Default Car sick

I did a search and did not find much.

I have been trying to take Emma with me more now that she has her shots.

She is getting car sick most of the time. Sometimes a little, and sometimes a lot. These are short rides - 10 - 15 minutes tops with stops to pick things up.

I have tried the not feeding a hour before we go, but it is not making a difference.

Is there something I am not doing correctly. I have her ride up front in the truck seat secured with a riding harness. Would the floor be better. She wants to crawl in my lab some of the time too. She can lay over the center console, but that is a far as the harness will let her.

On this last ride I thought she was doing great, sitting up looking at the world going by - then yuck. The other times she was laying down sideways in the seat looking at me. I did not give any treats either, but was considering using them to teach her how to load and unload.

Speaking of riding harnesses - are there good one out there? I got a simple one from pets smart for now but she will quickly be out growing it

Any help would be appreciated
