Emergency can strike at any time, catching us off guard and putting us in immediate survival mode.
While volunteering with the American Red Cross, Amy Sandoz saw firsthand how difficult it was for busy families to prepare for emergencies. To aid families in emergency preparation, Amy launched Ready Set Go Kits, providing ready-made emergency survival kits and assorted disaster supplies.
I received the Emergency Kit for Kids to review, and having it in my vehicle gave me a sense of security, especially while driving in some harsh winter storms. I knew that if my car broke down, I would have emergency supplies within reach.
I am very impressed by the quality and durability of the Emergency Kit for Kids. I also appreciate how well it is organized and the fact that there is still plenty of room to add additional supplies and toys.
The Emergency Kits for Kids is just one of the many available kits for sale at Ready Set Go Kits. It comes packed in a child-sized backpack and is designed to meet the needs of a child 11 years old and younger.
Each kit contains the emergency supplies for a child during the first 72 hours of a disaster and space for your child to pack items that are important to him/her.
- 6 Boxes of Aqua Blox Water Boxes – 5 year shelf life
- 6 – 400 Calorie Food Bars (2400 Calories) – 5 year shelf life
- 10 Water Purification Tablets – each tablet purifies 1 liter of water
- Rechargeable Squeeze Flashlight – 3 LED flashlight
- 3 – 12 Hour Green Emergency Glow Sticks
- 5-in-1 Survival Whistle
- Polar Fleece Blanket
- 16-20 Hour Body Warmer
- Emergency Poncho for Children
- Warm Winter Gloves
- N95 Respirator Dust Mask – NIOSH approved
- 3 Pocket Tissue Packs
- Hygiene Kit
- 36 Piece Portable First Aid Kit
- Activity Coloring Book
- Children’s Toys
The survival kit was designed using advice from experts in the emergency preparedness industry. It follows guidelines given by government agencies and non-profit preparedness organizations.
Ready Set Go Kits offers emergency kits for home, car, kids, dogs, cats, schools and offices. They also offer disaster-specific emergency kits for earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes. You can also find a selection of emergency supplies.

LOVE those Ready Set Go Kits….never thought about an emergency kit for kids, GREAT IDEA!!!!
We live in an earthquake and tsunami area. I’d love one of those for our kids!
We’d love this packed in our van in our safety rubbermaid we keep flashlights, blankets, jumper cables and flares and other roadside emergency tools. We never want to think of being stranded for days or even hours with a child, but it did happen this winter as snow emergencies. Ya just never know what could be upon us…
Great idea! I need one of these!

This is a great idea. Was thinking about this in the wake of the tornado that just happened near us.
I would love to be entered for this. You can never be too safe.

I’ve been meaning to get one of these. I tried the “food bars” from my last kit and they were truly awful. I hope i never get hungry enough to consider that as food. But there are some great camping meals with a long shelf life that would be a great addition to anyone’s survival kit.
I would love to have this for safe keeping. I would hope never to use it, but it is a great thing to have if you do need it!!
Great thing to have on hand, just in case
It was really hard to hear about what happened in Japan. 🙁 We could use one of these packs to help us be more prepared because you just never know. Thanks for the giveaway!
I shared this on Facebook.
This is a wonderful giveaway. Thanks for the chance!
One of these emergency kits would be great to have on hand. Thanks.

Great idea. When disaster happens it would be a wonderful thing to know that you have something for the kids.
Would love to win! Thanks!! 🙂
awesome giveaway! thanks for the chance!~
What a great idea. Thanks for the chance to win a great product.
This is a great idea! Was just talking to the wife about these type of kits. The KIDS kit is something I never thought of. Putting together one for the family & one for the pets too. Also…think about putting together a bug-out-bag with some extra cash, clothes ( underwear, socks & shrits, etc.. ) copies of important documents ( birth cert., insurance papers, phone #’s for family, etc.. ) and for those military guys & gals ( GOD bless our troops ) extra magazines & ammo.
It’s important to be prepared! Great giveaway.
Thanks for the great info about this product, and the opportunity to win one!
We all need to be better prepared for emergencies. Thanks for the giveaway!

It really is a great idea. I think everyone needs an emergency kit and having another if you have young kids is great. I know if diaster strikes my young kids would like their own emergency kit.
thanks for the chance

What a well thought out and useful product…living in the Midwest in a rural are we get our share of tornadoes and blizzards, this would come in handy, thanks.
I definitely need one of these. As soon as we found out we were expecting, my partner kept saying we needed an emergency kit for the house and car. So far neither he nor I have made one. I’ll look into these for sure, but getting one for free would ne awesome!
What a great idea! Thanks so much for the giveaway!

This sounds great. Thanks for offering it! I will tweet it too.
This is a great idea. I always think I’ll put one together but have never formally accomplished that task.
I love the kits for kids idea.

Thank you for this. I have extended family that has lived in Japan and married into Japanese families. Thankfully they are safe so far.
These sound great!
How awesome that someone has put these together. It makes it so much easier than trying to figure it all out on your own!
This is a great idea! Thanks for the chance to win a kit.

Fantabulous!

We live in an area with a large fault line, so earthquakes are on the minds of people around here, and we’re definitely in tornado territory, so this would be a great thing to win!
This is a wonderful giveaway! So good to be prepared!

I’m in Southern California and would really like one of those kits. With everything going on in Japan, being prepared for the big one is at the forefront of my mind.
Wow, what a timely resource. My husband and I were just talking today about how we need to have supplies on hand, and get a plan together. With three small children, we can’t afford to not be prepared. Hope I win!
Thanks for the chance!
Great idea!
Great idea for a giveaway! I think this is on all of our minds right now.
