What You Need to Know Before a Trip to the Emergency Room

Snack Attacks
If you want to make sure your kids continue to eat and drink healthily while you’re on the road, BooginHead’s Squeez’Ems ($6.99) and Pack’Ems ($9.99) are essential kids travel gear. These reusable food and drink packs allow you to make your own smoothies and snacks. They’re portable and great tossed in the cooler—and no doubt healthier than anything you’ll find at a convenience store or beachfront concession stand.

In Case of Emergency
No one plans for an emergency while on vacation—that’s why they’re called emergencies. In the unlikely event you find yourself in the ER away from home, Kinsights’ Personal Pediatric Health Record allows you to keep track of your children’s health information electronically. Just print off a copy before your trip or access it on your mobile device. Best of all, it’s free for all parents living in the U.S.
