Winding roads or traffic jams are the scenarios where dizziness is most likely to occur. To avoid this, it is advisable to tell your children to always try to look forward when the car is moving. The view must be fixed at some point in the landscape that is in front of the car or on the horizon. And resort to reading or mobile as little as possible.

Rate the option of making more frequent stops for the child to cool off with water and give him fresh air. The food before starting the trip should be light, but the child should eat something, because on an empty stomach it is easier to get dizzy.
During the trip it is important to drink a lot of water. Do not forget to carry a bag by hand in case the child wants to vomit, as well as refreshing wipes and a towel . If the journeys are made with children who have a tendency to get dizzy, it is advisable to go on an early morning trip so that they are part of the trip asleep.
