Emergency Car Kit

I like to keep a bin in the trunk of my car that I consider to be an emergency car kit. Having an extra change of clothes for the kids, a few extra bucks when I’ve forgotten my wallet, or even a roll of paper towels to clean up a spill has come in handy more times than I can count. I wanted to share with you in case you wanted to create an emergency car kit of your own.

What to include in an emergency car kit:

• Jumper cables
• Flashlight
• Cash
• Tools to change a tire
• Rain ponchos
• Blanket
• Snacks (granola bars, crackers, things that don’t expire quickly)
• Notepad and marker in case you want to leave someone a note
• Wet wipes
• Hand sanitizer
• Roll of toilet paper
• Paper towels
• Baby items (if necessary)
• Bug Spray
• Sunscreen
• Pain Reliever
• Entertainment for Kids (Books / Soccer Ball / Glove and Ball)
• Fold Up Stroller or Wagon for younger children
• A change of clothes for the kids
