Editorial Review With its neat zippered nylon case, this kit is perfect for travel or for storage in the nursery. The kit's digital thermometer can take a temperature orally, rectally, or from the underarm area, gets a reading in approximately 60 to 90 seconds, and has an automatic shutoff function. The oral medicine syringe and medicine spoon are fairly standard in design but will definitely help make dispensing medicine easy and accurate. Of course, the nasal aspirator is a must for stuffy noses not yet trained in the intricacies of blowing. The kit also includes a nail clipper with a large extended grip to make clipping baby's nails easier on the parent. The case includes pockets to store important health care or emergency information. --Jane Snyder
Only so-so I registered for this without really thinking things through. I have been disappointed with the quality of the items. We had to use the medicine dropper when our son was only 2 weeks old, and it's very difficult to use. If you don't get the medicine dosage right the very first time, it's almost impossible to adjust it. Way too much air gets trapped inside. Additionally, it's hard to clean. As for the bulb syringe- use the one you get from the hospital. It's soooo much better. The themometer is accurate, but it doesn't beep!!! I got very frustrated trying to take my son's temperature under his arm. He was crying, and I had to keep staring at the small digital screen as well as hold him down. The nail clippers are okay. I do like how they have a rather ergonomic handle. Instead of buying a kit, buy what you need separately. You'll pay more, but you'll get a better product. Baby care kit The item that are in this kit except for the nasal aspirator are great. The nassal aspirator is really not big enough for a baby that has a true cold. The larger ones are far better. The other items especially the nail clippers are great. I don't know why other people don't like this kit My baby's nose is small so the nasal aspirator fits perfectly into her nose to suction out mucous when she's congested. Okay, I admit when she gets older, I'll have to use a bigger bulb. (I did buy one separately). The digital thermometer works wonderfully and is very easy to use. The nail clippers are great for clipping those tiny nails and you don't have to be afraid of cutting your baby's skin. I haven't used the medicine spoon yet or the dropper, but I think this is a very handy kit to have.
