Pack A Family Road Trip Emergency Kit

Pack A Family Road Trip Emergency Kit

A family emergency kit covers more ground than a standard roadside kit — think spare clothes and basic medications alongside jumper cables and a tire gauge. Having both covered means fewer surprises derail the trip.

  • Include child-specific items like spare clothes and basic medication.
  • Pack standard roadside items: cables, a flashlight, and a tire gauge.
  • Keep a printed emergency contact list in the glovebox as backup.

Being prepared for both the family and the vehicle can make unexpected situations much easier.

Other key elements to include are water and roadside warning signs in the event your vehicle is disables. There are also several newer, small and powerful electric tire inflaters that are useful to have in the event of a flat tire.
