PreparaKit Kids Travel First Aid Kit
A pocket-size kids' first-aid kit you'll actually carry
A 75-item, latex-free first-aid kit for kids, designed by a mom and a nurse, in a pocketed case about 5.5 x 3.75 in. The contents are TSA-compliant and the kit is HSA/FSA eligible.
Our take
A big first-aid kit is great until it stays at the hotel. The one that helps is the one on you when the toddler falls. At about 5.5 x 3.75 inches, this fits a purse, stroller basket or car door pocket.
Inside are 75 latex-free items, designed by a mom and a nurse, in organized pockets you can open one-handed while holding a crying kid. The contents are TSA-compliant, so it rides in a carry-on with no fuss, and it's HSA/FSA eligible. On a week away with two or three kids, though, the bandages go fast. Medicines aren't included either.
Use it as the grab-and-go kit for outings and flights, and keep a bigger stash in the suitcase. For that job, we'd buy it. Check the price before your trip.
Who it’s for
Parents who want a tiny kit that's always on them for day trips, flights and outings with young kids.
Skip it if
Skip it if you need one kit to cover a long trip or a big family. A larger family kit with more refills makes more sense.
