Cold Weather - What do you keep in the car?

**TAZ** · 17-01-2013, 11:57 AM

With the persistent cold weather forecast, I was wondering what you all keep in your cars 'just in case'

I want to get a box together and was wanting ideas

Snacks, couple of cartons of juice, warm clothing, nappy changing bits if needed, fleecy blankets. We have most of this in our car all year round

I have a bag containing snacks (savoury and sweet), bottled water, nappies, extra fleeces, wellies but I don't keep it in the car I just grab it when we go out. I always have blankets, wipes and first aid kit in the car anyway. 3 years ago I got stuck in the snow for 4hrs after a visit to the supermarket with a very unhappy 2yr old DD who got fed on mini cocktail sausages because she was hungry

I will never forget that. 10mins from home and it took 4hrs.

Thank you for your replies,
I guess we prob normally have most things we need but think I might make sure I have some extra snacks, drinks & blankets just in case

I've invested in some snow socks for the car wheels so at least I can still keep moving. I'm out in the countryside so need them ;-)

Apart from the normal emergency bits I the car nothing as when we get the slightest freeze my locks freeze and I can't get into the car,
I'd rather walk anyway it feels safer to me and living in a small town I know most people so would just knock on a door and ask for help if I came unstuck for any reason.
