Maybe you should take him for a ride when he has empty stomach that way nothing can come up... maybe he just needs to get used to it. I never had that problem with my pit.. she loves to go for rides!
Goodluck.. hope someone can give you better advice! lol

He's still young so you might be able to help him overcome this.

Start over:
just sit with him in the car for a couple minutes at a time...anxiety could be a major factor in your young pups motion sickeness.

Make your trips short. Even if it is just around the block...baby steps for the baby.

Eventually take him on longer trips, take breaks every once in a while and give him a potty break, and some fresh air.

My Amstaff wasn't to keen on car rides when we first got him (Age 2), we used the method I described- he now can be in the car all day- literally. He is a traveler. He sits like a regular passenger, and can fall asleep on long rides easier than my wife!

Good luck.
