Family / Friends Do you have a large family or just one or two people in the household who would ever need to have access to the kit you are purchasing? Is the kit just for a specific trip or vacation or does it need a longer lifespan?
Medical Problems Do any of your children or family have specific medical problems that need to be catered for - prescriptions or equipment should they have a relapse. Do they need back up supplies if none are available at your destination.
Lifestyle What hazards does your lifestyle expose you to? i.e Sports, Travel, Car trips? is there a particular hobby that any of you participate in, that is dangerous or exposes you to risks?
Holidays How often do you go away on vacation or weekends away? Will there be any first aid equipment or supplies at your destination - how far will you be from the nearest emergency services?
