I never get car/sea sick. Mr. Bee gets car sick almost every single time, as does Olive. Boats are better but in choppy waters they definitely get sick. Charlie gets sick occasionally -- on long boat rides and bumpy car rides. Just to be safe, before we go out on a boat or a long car ride, I give the kids Dramamine. They're New York kids so they're not used to long car rides since we don't have a car.
Does anyone in your family get car/sea sick?

We all do! LO doesn't have it so bad. Truth be told, it increased and I can't even do Ring around the Rosy twice. I don't even want to do it once. Didn't stop DH and I from trying out the California Screamer.

DH gets motion sick easily. I get typical seasickness but I have had really bad land sickness after adjusting to motion of boats and ships. Makes me not want to go on ships anymore.

I do! It's awful. I can't read, look at my phone or even turn around in the car. If it's a long trip, I usually drive because I can't tend to DS if he's fussy. DH takes care of him and luckily he doesn't mind riding shotgun

Me, I get it very easily even on short taxi rides or just a few stops on the metro. My son gets sick occasionally. I give him kids Dramamine, sometimes just half of one, depending on what we are doing. I found that I like Bonine better than Dramamine for me. It doesn't make me drowsy.

Me, my dad, my brother, and now LO. We give him children's Gravol (and we always have to check with the pharmacist on the dosage for his age/weight), if we have to take a long car ride. I feel for him, as I spent half my childhood getting car sick, or seasick. We lived right next to the ocean, and my mom loved going on whale watching tours. Ugh!

A little bit. DH doesn't, he goes deep sea fishing but I refuse to go with him b/c I don't want to be stuck on a boat miles out at sea with no where to go!

DH gets queasy in cars if he's not driving or in the passenger seat. LO throws up in cars if the drive is longer than 30 min or so (sometimes less). We've been giving LO dramamine ever since she turned 2 and it's been a life saver. It definitely helps.
