Toys and Games Reviews of International Playthings Little Doctor Kit
Customer Review: 2.5 Year old loves it but falling apart
Summary: 4 Stars
Purchased in part b/c reviews suggested it was the sturdiest of the bunch. Neighbor has the alternative blue case and accessories.My 2.5YO daughter loves this but cramming all the pieces into the case has finally broken the latch beyond repair. The toys are reasonably sturdy but the stethoscope doesn't fit ears well-she just wears it around her neck. (The other child's doctor kit actually transmits some amplified sounds but no electronic sound effects of coughing and thump-thump). The blood pressure unit doesn't go or stay on very well and falls apart. (But after quite a few tries re-assembling it has become part of the game).
Double the price but not double the quality of the blue one.
Customer Review: Great for the imagination
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought this for our 2 1/2 year old son and he loves it. I looked at several doctor kits and this one seemed to be the most sturdy. The pieces themselves are very well constructed (except the pump from the blood pressure arm cuff is hard to keep connected). The only complaint I have is the plastic doctor's bag. You can not put all the toys in it. If you put them all in then it will not stay closed and it often breaks off (you just snap it back together). The container should have been made larger. Overall, I would recommend this product. It is great for imaginary play and a way to introduce your child to the doctor, especially if he is afraid to go to his regular checkups.Customer Review: I'm a medic and love that my little girl can assess me as a patient
Summary: 5 Stars
I work as a firefighter medic and bought this for my little girl as she always wants to imitate her daddy. Now she can and this is safe for a two year old. Blood pressure cuff comes apart but actually that is good as it does not become a strangulation hazard for young children. She plays with this often and it makes daddy happy as maybe she will want to become a doctor as opposed to a firefighter. Also she has had a lot of bronchial issues with frequent visits to the doctor lately and this has really made her more comfortable with the frequent examinations. She actually enjoys the doctors office and allows me to assess her as well. Great toy.Customer Review: We like it : )
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased this set for our 2 year old son, and he loves it. He plays with it quite a bit. He loves to take the temperature of & give shots to all of his stuffed animals (& of course mommy & daddy.) The coughing sounds from the stethoscope are amusing. It really has taught him about the different things that a doctor does...we hope it will make his next visit a bit easier. As far as the length of the stethoscope being too short (a complaint in another review), I am sure it is for safety reasons. We find it is sufficient. The tube for the blood pressure guage does come out easily, but is fixed without much effort.Customer Review: Bruised & disappointed
Summary: 4 Stars
Although my 2 1/2 yr. old loves playing with her doctor kit, my husband & I have bruises from the reflex hammer - it is much too hard for a child to play with. The handles on the carrying case are always falling off and very difficult to put back on! The stethescope has started to tear because it has to be folded in order to fit in the case. The blood pressure cuff has to be taken apart in order to fit back in the case. It is impossible for a toddler to "clean up" as the case is just too small to replace all of the instruments adequately! I am very disappointed with the design of this kit.
