What should be in a first aid kit for a very large family?

My family is going to make first aid kits for the house and car(well bus in our case). And where else should we have first aid kits?
Kids are ages 2-18. Mix of boys and girls.
What kind of stuff should we have in them?
We live in the USA
anything else?

1. Fantastic ide for the holiday. I like it when people think in advance and do not wait until it is to late and then wish they had done something earlier.
A well-stocked first-aid kit, kept within easy reach, is a necessity in every home. Having supplies gathered ahead of time will help you handle an emergency at a moment's notice. You should keep one first-aid kit in your home and one in each car. Also be sure to bring a first-aid kit on family vacations.
Choose containers for your kits that are roomy, durable, easy to carry, and simple to open. Plastic tackle boxes or containers for storing art supplies are ideal, since they're lightweight, have handles, and offer a lot of space.
Have a look at the links supplied as it will give you a better understanding on what to put in your First Aid Kit.
Remember you do not have to buy expensive equipment or consumables to have a First Aid Kit
Good luck and enjoy the exercise
