Whether you call it a car emergency kit, a vehicle emergency kit, or a roadside kit, the job is the same: have what you need before you need it. Three levels, so you can match the kit to how you drive: one that lives in your glove box, one that handles the car as well as the people in it, and one built for longer waits and two people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything arrives assembled. Put it in your vehicle today and you're done thinking about it. No shopping list, no weekend project. The food and water are sealed and shelf-stable, chosen to hold up through summer heat and winter cold in a trunk, so the kit stays ready between the twice-a-year checks we recommend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure which one?

The best kit is the one that's actually in your car, and at just over a pound this one fits where you can reach it without getting out. A 53-piece first aid kit for the cuts and scrapes that happen with kids in the car, tissues and hand wipes for the everyday messes that aren't emergencies at all, an LED flashlight and light stick, signal whistle, work gloves, reflective blanket, poncho, and two hand warmers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBest for: around-town driving, second cars, new drivers in the family.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeluxe:\u003c\/strong\u003e for the car, not just the people in it.
