When you’re on the road with your family, your first concern is probably to make sure that everyone’s having a good time and staying safe. However, emergencies happen all the time, whether they’re actual road emergencies or emergencies of boredom or even just a papercut that really really hurts. That’s where a good emergency kit comes into play! We’ve got recommendations for a kit that will take care of any emergency that might come your way while traveling – pick your favorites (or pick all of them) and stow them away in a zippable or otherwise close-able bag that can live in your vehicle until it’s needed.
