The Baby Hammock Launches New Division—CarSickKids.com

CarSickKids.com helps families to enjoy the holiday travel season with natural nausea relief
Alexandria, VA—November 20, 2008—Popular online children’s retailer The Baby Hammock announces the launch of its exciting new division CarSickKids.com, just in time for the holiday travel season.

CarsickKids.com focuses on information and natural products to help prevent and treat motion sickness and other types of nausea. The launch of this new division promises to meet the need of legions of frustrated parents who are unable to find suitable treatments for motion sickness.

Experts estimate that 60 percent of all children will experience motion sickness at some point, with the incidence peaking between the ages of 2-12. Although for some people motion sickness persists into adulthood. 

However, treating nausea in children can be especially challenging because many medications marketed for treating motion sickness in adults are not safe for children. Even those that are considered safe can have undesirable effects.

CarSickKids.com offers safe and effective natural ways to address nausea.  The products are all drug-free and can be used by the entire family, not just children.

The site also features information about the causes of motion sickness and ways to prevent it plus fun activities for families to use while traveling to help keep children occupied and happy without exacerbating nausea as activities as reading and playing handheld video games can.

The owner of The Baby Hammock, Trish Thackston, is the mother of a child who has suffered from motion sickness since infancy.  In an effort to help her daughter she spent countless hours combing the Internet, books, and medical journals.  Frustrated by the scarcity of information and products to help her child and recognizing that many other parents were also desperate for ways to relieve their children’s nausea, she decided to create a resource that would help.  As the owner of The Baby Hammock since 1999 she had the necessary background to bring CarSickKids.com to life.

The CarSickKids.com flagship product the Motion Sickness Starter Set is a reusable emergency sickness bag that is packed full of nausea relief products. The set includes leak-proof disposable sickness bags, a BioBands acupressure bracelet, crystallized ginger, nausea relief lollipops and ginger candies.  It’s an easy kit to keep in the car, send on field trips or anywhere else that motion sickness may become a problem.  It is also perfect for anyone struggling with nausea related to cancer treatment or pregnancy.

Parents who have visited the new division have been thrilled to discover that there are things they can do to help their children feel better and make travel more pleasant for the entire family.
