 Pretty good...Dec 08, 2011
By A. Marshall
When I was trying to decide which doctor's kit to buy, I was torn between this one and the Fisher Price medical kit (Fisher-Price Medical Kit.) In the end, I actually bought both, and this is why:
The Melissa & Doug kit has the adorable jacket and is a good price for all it contains, but it does not have a blood pressure cuff, which is something my son was really interested in. I was also worried about the stethoscope after reading the other reviews. After both kits arrived, I was very glad I had both!
The Melissa & Doug stethoscope is, indeed, not very usable. It needed a very specific battery, which I found in the jewelry department of our local major retail store that starts with a "W" and ends with "Mart." Then, after putting the battery in, the stethoscope makes this weird, loud coughing sound when you push the button. It's kind of disturbing, actually. My kids (ages 3 and 1), just stared at it for a while, and then my older child said, "Oh, it's sick!" The stethoscope also doesn't stay in my son's ears, so he just wears it around his neck.
There is no storage for all the pieces, either, other than sticking them in all the pockets of the coat. They fall out easily if the doctor's coat is moved, so we ended that pretty quickly. Since I had the Fisher Price kit, we just combined all the medical equipment into that storage bag, and it fit nicely.
The thermometer that comes with the M&D kit is also strange and doesn't resemble any thermometer my kids are used to seeing. I'm very glad I have both kits so the kids can have the best of both worlds! It also makes it easier to have two syringes, since that seems to be the favorite tool, and both kids can have one!
Admittedly, the surgical mask is adorable when I put it on the kids, but they won't wear it for more than a few seconds. Oh, and my son wears a size 5T shirt, and the doctor's coat is a little baggy on him, which I think is great since he can use the coat for even longer!

 great role play!Aug 20, 2010
By teacher-mom
I bought this for my niece's third birthday. It was her favorite gift! She plays "doctor" with her dolls, stuffed animals, and even her parents. As a teacher, I know how important role play is for children her age and when I saw this package which includes the doctor coat-I knew that she would love this more than a simple bag of "doctor" tools. Melissa and Doug products are wonderful too!

 A halloween costume that is fun to play with for the whole yearSep 24, 2009
By E. Hayden
My 4.5 year old wanted to be a doctor for Halloween. We got this 6 weeks beforehand and he's already played with it a lot. It has fun tools and seems a lot more durable than many dress up items.

Good QualityJan 10, 2011
By J. Haen
"my thoughts"
This is the best doctor dress up I have ever seen. The tools are way better than when I was a kid. The only thing is they need strange batteries.

Melissa and Doug Doctor kitJan 01, 2011
By Nurse
Unfortunately the stethescope is useless because it can't fit in a child's ear or an adult. What fun is this piece of equipment if you can't pretend to listen to your heart? So why buy the battery for this when the ear piece is so big it is non functional. I also feel that the first battery should be included in a specialty toy like this.
