Physiological reasons, due to the fact that the baby's own physical development is not complete. The vestibular system, which regulates the balance of the baby's body, is also restricted. When an infant is in the car, the baby may get motion sickness if the balance system is imbalanced.

To put it simply, if what the baby sees is not the same as what he feels in his body, the baby's body will have a feeling of "panic", leading to dizziness and vomiting, etc. Pathological reasons, if the baby is not feeling well, it will affect his balance system, gastrointestinal digestive system, nervous system, etc., resulting in motion sickness of the baby. In short, when sick, the baby's body becomes weaker and more prone to motion sickness.

For psychological reasons, the child has had motion sickness before. If this experience has a serious psychological impact on the child, the child will remember the previous motion sickness when he sits in the car again, and then he will be psychologically nervous and afraid of motion sickness again. This worry can cause overlapping stress on the child's psyche, which will continue to increase as the ride lasts until the child develops motion sickness.

The state of the vehicle, because the baby's physical strength is relatively weak, so when the vehicle is driving, the road is too bumpy, or the vehicle stops in an emergency, etc., will cause the baby's motion sickness.
