Can a One-Year-Old Baby Sit on a Long-Distance Bus?

Question

Can a one-year-old baby sit for two hours in a car without harm?

Answer

Yes, many babies start traveling by car from a few months old and usually don’t sit for very long. It’s crucial to be mindful of the air quality inside the vehicle. Some babies may experience symptoms similar to motion sickness, and in such cases, someone should hold them gently. Additionally, it’s helpful to have items like toys, water, and formula milk (if the baby is not breastfed) prepared for the baby. It’s also important to ensure the baby is neither too cold nor too hot and to address their bathroom needs.
