Sorry for this feedback

I really wanted to love these but frozen they are ROCK hard and can’t be moulded. In the fridge not cold enough to work!

Hi Sarah, Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback about our Character Cool Packs. I am so sorry to hear that you are not loving them. Usually, these are such a hit with little ones. Our products are designed to be used straight from the freezer or fridge, but we know everyone’s settings can vary, which can affect the texture. You might find it helps to store them in the door or top shelf of your freezer, as these spots tend to be slightly warmer and can prevent the packs from freezing too firmly. I am so sorry this has made it tricky to use them as intended. I really appreciate your feedback, and I've made a note of your experience to share with our development team for future formula and instruction reviews. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know. Warm regards, Nikki xx

Great concept, terrible zipper quality

Bought this during Black Friday sales last year (2023) and used it for the first time in March (2024) for a trip. And the zipper was already getting stuck and breaking. Not ideal when you are trying to get medicine out quickly with a sick bub. Have used it on 2 more trips since, and the problem is just getting worse to the point I’ve started to just rip open the zipper to get meds out. Great concept but poor quality zipper, which is a pretty fundamental component of the product.

Hi Hiruni, I am so incredibly sorry to hear that you've had trouble with the zipper on your Medication Bag. We made this product to help keep your little ones safe, and I'm so upset it wasn't able to open when you needed it! Especially when you had a sick bub. Thankfully this issue isn't something we have come across much and I have flagged this with our product development team. We will get a replacement out to you immediately this morning and add some extra goodies to make up for the inconvenience. Again, I am so sorry about this. Nikki x

Ok - but didn’t live up to my expectations

I purchased this product after attending a Tiny Hearts first aid workshop where we learned about snake bites and interacted with compression bandages that contained rectangle to square imagery on them to indicated correct compression. I expected these to be the same but they are just plain compression bandages which was disappointing.

Dangerous Product with concern

On three occasions now your thermometer has now come not even close to appropriately registering fever in my child. All three occasions, this thermometer has read 36.7 (both using the ear and forehead) or below when in fact my child has had a fever of 38.0 and above, even a fever of 39.8 at it’s peak and the thermometer still read below 36.7. The lense is not dirty and the product has been stored appropriately since purchase. Very unsafe. Would not recommend as a trained medical professional.

Inaccurate and Inconsistent Readings

Just like previous reviews, we found this thermometer to be unreliable and produce inaccurate readings constantly. We tried following the troubleshooting instructions but we had readings all the way from 36.2 to 38.1 degrees. Frustrated by the product, we ended up going to the pharmacy and opted for a cheaper model which is by far more reliable. Don't be fooled by the marketing campaigns on social media, this product is not reputable. Not worth the money or the stress.

Unreliable and inconsistent.

Purchased this in Feb and have used it a handful of times when my toddler has felt hot and has always read normal on the Feverbuddy. After double checking on an auxiliary thermometer with a difference of almost 2 degrees! After reading reviews it appears that many others have had the same issue. Really disappointing that it is unreliable. I hope it can be fixed as I am such a fan of tiny hearts!!

Reliable inaccurate

Honestly I wish I had sent this back soon after I’d bought it but I was too lazy, now every time I try and use it again I’m just reminded how annoyed I am at how much I spent on this. It is always AT LEAST a whole degree lower than my other (very reliable) Braun thermometer. Multiple times I have felt a very obvious temperature on my boy, Braun shows it as such and every single time this Tiny Hearts thermometer has shown 37 deg or lower. Doesn’t matter which mode I use it on or how often I have followed the instructions, it is never accurate and was a waste of money.

Hi Jessica, We're sorry to hear about your experience with the FeverBuddy Thermometer. Because we chose not to include probe covers with the thermometer, the lens can be easily affected by grime, which. can affect the accuracy of readings.

Love the bag, very stylish and so handy. However I didn’t get sent the full content of what is stated on the website to go in the bag. Have tried Insta msg and got advised to use a contact form and still haven’t heard back. Little bit disappointed.

Inaccurate

Really upset at this, saw all the positive reviews and Instagram posts, felt I had done a lot of reading on regarding thermometers but I keep getting inaccurate readings. It reads her temp 37.5 but at the doctors she had a fever of 39.5!! Very upset by this.

Inaccurate

I have tried everything recommended for trouble shooting. The fact is the thermometer does not give accurate readings. Over and over it beeps and shows red as the temp is low like 32.9. Then we go to the GP and there is a temp. Will have to find another one to buy in order to ensure I’m taking reliable temperatures for my son. Wanted to love it but just don’t. Definitely not value for money when it’s clearly faulty.

Inaccurate reading

I bought this after hearing and reading such great reviews and wanting to find a product that I can love and trust. Unfortunately I can not trust the product. On one occasions I used it and it showed normal temp, checked right before a dr appointment and again normal however the dr got a temp of 38+. Having total mum guilt that I had put all my trust into a product I did some research on the product again and I then found that tiny hearts had mention if inaccurate readings it is user error I then refreshed on the manual and how to used for my child’s current age to be prepared for the next time. Again now baby feeling hot checked normal temp used the old one we have and temp almost at 38. I feel that the thermometer is not user friendly and testing both ear and forehead give inaccurate readings.

Really wanted to love this product. Love the work of the tiny hearts team. Have used this thermometer a few times when my toddler clearly has a temp and the thermometer always has a lower reading. The ear probe has been more consistent than the forehead check, but toddlers and ear probes don’t always work.

Hi Kate, We are so sorry to hear that the thermometer has not been working well for you, this is certainly not the standard we expect from our products. Due to probe covers being a choking hazard for little ones, we chose not to include these with the thermometer, however this can affect the accuracy of the reading if the lens is not consistently cleaned after every use, which may be causing the inconsistencies in your readings. We have contacted you directly via email to try and troubleshoot this issue and look forward to rectifying the issue for you as quickly as possible. Kindest, The Tiny Hearts Team

Inaccurate readings

Loved this thermometer to start with, it worked great for the whole family. Unfortunately it has started to show consistently incorrect readings over time. The ear probe worked great with my daughter, but now no matter how it is positioned we can't get an accurate reading. We reverted to the forehead attachment which worked great to begin with, but unfortunately had the same outcome as the ear probe. Inaccurate readings no matter how we positioned it. We have cleaned the probe to make sure it can get a clear reading and changed the batteries but it's still not working. If there is a way to recalibrate that would possibly be helpful. Such a great product to start with but over time it has become unreliable and now stays in its case. Have gone back to using our old thermometer.

Hi Tegan, Thank you for your feedback! We will absolutely take this on board to further develop our product range as our customers mean everything ❤️ I'm sorry to hear that the Medication Bag is a little smaller than you had hoped, we designed the bag so you can take it with you on the go to safely store your medication. In the FAQ section of the product, we recommend 100ml size medication bottles, with additional space for syringes, inhalers, nasal sprays etc. Thank you for your continued support and feedback.

Not what I expected

The product quality is great, but the size was disappointing. I couldn’t fit our Panadol and nurofen bottles into the pockets and they don’t hold three bottles. I’ve had to leave the bottles loose in the bag which is frustrating to open. As much as I love the concept I do think it was a waste of money for me, especially with 3 kids. The product would be great in a larger size! Keep up the great work ladies

Hi Amy, I am so sad to hear the bag is smaller than you had hoped! We did design the medication bag so that you can take it with you on the go and securely and safely store your medication, so the size was intentional. In the FAQ section for the bag, we suggest the 100ml size bottles being best for the bag and when traveling around, although you can get 1 x 200ml in there plus other medication, syringes, inhalers, nasal sprays etc. I will definitely look at a larger option and I'll move the FAQ section so it's easier to find this info before buying to avoid disappointment, because that breaks my heart! Thanks for supporting us and for your feedback. Nik x

Inaccurate Readings

I wanted to love this thermometer, it sounded so great and so foolproof/easy to use but unfortunately I haven’t been able to rely on its accuracy. It gives different readings for each ear & for the forehead & is out I think up to .5 of a degree. We have switched back to our old one which provides a more consistent result.

Hi Sarah, Firstly, thank you for supporting Tiny Hearts, I am sad that this product hasn't met your expectations but I am positive we can assist you with some tips on how to position to get reliable readings; I have sent you an email. Just also wanted to note it's normal to get different readings in each ear, in order to track a temperature correctly you want to use the same ear each reading, rather than switching ears. Our thermometers are tested to be within +0.3 degrees celsius. The way infrared technology works is the sensor will collect infrared energy emitted by the ear drum, which is why the position of the probe is imperative. Depending on age, you might pull the ear straight back or back and upwards at the same time. We look forward to hearing from you so we can help you achieve accurate and reliable readings each time. Kindest, Tiny Hearts

Great Bag, Disappointing First Aid Bundle

The medication bag is fantastic & exactly as described but the first aid bundle is incredibly disappointing as most items I received are close to their expiry so I feel like this offer is just a means to clear our old stock.

Inaccurate readings

I have a couple thermometers but was so excited to get the fever buddy. Unfortunately the fever buddy seems to be inaccurate by approximately .3 - .4 degrees compared to my other thermometers. I love Tiny Hearts and believe they truly tried with this product, so perhaps mine is just slightly out of range? Could someone please contact me to discuss? Thank you :)

Our thermometers are tested to be within +0.3 degrees celsius. I cannot comment on other brands and what their testing and accuracy standards are, but knowing our standards I'm sure we can help you feel confident in the readings you get from the Feverbuddy. Most of the time, slight changes to the direction of the probe will help. We look forward to hearing from you to discuss more. Kindest, Tiny Hearts

Not reliable, very inconsistent

I was super excited about this thermometer as it sounded great, and I’m a big fan of tiny hearts. Unfortunately the temp readings are not consistent at all (different temps on every read, off by way more that the 0.3 difference claimed in the manual - bub had a temp of 38.7 felt really hot, used this thermometer in both ears and forehead and got different readings multiple times and usually quite a bit lower than he actually was - so it’s not reliable enough for us to be able to use, we’ve reverted back to our old one.

These are ok, Everything else is GREAT!

i found these to be a rather plasticy bandaid, and not my favourite. I purchased a full first aid kit and i LOVE everything else, including the little metal container it comes in! But i'd chose another bandaid over these next time to be honest. Print is cute, and they are good for little boo boos, but aren't a heavy duty robust band aid that will holdup to much wear and tear or water etc. The entire first aid kid is wonderful though!

Expensive with other cheaper options widely available

I find this is very expensive when other companies like St John provide comparable first aid kits for babies/toddlers. When it comes to child safety I don't think products should be made this unaffordable.

Great big kit, maybe missing some elements

Love the size of the kit, it’s chokkers full of many different sizes and types of dressings/bandages. Only thing for me that would have improved the kit would be for it to have come with some saline/irrigation for grazes and eye bathing.. also some type of insect bite ointment or spray.. but I guess these are things you expect to have in your cupboard at home? Just a couple bits I had to go out and buy to feel like we had a complete kit. Also as silly as it sounds the writing on the packaging that describes what is inside is in a messy/scribbled font.. not so handy when searching for something in a hurry in my opinion..!

Family first aid kit

The kit looks great, stocked with plenty of useful items. Fortunately I haven't needed to use it since ordering and paying for it, as it took a VERY long time -approx 2 months - to be sent, and then of course even longer to arrive. I would've given a higher rating, if it hadn't have taken so long. We were sent one email notification, and I was surprised at the time frames, given I would categorise a good 1st aid kit as a necessity, not a 'nice-to-have'. I did the online course too, which was wonderful, so I was a little surprised.
