Are headrest monitors more prone to cause motion sickness? I'm trying to decide between overhead or headrest. I like the headrest option for dual monitors/source play but I don't want to be cleaning chunks out of the back seat everytime my daughter or wife sit in the back.

As long as they can't see the movement outside ( like scenary moving ) it should be OK. My girlfriend has car sickness as well and can't read a book in the passenger seat without getting nausea during the day, but at night it's not a problem. That's a tough one to answer because it will depend on the vehicle as well as if the person watching is focused on the screen or more focused with what the driver's doing.

Same with my wife, she can only read for ~ ten minutes or so. She can't sit in the back either, she needs to be able to see the road ahead or else she gets ill.

My wife is who I worry about chunking in my new Armada the most...she often gets car sick when she is the one driving posted_image ...

I'm thinking the overhead will ease the onset with the ability to divert your vision easily out the front window vs. focusing on the back of the seat and seeing the landscape scream by out the side of your vision??????? Was hoping somebody with a motion sickness problem had experience with both types.
