I’ll never forget a particular road trip we took to Fort Worth, Texas a little over six years ago. We drove in for the day to attend an event and planned to just drive back late that same night, so we decided we didn’t really need to bring much with us. J was almost 4, and C was a little over 2, so we didn’t even have to bring a huge diaper bag with us – we just brought a few diapers and a pack of wipes and thought we were good to go!
We made it through the day without incident, and decided to grab dinner before we hit the road. Brian was holding C as we waited to order, and then… sick got real. It got real all over C and ALL over Brian. The amazing employees told us they would handle clean up, but then we were left to figure out how to clean up Brian & C. We hadn’t brought any clothes, so we had to run to the store to buy replacement clothes, paper towels, a bucket, and some Children’s Advil® for his fever that seemed to pop up out of nowhere!
I won’t lie, that night was pretty rough (especially for Brian, who bore the brunt of the … sick – ew!). We’re so thankful we were near a Target and could run in for the supplies we needed, but we also learned how important it is to be prepared.
Whether it’s a day trip or a long cross-country trek we always travel with basic kids’ medicine. Children’s Advil®, Children’s Dimetapp®, Children’s Robitussin® are great to have on hand so that if sick gets real, you’re ready!
- Children’s Advil® is a great solution for kids as young as 2 and up to 11 to ease aches and pains & to bring down fevers. Children’s Advil® comes in several flavors, including: Sugar-free Dye-free Berry, Bubble Gum, Grape, Blue Raspberry, Fruit and Dye-Free White Grape (our kids’ favorite!) flavors. There’s also Infants’ Advil® White Grape, which provides unsurpassed fever relief (among OTC pain relievers) with a syringe for easy dosing for children 6-23 months.
- Children’s Robitussin® Extended-Release 12 Hour Cough Relief is awesome to have on hand for controlling and relieving symptoms all day and night. Available in grape or orange flavor, for children ages 4 and up. Please note, certain Children’s Robitussin® products are only suitable for children ages 6 and up.
- Children’s Dimetapp® Multi-Symptom Cold Relief Dye-Free eases your child’s stuffy and runny nose, while quieting a bothersome cough. All in a great-tasting grape flavor that’s dye-free, for children ages 6 and up.

Love the sick kit, I need to get one of these for the house and the car.
I just love the Sneeze & Stow Tissue Box hack that is a good one.
I guess the sneeze and stow tissue box is a cute hack. However, we just have stations at our house. At the stations (end tables, desk, bedrooms) are tissue box, cute small garbage can, and hand sanitizer.
Sneeze & Stow Tissue Box hack IS A WINNER IN MY EYES!
I like the Slip-Free Sick Socks hack.
The slip free socks sound great, really comfortable and useful.
I love the Sick Kit
I love the sick kid sip and track – I feel like it makes getting enough fluids a game!
We have a similar hack to the sneeze and stow tissue box – Always good to toss the germs in an enclosed area.
Actually, the Sneeze & Stow Tissue Box is a great idea! The used tissues do seem to pile up when someone has a runny nose, and end up everywhere.
The sip-and-track water bottle is my favorite. I always have a hard time getting the kids to drink enough water, even when they aren’t sick. They just want milk.

The sneeze and stow tissue box is my favorite sick hack!
sneeze-stow-tissue-box is a great idea. I usually hand my sick kid a box of tissue and a plastic bag. It is easy to fine the empty tissue box for the used tissue, and a plastic bag.
