Emergency kits are something you don't always think about until you really, really need them — which is not the time to be wishing you had one on hand. The best first-aid kit is an available first-aid kit, after all. That's why experts recommend keeping many on hand. It's useful to have an emergency car kit and a travel first aid kit, in addition to an emergency kit in your home, for instance. You can even get emergency kits that are for specific situations — like a hiking first aid kit, or a pet first aid kit, or a first aid kit for kids. These packs of supplies help ensure you're ready for anything from a kid's cut to a workout injury to a more serious emergency.
We rounded up 14 of the best first-aid kits on the market. These are the ones that get tons of four- and five-star reviews, and come equipped with all the first-aid supplies you'd need in an emergency situation. Scroll through and find the one (or three) that best suits your life and your needs. We hope you never have to use them, but better safe than sorry.
