Safety 1st Essential Sick-Day Screening Kit

Love this product and so helpful. I can check her ear a temperature and have a peace of mind. It's easy to use and love that I can take it with me every where.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sick day screen kit is a must for anyone with kids. The kit includes everything you need to assess your child at home when they are feeling under the weather. The quality of each item is top notch. I love that you can easily look into your child's throat with the light up tongue depressor. The ear otoscope is amazing. I can now tell if my child has an ear infection at home and utilize a telehealth visit. An extra bonus is that it includes batteries! This kit is something I will give as a gift to new moms. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this health kit to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This Essential Sick-Day Screening Kit by Safety 1st is must need for all parents. It allows me to keep all the items I need to declarer my children when they are not feeling well. The quality of the items are top notch. The tongue depressor with the built in light makes it so much easier to see the back of my child's throat without having to juggle holding a regular tongue depressor in one hand and a flashlight in the other. The otoscope is great for looking into my child's ears and seeing if an ear infection might be brewing. I love the nasal aspirator for helping clear out their nasal passages when they have a runny and congested nose. As a parent who works in the healthcare field I really recommend this kit to all families and as the name states it includes so many of the essential things you need at home to evaluate your child when they are sick. It also makes a great gift for new parents!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are probably the most useful tools for children's medical care. The thing I like best is the ear scope—little ones get eat infections so frequently that this can determine whether or not you need to go seek additional medical attention or not. I highly recommend this kit for new parents as a gift! I received the product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me the opportunity to try this. I have seven children and have owned many safety kits over the years but none quite like this. I love this one as it allows screening tools to offer insight into medical problems. I have never owned an otoscope but one would have proven beneficial many times over the years. No more guessing if an earache is just that or if it is an infection or swimmers ear. The light up tongue depressor gives a great view of the back of the throat without leaving you stumbling with a spoon and a flashlight. You can also attach it to a phone so you can capture the image and show your doctor. This is a very nice feature for telehealth visits. I wish the light on the otoscope would stay on without you having to constantly hold it down. That would make it a little easier to use. I would have also liked a bigger travel pouch as I could not fit all the pieces in it. Other than this it was a very nice kit. They even included a card showing what to look for in the otoscope and a QR code is on the actual otoscope in case you need to access it. The directions were extremely thorough as well. They were a little too bulky to fit in the travel pouch as well as they included both English and Spanish directions on the same sheet. I would have preferred separate manuals. All in all I loved this and feel that every parent should have this in their medicine cabinet. It would make a great and practical gift for any new parent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kit has everything you could possibly need when you have a sick child at home. As a nurse practitioner, I believe everyone should have this in their home and in their diaper bag. I think the most useful for me is the otoscope. It can help me determine if I need to take my baby to the doctor for antibiotics or skip the visit. It also gives piece of mind letting me know that her ear tubes are still in place. I also really like that the tongue depressor has a light in place making viewing the throat a lot easier. So checking for strep is a breeze when you can actually see what you are doing! The light is very bright, so if you have a little one that is not very cooperative you can still see what is in there in a quick fashion. This kit helped when my little girl was not feeling well and began to have a fever. The thermometer was quick and easy to use, and showed that she had a fever. She had not been eating well, so I checked the back of her throat hoping she did not get strep. Her throat was red, but not concerning. I took the otoscope and looked at her ears and seen that she did have yet another ear infection. Having this kit helped me to know if I should take the time to take her into the doctor. This kit would be great for any new parents, or parents who do not have this in their home. It has everything you could possibly need and is of great quality! This product is part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel given to me, and this is my honest review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While no one wants to see their children sick, it's great to be prepared for illness, and even better to have items on hand to aid in screening for illness! This kit had great quality items that would help from checking temperature, checking ears, checking throat (tongue depressor), and nasal aspiration. While all items are very useful, I found the light up tongue depressor my favorite item in the kit as it is something that is often overlooked and perhaps not something one would typically think to have at home! When any of my little ones are not feeling well, all these items will come in handy! I would also recommend this as a great baby shower gift! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for proving me with this health kit!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this health kit to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. When I was given this product my 17m old was in the midst of a runny nose causing congestion and a cough. I was so excited and loved the nasal aspirator. The boog ease nasal aspirator worked great for my congested little one. This is my first time using something like this, I usually use the bulb but this is so much faster! My baby wiggled a little while using but didn't cause discomfort. It is so easy to clean and has a double chamber to make sure you don't swallow down boogers. I've heard that other brands have a filter, from what it looks like to me is that this one does not have one. I'm the type of mom though that doesn't mind sharing some germs as long as it helps my baby. It came with two sized of nasal tips to get a better seal. The light up tongue depressor works good the light is great and it can clip attach to your phone, but with my phone case I had trouble stretching it out to clip on right. The ear otoscope gives a very clear image the lens works great I used it on my husband, myself, and my 3year old who can tell me when it's too deep. I was just concerned with how pointy the tip of it was for my 17m old and putting it at the entrance of ear I couldn't see much on him. With the ear otoscope I did love that the tip of it can be removed for easy cleaning as well it's just a cone piece of plastic. The only piece I didn't use was the rectal thermometer since my baby is a little older I use an ear thermometer, but it looks to have some pretty good features such as the over insertion line and it says it does fast readings also it's compact for on the go use. Another plus with this kit is the carrier case for the nasal aspirator I love that it's Soo easy to take on the go and the mesh bag for the other items is great quality mesh I wouldn't be concerned of it ripping or zipper busting. Overall I love this product just a couple little changes such as the phone clip on the tongue depressor, and a filter on the nasal aspirator would make it better. I would purchase this as a baby shower gift! So happy I have this now for future sick days, since my babies are in daycare.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As mom and a nurse practitioner, I thought this kit was very useful. I like how the otoscope was clear enough to be able to determine whether or not there was a probable ear infection, Also included in the kit was a guideline on deciphering, whether the ear was infected or normal, which was very useful. I've always preferred rectal thermometers so Mom may not be as comfortable using it , however This method is the most precise, especially when dealing with young children. I wasn't too sure what the brush was for and we didn't use it too much so maybe not necessary. Overall, the kit was great and I think it be a great gift. Every parent needs one of these in their cabinet, especially for those sick days. Thank you, Stellar for allowing me to review this product In exchange for my honest review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this gift for my honest review by Stellar Product Testing Panel Safety 1st Essential Sick-Day Screening Kit is something I recommend all parents to get. I love that it included a Thermometer, Ear tool , Light-Up Tongue Depress, and a nose sucker. But I wish the thermometer was a little longer especially since having toddlers you need to use a recital for temp. I absolutely love the nose suction, and I love that it came with a case to put the suction back in after using. I highly recommend to any parents who needs a safety kit, that has all the required safety equipment, and affordable.
