Traveling, especially with kids, is always an adventure and it’s wise to not only expect the unexpected but to plan for it as well. Whether we’re heading out the door to the grocery store or on a months-long trip, there are a couple of things I always make sure I have close at hand: bandages and wipes. These two essentials come in handy ALL the time.
When I was traveling to the east coast with my family this summer, after I had packed all my essentials, I debated whether to throw a full-size first aid kit in my suitcase. Would a few bandages suffice? But when my son fell off his bike while riding along the gravelly roads of Nantucket one day and scraped up his knee badly, I couldn’t have been more relieved that I had packed my Keep Going first aid kit and had everything I needed on hand to clean and bandage him up, and send him back on his way.
Keep Going first aid kits are cute, practical and have everything you could possibly need to tend to a first aid situation. For families with young children especially, a first aid kit can provide peace of mind, but they’re handy for kids and adults alike. From minor cuts and bruises to more serious incidents, being prepared allows you to address injuries promptly and effectively. A well-equipped first aid kit can prevent minor issues from escalating, possibly even saving you from a hospital visit.
Before discovering Keep Going first aid kits, my emergency items were packed a bit haphazardly and I’d often be scrambling to find those bandages that I know I’d packed … somewhere. But with one of these kits, I have everything I need, thoughtfully labeled and organized, all in one place. And I love that they come in three different sizes to suit every situation, whether you’re traveling or running errands or just want to keep one in the car.
The SuperKit
The SuperKit is the largest option, ideal for families or anyone planning extended trips. It contains 270 pieces, including a comprehensive selection of bandages, gauze, antiseptic wipes, and other essentials like tweezers and scissors. The SuperKit also features items for more specific needs, such as burn cream, cold packs, and eye pads. The sturdy case ensures everything stays in place, even in the most packed suitcases.
The GoKit
For shorter trips or if you’re looking for a more compact option, the GoKit offers a balance of portability and comprehensiveness. With 130 pieces, this kit includes a variety of bandages, antiseptic wipes, adhesive tape, and more. The GoKit is perfect for keeping in your car or carry-on bag, ensuring you’re prepared without the bulk of a larger kit. Its compact size doesn’t compromise on essential items, making it a reliable choice for all types of travel.
The MiniKit
The MiniKit is the smallest and most portable option, perfect for day trips or keeping in your purse or backpack. Despite its size, it packs 60 essential items, including bandages, antiseptic wipes, and a small pair of scissors. The MiniKit is a great option if you want to be prepared without carrying a larger kit. Its cute patterns and small size make it a favorite among parents and solo travelers alike.
You’ll never be sorry you packed a first aid kit and I love the Keep Going kits because they’re portable, compact, high-quality and have everything I need, saving me from having to spend time buying each and every item individually. The next time you’re traveling, I highly recommend packing one of these; you won’t regret it.
