When it comes to family holidays, it’s easy to get swept up in packing the fun stuff – snacks, games, gadgets. But one of the most important things you can pack is a decent first aid travel kit (with a bit of help from our free checklist). It’s one of those things you hope you won’t need … but when you do, you’ll be glad you planned ahead.
After years of travelling with kids (and more than a few mishaps), I’ve perfected my own DIY first aid travel kit checklist for families. It’s more comprehensive than the standard chemist kits, with extras that actually make a difference when you’re dealing with fevers, bites, dodgy tummies, and the mysterious rash that always appears the day before a flight.
But instead of listing everything right here, I’ve bundled it all up into a free handy printable.

Whether you’re heading to French Polynesia, the Australian bush, or somewhere else, having the right supplies on hand can mean the difference between a minor hiccup and a major disaster. This checklist is what I personally use when we pack for family travel.
