Picture does not match actual kit! Please don't buy if you're looking for the items in the picture!

I bought this kit because I wanted the temperature tester that many people raved about in the reviews. However, when I actually got the kit, it wasn't the kit that was pictured. In fact, it's a 26 piece set and not a 24 piece set. You actually get the Deluxe Baby's Essential Kit from Summer Infant instead. Apparently, they no longer make this kit and when I wrote Amazon to complain about it, they told me to take it up with Target instead. Finally ended up keeping the kit because it was such a pain to resolve the issue and they don't offer the kit I was looking for anymore. Haven't really found anything useful in the kit except for the nail clipper and nail files. Save your money and just buy the pieces you need instead.

Good

It was much more economical to purchase the kit as opposed to buying everything individually. There are things that your baby will not use at least for a couple of months but it is very user friendly.

The only downfall is that when the battery in the thermometer goes dead it cannot be replaced. I received mine with a dead battery so my thermometer is useless but there is also the forehead temperature reader so I am using that instead.

This product isn't bad but when purchased try to get one with a reusable thermometer.

Fair

The quality of the products does not seem as good as the picture. It looks cheap.

Not a bad little kit

Contrary to what another reviewer said I did not get any of these things or any baby care items when I left the hospital with my baby. So this came in handy. The only items I really use are the nail clippers, thermometer and baby brush. Because the nail clippers are so big in my hand I don't drop them as easily as I would regular small ones if my baby hits my hand. They are nice and sharp also. I haven't found a need for the way the top is able to swival though. Everything is pretty standard and not very low quality as I had feared. The brush is like a typical baby or doll brush (very soft and fine) and doesn't help getting the cradle cap scales off very well. The tub thermometer is ok, but is rather hard to read underwater. The carrying case is clear and zippered which I found very handy since I could see at a glance what was in it and what was missing. I think I would have prefered to just buy the items individually for more money, but if you don't have much to spend this would be good.

I like all items that came w/ it and not to mention the case that holds everything. Also liked that the clipers have a large grip handle to them. I am thinking these kits come in various colors but if not I would just like to suggest that maybe they could make them in green, blue, pink and yellow as well. I like the purple, just thinking along the lines that some people are picky about colors go for boys & girls.

Good for the Money

I registered for this item and it arrived while I was in the hospital. I was so relieved to find it when I got home. I'll admit that not all the items are necessary, but it is still a fabulous kit. All I came home from the hospital with besides my son was an aspirator and ointment for my son's circumcision. The brush and comb are obviously highly useful. The nail clippers are my favorite even though I did get several pairs with gifts and such. The adjustable and extra long handle is great. The scissors and aspirator have also been handy. I never used the alcohol wipes or emery boards. I haven't used the tweezers yet, I just haven't needed them, but I'm sure the day will come.
I used one of those rubber finger toothbrushes until my son was about 9 months old, but when he bit clean through it and bruised my finger we switched to this toothbrush. (my son was a fairly early teether and was cutting his molars by then). We're now on are third toddler toothbrush and he's not even 2 yet. The temp tester has been used since his first tub bath at just a few weeks old and still is. I've never had any problems with it being variable or unreliable. The digital therm. has been great. I've always used it to get an underarm temp. not an oral. I was told by both my son's doctor, her nurses, and the workers at Babies R Us that the ear thermometers were less reliable unless you got a hospital quality one, which is not what is available in the stores. I haven't used the medicine dispensers because most medicines come with their on droppers but if I ever loose one or have to throw one away for some reason I can because I have these reusable ones as backups.

Overall I think this is a great kit for new parents and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Great product has everything you need

It's been awhile since the last review so I thought I'd share my opinion. While some hospitals may (did) give you some of the items in the kit, it's not a guarantee that they will and there's nothing wrong with having a backup. I actually have 2 of these kits, one for the house and one for the diaper bag.

It actually is useful

My son is three and I STILL use these nail clippers. They have always worked well for us. I too use an ear thermometer or a temporal artery thermometer, but I do use the thermometer to test the bath water and it works great for that. I have also used the aspirator and the brush. No, most of the items are not neccissary, but its a nice kit to have. And for the ladies who keep insisting everyone should get everything from the hospital, some of us don't deliver our babies in hospitals. We are not sick and neither are our babies and we don't feel the need to make birth a medical event. I have my babies naturally, at home with midwives and yes, buy my own aspirator and baby brush. I guess I had to sacrifice those "freebies"
