Keep Going After Small Injuries with KEEP>GOING

Spring Break and Summer vacations are coming and usually that means trips with the kids. I don’t know about you, but as an adult, I can be clumsy, so I often pack a bag like I have children: snacks, bandages, plastic bags for trash, snacks, or wet items. You never know what might happen, especially when you’re away from home. 

This time of year is popular for road trips to theme parks, National Parks, and the beach, all of which can be places for spills, falls, and scrapes, so you absolutely want to be prepared, whether you’re traveling with kiddos or not. 

One of the things I like to keep in my car during a road trip is a basic first aid kit, but what if you need more than just some antiseptic wipes and a bandage? Enter KEEP>GOING First Aid. They have a variety of first aid kits, including this GoKit that’s a compact kit full of all the stuff you need for all your adventures. No matter where you go, from Disneyland to camping in the woods to your child’s soccer game, this kit contains over 100 items to fix everything from chapped lips to mild burns. 

KEEP>GOING is a small business started by the Pepper family, who have 4 active kids. They’re family wants to keep your family safe through these cute and useful kits. The first thing you’ll notice is how adorable the prints are, but also that they are pretty chic looking and have a wrist loop, so you can take it with you wherever you go. Wear it, hang it on your stroller, or slip it in your backpack or day bag.

It’s hard to find a first aid kit that isn’t bulky and doesn’t take up half your carry-on or purse. This has all the necessities, but in a compact cube. Inside is a waterproof zipper pocket, two “pages” with convenient slip pockets on both sides, and a mesh slip pocket. It’s laid out so you can see everything inside easily. You won’t be pulling everything out to find something specific, which is very important when you need to be quick.
