Keeping a well-stocked first aid kit is the best way to be prepared for a minor medical emergency during a road trip.

Because a family member's health may depend on it, don't be skimpy on the size or quality of the kit you buy.

It's also a good idea to customize the kit, including items specific to your family's health. From glycerin pills to hydrocortisone cream, pack anything members of a family member might need, including:

Epi-pens

Ostomy Supplies

Hearing Aid Batteries

Spare Eyeglasses

Sunscreen
