TRIXESRed Stethoscope for Fancy Dress Doctor Costume Accessory and Educational Prop with Diaphragm and Bell Features - One Size - Colour Red & Silver

Good for the price

Toddler loves this since you can listen to a heartbeat for real. Gifted as part of roleplay set.

Super cute and great quality for kids. My daughter loves that it's like a proper doctor one rather than the plastic kids one. Only issue is that you can't really hear an adults heartbeat from it but she can hear hers and her friends which she was amazed with. Fabulous price for the excitement on her face.

Nice prop. Actually works too

Bought this as a prop it's intended use and I can say it's not bad, a little tight on an adult head but looks the part and it also works as a basic stethascope too.On the review bit no idea for Thickness & Sheerness they are random so not rated.

My daughter loves pretending to be a doctor so we bought her her own 'real' stethoscope. The materials are really sturdy, the only issue is that it's a little bit long for her, but she doesn't mind.

This is a curiously marketed cheap stethoscope - marketed on the product line above as 'for nurses, vets, students, home health care' and 'not suitable for use for under 14 year olds' - yet if you click the expanded product details you will see it is marketed......as a toy. And moreover, a toy not suitable for under 10 year olds!Trying to be all things to everyone, rather, and not quite succeedingIt certainly is not one that a professional might choose to use, it does look a bit cheap and 'pretend healthcare professional' Toy is probably about right really.The main problem with it (if you accept it is really for stage prop, toy, or play around at hearing heart sounds, but not serious medical use) is that the spring to ensure the ear-pieces do sit in the ears, not to mention the hard quality of the earpieces themselves, is sooo painful. You really wouldn't want to have these IN your ear for any length of time. That in itself precludes MOST use, even fun useI bought these as I have been instructed by my vet that I need to get the relaxed heart rate of a dear cat with a heart problem, to fine tune his medication. Cat not relaxed enough on visit to vet to get this!I'm sure these WILL be good enough to wear for 15 seconds, stop watch in hand, multiply by 4. JUST bearable for 15 seconds of wear.My major problem now is behavioural - cats with a Pavlovian reflex - IF they are relaxed, therefore pulse nice and slow, my very presence and touch induces purring. The veritable roar of an amplified purr precludes any possibility of picking up the heartbeat - even at the femoral artery the reverberation of that purr dominates.And I signally failed to get the heartbeat by palpation alone, as, once again the thoracic thrum of purr was like a vibrating roaddrill under my handsBack to the drawing board. Perhaps I can carefully slide the steth into position on a deeply sleeping cat without inducing purring-in-sleep!

Has helped get the dog to the vets by getting the dog used to it.
