Before leaving on our road trip earlier this month, we decided it would be a good idea to put together a little emergency kit for the car. Here’s what we came up with:
Fun
- scissors
- pen
- paper
- crayons
First Aid
- ACE bandage
- gauze
- athletic tape and prewrap
- kleenex
- allergy medicine
- sunscreen
- bandaids
- Tylenol
- infant Tylenol
- Neosporin
- contact solution
- Hydrocortisone cream
Tools/Survival
- mirror
- wrenches
- screwdriver
- flashlights
- matches
- poncho
- emergency blanket
Food
- water
- granola bars
We fit all this stuff in a Rubbermaid toolbox and it will just stay in the car indefinitely. I felt much more peace of mind traveling that long distance with 2 kids knowing that if we were stranded, we would have at least some supplies, a little bit of food, and water. Better safe than sorry!
What do you put in your car emergency kit???
