KEEP>GOING Kids Travel First Aid Kit

A kids' first-aid kit that lives in the day bag, not the suitcase

A 130-piece kids' first-aid kit with bandages and burn relief, packed in a 2 x 7 x 5 in stain- and water-resistant case with a first-aid guide. It weighs 9.6 oz and is HSA/FSA eligible.

Our take

The first-aid kit in the suitcase is no use when the scrape happens at the beach. Kids get hurt out and about, far from the hotel room. So the kit has to ride in the bag you actually carry.

This one packs 130 pieces, including bandages and burn relief, into a slim 2 x 7 x 5 inch case. At 9.6 oz it slides into a diaper bag or daypack and you'll forget it's there. The case is stain- and water-resistant, so a sandy beach bag or a spilled juice box won't wreck it. A first-aid guide is inside for the stressful moments, and it's HSA/FSA eligible.

It's a supplies kit, not a medicine kit. Add your child's pain reliever, allergy medicine and prescriptions yourself. Travel with young kids? We'd buy it. Check the price before you pack.

Who it’s for

Parents traveling with young kids who want bandages and basic care in the day bag, where they'll actually be when someone falls.

Skip it if

Skip it if you travel without kids or already carry a well-stocked first-aid pouch. A general travel kit covers adults just as well.

KEEP>GOING Kids Travel First Aid Kit: questions people ask

What should be in a kids' travel first-aid kit?

Bandages in a few sizes, antiseptic wipes, something for minor burns, tweezers and a small guide cover most scrapes. Add your child's own medicines, a thermometer and any prescriptions yourself.

Can you bring a first-aid kit on a plane?

Yes, in most cases. Bandages and wipes are fine in a carry-on. Keep any liquids or gels within your carry-on liquid limits, and put scissors with long blades in a checked bag.

Is a first-aid kit HSA or FSA eligible?

This kit is listed as HSA/FSA eligible. If you want to be sure, check with your plan administrator before you buy.
