The First Years American Red Cross Deluxe Healthcare & Grooming Kit

I registered for this item and I thought it was a good deal, but it is a waste of money. The aspirator is hard to use, so we use the hospital one. The thermometer, takes forever and it does not indicate when it's done. The rest of the products are poorly put together. SAVE your money.

The only things I actually use/like in this kit is the hairbrush (its pretty soft) and the thermometer. now, the thermometer takes FOREVER and a day. I think a regular mercury thermometer is faster. and it doesnt say if it is an "but" thermometer (they wouldnt let me use the correct term, strange..), or oral, or underarm.. so theres no way to know how to actually use it. everything else in this kit is useless.

Save you $$. There is not one piece in this set that's worth the [$]. I couldn't use the nail clippers because they broke the 1st time I used them, the aspirator is cheap and has no suction ( the one from the hopital is waaaaaayyyy better) Tne only things I could use were the brush and rattle. Please don't waist your hard earned money.

I registered for this item because it had everything I needed in one pacage. The main reason why I wanted it was for the aspirator, and it works poorly. The suction is terrible comapared to the blue ones they use at the hospital.

I love this (except for the thermometer)! As a first time parent, I wasn't sure what I'd need and it was nice to be able to try the different things out (for ex, clippers vs scissors). I also think the snot-sucker works just fine and I like that you can pull off the back plug and really clean the whole thing out. It's great that it all comes in a bag. It makes it a lot harder for me to lose those little scissors. On top of all that, my baby loves playing with the rattle.

I don't see why this product sells at all. There is nothing really usefull in this set. It's better but better quality items separatle. I guess it's an easy gift, but not usefull at all.

We are very disappointed in this product. The nasal aspirator does not have enough suction and the thermometer takes FOREVER to read a temperature. The speed for a thermometer is important, especially when taking a temperature for a sick baby. We are using the bag and replacing all of the "cheap" items in it with more reliable things.

I pretty much hate this thing. My son is almost 3 months old and the tip of the nose bulb won't even fit in his nostril - I use the one the hospital gave us. The thermometer takes FOREVER to read his temperature! The only things I like are the brush and the nail clippers. I was shocked that the clippers were actually sharp enough to get the job done. Don't waste your money.

I read that I wouldn't need these things, but I was convinced that I would! I have tried to use most of the items, but its pretty pointless. The nose suction does not do anything what so ever to my daughters nose and its very hard to squeeze, and it also leaves those hard lines on your fingers. I use the one the hospital gave us. The nail clippers are terrible, I have tiny hands and I could barely get a good grip on them. The thermometer doesn't seem to get a good reading compared to a better one I received and it takes FOREVER. At 7 weeks, the only thing I am using is the brush, it's very soft on her head. I have already put the rest away in the closet to donate.
