It clearly states on the Benadryl website that the Children's Benadryl is not for use in children under 2 and while you can find dosing info for a child your little one's age I wouldn't dose it out except under the direction of a doctor.

I have a terrible time with motion sickness. Things that help me are lemon candy, ginger, having air blowing in my face in the car, looking outside and not focusing on things in the car like my phone, reading or a dvd player. If you have a dvd player pointed his/her way I would take it out.

Bonine. There's a childrens strength. We used it for a cruise and it worked well.

Bonine works for me, not sure if they make a baby strength. Ask your pediatrician what they recommend... lots of kids get motion sickness so surely they have some good ideas of whats safe to try.

For a baby, without doing meds, use a small amount of ginger ale, you can get it sugar free, it has no caffeine. If you are worried about the acid in the soda, leave the can or bottle of soda opened in the fridge or shake it prior to opening it to release some of the carbonation from the drink, prior to putting it in the bottle. Ginger works very well and it all natural. Good luck.

I would think you could give your one year old Diphenhydramine (Benadryl). It's approved for babies four months and older (with a pediatrician's okay) and is used, among other things, to treat motion sickness. I'm not sure that a doctor would advise using it for this purpose...but that's where I would start.
