Car & Travel

Every mile, prepared.

17 products for the car and for trips away: kits for breakdowns and winter roads, rescue tools within the driver's reach, and thoughtful extras for your smallest passengers.

The open hatch of a family SUV at dusk, packed with a roadside emergency bag, a red warning triangle, a first aid pouch and a blanket
The trunk: where the big kits live.

Packing guide

A place for everything in the car.

Where you keep safety gear matters as much as having it. A belt cutter in the trunk can't help someone stuck in the driver's seat. Here's where each thing belongs, numbered on the drawing.

Top view of a car, nose to the right, with six numbered places: the driver's reach, the glovebox, the door pockets, under the front seat, the back seat and the trunk TRUNK BACK SEAT FRONT 123456
  1. 1

    Within the driver's reach

    Keyring, sun visor or center console

    A belt cutter in the trunk is no use to someone buckled in. Keep it where the driver can reach it without moving.

  2. 2

    In the glovebox

    Passenger side, in front

    First aid for everyday bumps, with your insurance details and emergency contacts beside it.

  3. 3

    In the door pockets

    Front doors

    Put a vest on before you step out. In the trunk, it's behind you and the traffic.

  4. 4

    Under the front seat

    Strapped in its bracket

    Close at hand, and held down so it can't roll under the pedals.

  5. 5

    On the back seat

    Where the kids ride

    Eyes on a rear-facing baby, shade for small faces, and a nudge that nobody's left behind.

  6. 6

    In the trunk

    Packed and strapped down

    The big kits. Strap or wedge them in, so nothing flies forward in a hard stop.
