The Ultimate Travel "Sick Kit" for Trips

10/7/2016

In my previous post on what you should pack for a school trip journey, I mentioned that I designed the ultimate "Sick Kit" for travelling! Since then, I've had some private messages wanting to know more about it, so I thought I'd share with you so you can create your own!

As I mentioned before, I have been on quite a few school trips in my career, and when travelling on coaches it is a safe bet that someone is going to want to vomit at some point... It's heartbreaking to witness kids caught off-guard with travel sickness and seeing them puking all over themselves and their poor partner while have to sit the rest of the journey feeling gross and humiliated...

Well, when it came to me organising my own school trip which involved a 8 hour coach drive up some very mountainous terrain, I decided I would be fully prepared for the worst.  Of course I reminded students and parents that travel sickness pills might be an appropriate idea as well, but just in case, I designed and created the "Sick Kit"!

Here is what you will need (click links to see products on Amazon.com):

  • Sick bags
  • Rubber gloves
  • Wet Wipes 
  • Tissues
  • Plastic bags 
  • Plastic resealable bag

Create a mini "sick kit" for your carry on too!
You can then create lots of mini kits from these resources and give one to each member of staff, or make an individual use kit and place them at the back of each seat on the coach. The coach driver thought I was crazy when I did this at first, but let me tell you, he was thanking me after the 4th child had puked up without making a mess...!
(P.S. plasters / band aids aren't technically related to the "sick" bit, they're super handy to carry around!)

It's so easy to use: after the child has done their thing, simply pop on a pair of disposable gloves, take the paper bag from them and put it into one of the plastic bags. Hand them a disinfectant wet wipe to clean up and toss that in the bag too. You can then keep all these bags in another bag or bin liner until your next stop. No mess, no fuss, no embarrassment. Worth every penny.

So, next time you're on a school trip (especially a coach!) consider preparing your own "Sick Kit" alongside your First Aid Kit - I can promise you it will be worth it!

Ah no, it's awful isn't it! Just being prepared with a few essentials makes all the difference for them!
