prone person sit in the front seat, where the
ride is smoother
15. Maintain good ventilation. A sick person should sit near an
open window or air vent
I hope you will find these tips as useful as I have and
remember; excitement or energetic activity before a journey can
make matters worse!
