Car Emergency Kit

Written by 1 Comment

Everyone needs to have some type of emergency kit in their car.  I had pinned this idea on Pinterest (Rips in My Jeans and One Good Thing by Jillee) and decided that I would make a kit for each of our cars and one for my mom and brother's as part of their Christmas gift last year.

 I took these two ideas, combined them, and geared them to my family needs.  Since I had a child still in diapers, I had several empty wipe containers so no extra cost there.  Most of the items were purchased at Target, some at Walmart, and at a reasonable price.

Here's the list of everything that I put in and with some finagling, I did fit them all in.
  • two 1 gallon bags
  • travel first aid kit
  • antiseptic wash
  • additional band-aids - I ended up putting them loose instead of keeping in the box to help fit everything in the wipe container
  • lotion - travel size
  • anti-bacterial gel - travel size
  • mini flashlight
  • small travel pack of wipes
  • travel pack of tissues
  • little tin of mints
  • a pen
  • pad of paper
  • travel toothbrush
  • travel toothpaste
  • scissors           
I actually had to open the one in my car up a few weeks ago to get a band-aid for my son.  I like the idea of knowing I have stuff in the car if anything should happen while on a trip or not at home.  If you like what you just read please click to send a quick vote for me on Top Mommy Blogs- The best mommy blog directory featuring top mom bloggers

    If we are going on an extended trip or through some extra cold weather we should amend our Emergency Kits with a few extra items which include a basic set of tools, a coolant hose repair kit, duck tape, extra change of clothes you don't mind messing up and water. It is my routine to keep emergency kit with me.
