When You Don’t Want Your Kids To be Swimming With The Sharks

I have wicked motion sickness. However, we didn't know if the kids did or not. We learned the answer to this question this summer in Mexico when I decided to book a couple of tours.

We took the kids on a boat trip and went snorkeling with the whale sharks. Guess what? They get motion sickness. Let me also add that a few days prior they had a small hurricane go through (yes, only I pick to go on vacation to Mexico when there is a hurricane). The water was a lot more choppy than I ever thought it would be.

Want to know what helped the kids? Dramamine® for Kids.

Dramamine® for Kidsis the only medicated motion sickness relief product formulated just for children ages 2-12 from the #1 Pharmacist recommended brand. It treats symptoms of motion sickness on the spot and prevents nausea, dizziness, vomiting and queasiness. Best of all, it comes in a convenient travel case and contains a safe, precise dose in a fun, chewable grape flavor.

It worked really well. The kids fell asleep until it was time to go into the water and they did amazing. They felt fine and got to enjoy the whale sharks.

Whale sharks eat plankton (not people), so there is no worries to be around them. However, I wanted my kids to enjoy this once in a lifetime adventure, and they did! They did really well thanks to Dramamine® for Kids! Will's favorite part of the trip was the whale sharks so I can't thank Dramamine® for Kids for making him feel better! (And next time I know to give it to them before we got on the boat. This was our trip to see if they even needed it, and they totally did.)

    AWWW I feel so bad for you! I get a little motion sickness, but for some reason not so much on boats/ships. I am glad you were able to enjoy the trip with the medication!

    My youngest suffers from horrific motions sickness. Last December when we went on a cruise, Dramamine saved the day. The trip was enjoyable thanks to no seasick worries.

    I love living in an age that a little annoyance such as motion sickness doesn’t keep anyone down. Having this for kids as well? Even better, so they don’t have to miss out on the fun things you want to do as a family!

    Both of my kids got horrible motion sickness as kids and it was hard because we traveled a lot for my husband’s work. Dramamine for Kids would have been perfect.

    It’s great that Dramamine for kids was so helpful. Our kids would pretty sick if they tried to read on long car rides.

    I’ve never tried this, but I get motion sick all the time. I’ve not been on a boat because I fear getting sick and not enjoying myself. I will be checking for this for sure.

    My kids would get sick if the boat was a little rocky too. I’m glad to know that this product is there to help us.

    I don’t know if we have Dramamine here – but I sure could use it! Two of my kiddos get severely sick when on a bus, in a car, on a subway, on a street car – its really bad and this would be so helpful!

    Dramamine Motion Sickness for Kids would indeed come in handy for those parents traveling with children. You never know if your child will get motion sickness so it would be best to pack this in the emergency kit /first aid box. This I will have to share with my sister for my nephew because they do a lot of traveling. Thanks for sharing the information.

    Abby used to get motion sickness every time I drove anywhere over 15 minutes. I started using Dramamine for Kids and I’m happy to say, problem solved.

    One of my daughters suffers from motion sickness while in the car. I will have to pick some of this up.

    Dramamine has been getting me through vacations for years. I just can’t deal with sea sickness and motion sickness.
