Help with carsickness!

My just turned 1 year old has a habit of throwing up in the car.

I hate hate hate having to pull her seat out..wash it..put it back together..put it back in the car..only to have to pull it out and clean it yet again. And I'm sick of ordering new straps..spot cleaning doesn't work well after 10+ times of puke. Ugh.

She throws up in the seat she's in..and she used to throw up in the infant seat as well.

What can I do to help her not feel so sick?
She doesn't have reflux (had testing for that..she is failure to thrive ..so, reflux was ruled out already). Her seat is upright (appropriately for her age).

I don't know what to do.

If there's nothing that can help...help me find a new seat with a cover that's easy to remove and wash!

((She's in a craptastic 3 in 1 at the moment.))

Here's her in her seat..

First of all

1. VERY CUTE :love:

Second, yuck, motion sickness. Blech.


Have you tried seabands? How about ginger pops? Fresh air (window down?)

She's adorable!
I don't know if it's okay to wear a bib in the seat - over the harness. I'm sure a tech will say if I'm wrong, but you can put a blanket or a coat over the harness, so maybe a bib is okay (?). I used to have plastic-y bibs with pockets on the bottom to catch food (these were for eating, luckily not for carsickness). The pocket on the bottom unsnapped for easy cleaning. I thought they were great. Maybe they could help contain some of the mess.:eek:
