Roadside Assistance Safety Kit

assistance_safety_kitYou will never know when can disaster strike. Sometimes, it happens when you are not very much prepared or when you have something important to do. It is like the world is conspiring against you making your car fail you at that critical point. The first thing that you need to think of isn’t really that meeting of yours or the deadline that you should be beating. Rather, it is your safety that should first come into your mind and this kit just takes care of that.

This Roadside Assistance Safety Kit from ThinkGeek.com is for people who wants to get a complete go-bag that would be a perfect emergency item addition in the trunk. The kit is in a nice triangular shaped nylon bag that contains the following:

  • Booster cables
  • Orange safety vest
  • Cotton gloves
  • 2-in-1 screwdriver
  • Bungee cord
  • Roll of PVC tape
  • Emergency poncho
  • Flashlight with batteries
  • Cables ties
  • 19 pieces of first aid supplies

The booster cables could be the real life saver here based on my experience since your car could be revived by another car’s battery by using these. The flashlight and vest could really be handy during night occurances, poncho when it is raining, cable ties and PVC tape to organize and cover things and the first aid supplies to keep yourself medically attended while help is one the way.

Whether you are driving a beater car or the latest hybrid, it is still a fact that breakdowns can occur and this kit could be just the thing you need.

Wingman Car Seat

Wingman Car Seat

Another car seat for your kid? Oh it isn’t interesting to buy.

But take a snap here; they hardly ever release designs different from every other car seat developed in the past twenty years. Yes, they might have more safety features, but usually you’re going to get stuck with some dull designed car seat probably featuring cartoon charters. This seems a bit inequitable once you imagine about it. Am I right?

Besides, your kid doesn’t really mind what their car seats design till their later years of sitting in one.

Why don’t you buy a car seat that will look attractive in your car? A designer has decided to create one, inspired by racing gear.

Rory Craig, a designer, pitched his design idea from Sparco Motor Sports. They are famous for their racing enthused seats and safety harnesses. The car seat will positively work for your child throughout all three of the phase they will go through in a car seat. It would lessen your expense to buy a new car seat.

Its body is made out of carbon fiber which means it will be very frivolous and well-built. The designer invests $4,000 to produce the seat, with any luck the next model he craft won’t be pretty so luxurious.

Have one and try it. If interested bid here.
