If your child becomes upset because they can’t see you, remember this isn’t a direct safety issue but can be distressing. Having a companion in the backseat or timing travel with nap times can help manage separation anxiety and keep the child engaged. If the child tends to vomit from excessive crying, try not to travel immediately after meals and consider taking frequent breaks. Understanding that separation anxiety is often temporary may also be comforting; children typically learn that you will return at the end of the ride, which can ease their stress.
