Serena & Jewel Kit for Kids 26 Accessories Pretend Medical Station Set Mobile Cart with Lights, Thermometer, Stethoscope, Role Play Educational Toys for Boys & Girl Kids

This medical station needs a bit of set-up. It comes in pieces and is easy enough to put together. It has stickers which need to be applied yourself. Once assembled, it looks just like the photos.It is quite small, so would only be suitable for younger children.My daughter has been using this pretend medical station every day since I put it together. She loves to play with all of the tools and there is a lot to do, so she doesn’t get bored with it.Like most children, she doesn’t like going to the doctor, but this trolley has had the unexpected effect of making her more willing to go. She can recognise the same tools she has and is excited to talk about them. Of course, she still hates getting injections and getting treatment, but she’s much happier to sit in the doctor’s office than she was before.The main issue is that this is an item you can buy elsewhere for half the price. It’s not a unique toy for this brand, it's generic. So many shop around to get better value.

Whether or not there is a like for like that is priced higher, I consider this very expensive for what it is, especially considering that all these types of toys are made using cheap plastic that won't withstand much hard play. I would consider this worth half the price it is advertised for.Also, be warned, the set I received did not have the same accessories as in the pictures above. It did come with 26 pieces, but they are nowhere near the same calibre as the ones in the advertisement. The stethoscope does not light up, the thermometer is physically different and just has a dial that turns (which is fine, but not as advertised) and the blood pressure monitor is replaced by a pair of glasses.Moreover, there was a front wheel missing and I simply cannot fit the door on its hinges, no matter what I try.Some of the pieces are far too small (go through a toilet roll which is the measure) for a child less than 3 years old, so either keep the entire set back or, as I have done, keep only those small items back. As for whether or not the main kit will last until my toddler is old enough to handle the smaller items, I have no idea.Putting the thing together was not easy. The first picture on the box shows the door with the hinges on, but those hinges are actually in one of the plastic bags and this is not made clear at all. Also, the extra little 'pole' that holds two trays is in two halves in the plastic bags again and once again this is by no means clear.Everything clicks into place, so be careful to put pieces together properly because otherwise you'll have one hell of time trying to get them apart again.It's quite a small trolley when finally put together, which again makes me wonder why it's so expensive. My 1 year old is almost as tall as the tall pole, so this will be a very small toy for a 3 year old.On the positive side, it is quite a complete set with interchangeable cards which will stimulate play and as it can be wheeled around, I think a child will enjoy taking it from one part of a home to another, pretending to be a doctor on a house call.The cavity is large enough to hold more than the accompanying accessories, so other things can be added.
