We've tried every remedy available and none worked! All we could do was make sure we stopped often, had a small bucket available (with a bottle of water to wash it out), plenty wipes and our journey time automatically doubled 'just in case'. This past year however has been much better. Santa brought an MP3, with over-ear headphones not the in-ear type) for Christmas last year which she now wears on long journeys and, so far; touch wood, no sickness in the car! She was on a school trip last week and didn't listen to her MP3 and, you guessed it, she was sick!! I'm hopeful this success will continue but have learned not to become complacent as we've thought we'd hit on the solution a couple of times before only to be jolted back to reality with another scream of 'Mum, I think I'm going to be siiickkk!!'
