[quote=Anonymous]My 3yo has never been a fan of the car, even as a baby. She used to get car sick on occasion but not consistently, and not just when we were on windy back roads. Now that she is older she complains about driving about 30 seconds into every single drive and whines to get out. She says she feels sick or her tummy hurts most of the time… which she may but it’s hard to tell because ever since we forward faced her car seat she has only vomited once over the past year many months ago. It doesn’t matter whether we are in our big SUV or smaller sedan, she complains equally. And sometimes toys distract her for a little bit but never for very long.

Does anyone else have a child like this? If so any tips or advice?

We live in an area where we have to drive pretty much everywhere, so it’s really exhausting to hear her complain 2-3 times per day on the way to her school, or when we are running an errand. Wondering if maybe she has some kind of motion sickness, although it doesn’t manifest in any other ways. I try to minimize unnecessary drives but clearly avoiding the car permanently isn’t an option.[/quote]
