NOT a placebo, these things work!
I used to dread taking drives because it was a given my son would get carsick and vomit on any drive more than 5 minutes.<br /><br />I was at a point that I was going to turn him forward facing to see if that helps, since every other recommendation was unsuccessful. He is within the weight to safely do so, but keeping them rear facing as long as possible is statistically safer overall in the event of a crash.<br /><br />As a last resort, I bought a pair of these. Since wearing these he has not vomited on ANY car ride and his carseat remains rear facing.<br /><br />Some people say these are a placebo and don’t work. I don’t know how the placebo effect would apply to a toddler who has no idea what the intended purpose of these are.<br /><br />Proper placement I believe is critical for these to be effective. Luckily, my son does not mess with them at all.<br /><br />There are cheaper alternatives available that will probably work the same, but this particular brand may be more durable and better quality stitching/materials overall; I’ll stick with these!<br /><br />To sum up, it’s worth a shot giving these type of<br />wristbands a try before resorting to medications or in conjunction with. I’ve recommended these to all our friends who are in the same situation.<br /><br />I hope this rather long review was helpful to you.
