It looks like car manufacturers finally got it right when they started adding car charging ports to vehicles. A charged phone goes a long way when you're stranded, but what happens when roadside assistance is taking too long? Or, when a simple tool and skill can get you back on the road in minutes? Investing in an emergency kit for your car could save you a lot of time and money.
This list won't consist of essential items like cell phone chargers, spare tires, and jumper cables. You should already know that those are items you need to keep in your car. Here are some essential items for winter driving, long road trips, driving with children, and more.

A customer gave this window breaker a perfect rating and said, "As a firefighter of 32 years (retired) I've used this tool many times and it works flawlessly. The chances of a person having to ever use it is slim. But if you need to extract yourself or come across an accident where a quick extrication is required. It will be a very handy tool."
Another customer put it to the test on a junk car and said it worked. You never know what could happen. Heck, this would even come in handy in cases where babies and dogs are left in hot cars. It also cuts seatbelts!
Food is a must! Whether it's granola bars, water bottles, or dried fruit, keep something yummy in your car. If you live in an area with bad traffic, then you'll be glad you had a snack ready when your ETA to the nearest exit is two hours. Especially if you have children in the car.
