Essential small items for private cars: car fire extinguisher, parking contact number plate, and dash cam. Car fire extinguisher: Equipping a fire extinguisher in the car plays a significant role in ensuring both the safety of your beloved vehicle and the passengers (fire suppression). However, it is important to note that the car fire extinguisher should be placed in a readily accessible location. Parking contact number plate: Sometimes, special situations may arise, such as obstructing traffic flow or minor car scratches. With a parking contact number plate, others can promptly contact the car owner. Dash cam: A dash cam is like the 'black box' on an airplane, not only continuously recording the driving conditions but also capturing sounds inside the car. Some dash cams even come with multimedia functions, such as music and navigation. In cases of malicious fraud or traffic accidents, the footage recorded by the dash cam can serve as strong evidence.
I think family sedans require quite a few essential items, especially when considering traveling with children. In terms of safety, a child safety seat is absolutely necessary as it directly relates to the child's life safety; the first aid kit should include bandages, disinfectant, etc., to handle minor scrapes promptly; a spare tire and onboard tools are also crucial in case of a flat tire in remote areas; additionally, I always pack wet wipes and a small blanket to wipe hands and cover the child when they get fussy. For daily convenience, a phone charger is indispensable to avoid getting lost with a dead navigation device; a warning triangle and fire extinguisher are also legally required and kept in the trunk corner. Overall, as a parent who frequently takes short trips, these items make family outings safer and more comfortable, preventing chaotic situations on the road.
