Family holidays can sometimes be stressful occasions especially when there is a lot of traveling involved. Long journeys may make mum and dad grumpy but can sometimes be worse for children who are prone to motion sickness.

Some children may not be used to the heat in countries like Spain which can also cause upset so here are some helpful tips when travelling with children in your Murcia Airport car hire.

• If your child starts to feel bad then try keeping their mind occupied with something else rather than dwelling on it.

• Bring along some music or audio books that you know are favourites.

• Try coming up with roadside games like who can spot the most red cars or first lorry.

• Don’t encourage you child to read as this is a major cause of motion sickness for a lot of people. The same goes for handheld computer games.

• Don’t obscure the child’s view as this may lead them to dwell on feeling sick. Also don’t sit them right in the back if renting a large car.

• Take breaks when on long drives. Getting out of your hire car for a break will help the child feel better.

• Don’t smoke in the car.
