Medibuddy Review and Giveaway

Now that SoJo is walking, or more accurately, running, we're bound to have more falls and scrapes, especially as the weather warms up and he's wearing shorts. I've been lax about stocking a first aid kit with him in mind, and truthfully, I think our box of bandages dates back to the 90s. Mr. Geek and I just don't get cut too often, save for our weekly fistfights (kidding!).

Me4Kidz has us covered (in cartoon bandages). They make kid-centric first aid kits that have all the things you'd need for minor bumps, scrapes and bruises all in one colorful kit, so you don't have to go out and purchase individual items to stock your medicine chest.
The Medibag 4 Kidz is the big star of the show, with everything from antibiotic ointments to gauze to a babysitter's list and even smiley stickers! This would definitely be worth keeping in your kitchen or closet for those minor injuries at home.

I was able to try out the Medibuddy, a smaller version of the Medibag. I've seen these at Babies R Us and thought that they were a great idea, especially for a busy mom like myself, who can barely remember when it's time to buy more toilet paper let alone pick up items for a first aid kit.
The Medibuddy is a small carrying case that fits easily in my diaper bag (or in your car's glovebox) and comes stocked with crayon bandages, first aid ointments, and those cool smiley face stickers that would probably make a boo boo feel better (second to mama's kiss, of course).

The Diaper Bag Buddy is also nice, and I wish I would have had one of these when I first became a mom.
I always have a problem with lots of stuff in my bag, but having a kit of smaller products all in one place would have given me more room for diapers. It would also prevent me from having to dig into the bottom of the bag to find the tube of diaper paste.

It's easy to restock the kits too, since you can order refills. If you buy the Medibag, you actually get a mail-in offer for a free refill!

If you don't have kids, they also offer a Medibag 4 Petz, with first aid items to keep your pooch or kitty healthy.
Me4Kidz is kindly giving away

I would definitely like a Medibuddy. We have a larger baby first aid kit at home, but could use one for on the go. I can't believe there's a thermometer in the larger kit!

Sara and Alex said...

I like the medi buddy and diaper bag buddy. I am impressed with the product and the disposable one time use thermometer. It is handy to have and not easy to carry around your large regular one!

My favorite product of all is the Medibag 4 Kidz. I have a 4 year old that believes that a Band-Aid fixes all boo boos and the smiley stickers are kid friendly items will help turn a potentially scary situation into something positive.I like the fact that there is an instant cold pack included because we always seem to need those.

camelfam said...

The Medibag 4 Kids is my favorite product. We have first aid stuff, but it is everywhere throughout the house. That would be nice to have in one central location.

One thing not mentioned was the sting relief pad (would have been great for when DD got into that bee's nest :( )

amweeks said...

My favorite is probably the Medibag 4 Petz, only because I never think about that type of thing, so it would be great to have on hand. And as a mom who is allergic to bee stings (and those children thankfully aren't!), I love that the Medibag 4 Kidz has a couple of sting pads in it!

Anonymous said...

the medic aid for kids is wonderful the stickers are a real tension releiver for children thanx

Jenn J said...

Wow! I've never seen this site but I really like the products they offer. The kits look great with all the brightly colored tapes and bandages and such being so kid friendly to not frighten them while you work on them but I'm most impressed it inludes a burn gel because a lot of kits nowadays leave that out of the normal supplies. Thanks!!
