Fisher-Price Medical Kit

My son absolutely loves this. He is so into playing doctor and using all the tools. The toy medical equipment is so much what they use at the doctors.Pros:Stethoscope is audible but not loud to keep the little one's ears safeThermometer has temperatures on the dial to show good temperatures and abnormal temperatures (the degrees in both Fahrenheit and Celsius and is color coded green and red)Otoscope is big enough not to go into the ears so it prevents harming the little one's earsThe needle is user-friendly and isn't portrayed as "scary" but rather fun to the little ones. It recoils really easy and is easy for the little ones to push.Cons:The bandaid is hard and is smaller than what I would prefer for a little kid. It is only big enough to fit around my 35lb three year old's wrist. I feel that it should be somewhat flexible.The blood pressure cuff is hard to keep attached and falls off easily. I am unsure if it is just mine or if they are all made this way for safety measures.The sphygmomanometer goes around in circles and has no numbers or any detail to it. It seems kind of pointless but I suppose it is just for little kids. I would have liked to at least pictures of happy faces and sad faces like the thermometer to allow for better play.Overall, this product was fun to play with for both adults and kids. It is a good ice breaker for when its necessary to take kids to the doctors and allows them to learn what the different tools are for. I will still give this product a five star rating because the cons are more of what I would have liked the product to have.

To help my daughter get used to the doctor, we decided to buy one of these sets. The actual Wal-Mart store only had a "Kids Connection" set for 4.88, we went ahead and bought that just to hold her over. :) Any how, I ordered this the same day and got it the following Monday. My daughter couldn't wait for me to open it. She is 2 1/2 yrs old.Since we recieved it, she has been playing with it daily and constantly carries the bag with her where she goes, even to the doctor's office yesterday when we went for a sonogram. It has become a fun toy that my husband, my daughter, and I enjoy because it does make her so happy.Ok, some people are complaining about the stethoschope...IT REALLY WORKS as far as a toy is concerned. You can listen to heart beats in the chest if you put the cup on bare skin. I am shocked at how many people complain about it. If you want a real working one, go visit your nearest medi-supply store. And the arm cuff, so it may not wrap tightly around a toddler or child's arm at all, but who doesn't have a toddler that freaks out when something unfamiliar is on their skin. Someone even mentioned it being too big for a wrist.........well, if you pay attention at the doctor office, it goes above the elbow. :/ It fits mine and my husband's arm perfect. If you want it to fit on a toddler or child's arm, buy a strip of velcro to make it work.Overall, I think the quality it great. It reminds me of the ones we used to play with when we were kids. If some of ya'll can remember the thermometer looked like a barber (candy cane) pole when you spun the end. :) We all enjoy it and have tons of fun with it. And it's simple to play along and learn with your kids....worth the purchase for sure no matter where you buy it from.

nice product

Last fall, my twins watched some TV shows that showed doctors and they started using various toys around the house as their doctor equipment. I love their imaginations but thought getting them a doctor kit would be a great idea. There are so many to choose from but I chose this one because it was a decent price by a good brand and figured I would give it a chance even with the mixed reviews.This medical kit contains the following pieces:- Thermometer with a dial on it which shows three different temperatures and a happy or sad face- Bandage made of hard plastic and is a good size for small wrists- Syringe that actually moves in and out- Otoscope to look in ears- Stethoscope that fits a preschooler's head well (and it actually fits my head too!)- Blood pressure cuff with a pump and dial that work. The cuff is big enough to fit on my arm.- Green bag for holding all of the supplies with a couple pieces of Velcro at the top to close it.When my twins opened this kit on Christmas morning, they were so excited! They were eager to give us checkups and have used it quite a bit since then. My daughter got a Doc McStuffins vet kit so she mostly uses that and my son usually uses this kit. My son even likes to use this kit to give his animals checkups which is pretty cute. One of the things I had mostly hoped for was that this kit would help them get over their fear of going to the doctor's office for their checkups since they could recognize what the equipment does. Either this kit works miracles or my kids just matured more (they recently turned four), but they didn't have any problems at their recent checkup and I was so happy! One thing about this kit is that a few of the pieces feel a bit cheap but honestly, for the price, the quality is good. The recommended age for this kit is three years.My kids play with this medical kit a lot and everything is still in good shape. It may not hold up for a long time but if it lasts us about a year or so, I will be happy. If you are looking for an inexpensive doctor kit for your little one, this is a good option!

Perfect for kids. My child used & enjoyed. Can quickly outgrow it though.
