All children will require a little medical attention at some stage.
While some medical items, such as a medicine dropper, simply make it easier to care for a sick child, others, such as a first-aid kit, are absolutely essential and should be kept in the home as well as in the car.

Talking Forehead Thermometer (NEW) |
|
Sooner or later every child gets sick and has a fever. When this occurs, it can be very helpful to know exactly what the child’s temperature is. You want to know whether there is only a slight fever or if the fever is possibly at a dangerous level that requires urgent medical attention. Over time, you then also want to know if the fever is going up or down with treatment. But taking an accurate temperature has long been a problem for parents. Until now. Digital thermometers that parents use to take the temperature under the arm have always been popular, but their biggest disadvantage is that they take so long to register a reading. It is not always easy to hold a thermometer under a child’s arm for a minute or two when the child is sick, distressed and possibly wriggling around. Ear thermometers overcome this problem by recording the temperature within a couple of seconds. But they have one major disadvantage. Many parents report huge difficulty using them, especially on infants. Parents often state that if they take the temperature more than once, they get very different results each time. This is usually because it can be difficult to get the probe deep enough into the child’s ear to record an accurate reading. As such, many parents find ear thermometers inaccurate and unreliable. But technology seems to have solved the age-old problem of temperature measurement with the development of the new Forehead Thermometer that uses advanced infrared technology. This amazing product measures the temperature on the child’s forehead and gives an accurate and reliable temperature reading within 2 seconds. The Forehead Thermometer has the following major advantages over other thermometers: - It is much easier to use than all other thermometers. - It is much gentler on the child than oral, rectal, underarm and in-ear thermometers because it is truly non-invasive. - It is exceptionally accurate and reliable (as confirmed in clinical trials when compared with rectal thermometers (long considered the most accurate of all thermometers) and temperature sensors inserted in the heart! - It is the most hygenic of all thermometers. - The temperature of the patient is not only displayed on the screen but is also spoken out loud. - Best of all, it can be reliably used on newborns, infants, children or adults. And when you consider all of these significant advantages, in conjunction with the fact that it costs a great deal less than ear thermometers, the Forehead Thermometer is clearly an essential item for any family, especially one with small children!

Family first-aid kit |
|
Every home and every car should carry a first-aid kit. But which one?
The simple truth is that most family-size first-aid kits are expensive and usually contain a very small range of items, many of which are of a very poor quality.
For example, the standard bandages found in most first-aid kits simply do not stop bleeding! In order to ensure that your first-aid kit contains the proper wound dressings that are easy to use and that help stop bleeding very effectively, you would normally have to purchase a much larger industrial-type first-aid kit, which would be very expensive.
Many first-aid kits contain products that are simply impractical, such as antiseptic that is very strong and which must be diluted before use. In addition, most first-aid kits lack products that can be of very real benefit in an emergency, such as instant ice packs which are made cold simply by punching them and which can be used for any type of injury involving pain or swelling, such as bites, stings, bumps, nose bleeds, fingers caught in doors etc.
The Family first-aid kit was designed by a former ambulance officer after very extensive research into the Australian first-aid market. The kit contains a wide range of top-quality items that can not only help reduce pain and suffering in a variety of ways, but that can even help save lives! Products include the following:
* 4 wound dressings (for bleeding) * 5 elastic crepe bandages (10cm) * 25 Band-aids * 1 emergency blanket * 2 instant cold packs * 2 eye pads * 1 pair of metal forceps * 3 packets of gauze swabs * 2 pairs of gloves * 6 Medi-prep antiseptic wipes * 1 tube Tea-tree oil antiseptic cream * 4 small non-adherent dressings * 4 large non-adherent dressings * 1 roll of hypo-allergenic tape * 1 Resus device * 4 15ml bottles of saline * 1 pair of scissors * 12 safety pins * 5 splinter probes * 3 Rapaid Itch-relief sachets * 2 triangular bandages The Family first-aid kit is supplied in a compact nylon bag, making it easy to store at home or in the vehicle.
First-aid kits that are similar in content to the Family first-aid kit tend to sell for at least $105.00 and more, so at only $77.00 the Family first-aid kit is great value for any family.
