Does this work well for toddlers or small children?

I do not have young children. I only know it works well with adults. You might want to call a baby doctor and ask about using the "finger pulse oximeter" with babies and toddlers.

Yes it does. I tried it out on my grandson he has very small fingers and it worked great.

I have browsed the User Manual and could not find anything about using this with children. I average around 110 lbs and have small hands, it works great for me. I measured the opening where you place your finger when it's closed and it's almost 3/8 of an inch. Then I took a simple Bic ink pen without all the fancy finger pads for grip, the pen slips in and out without opening the Oximeter. So children that have fingers smaller than a Bic pen won't work. I would have to say that it wouldn't work for a toddler since their fingers are so tiny. Hope this helps. Debbie

This size may not be ideal for small children. It may be too big and not give an accurate reading. This device seems to be adult size. There are other pulse oximeter geared towards children. Hope this helps.

It probably won't work on their finger but often works on their big toe. Just make sure the toe covers the red dot.

I have not tried it, but I doubt it very much because it is quite loose on my fingers, which aren't very large for an adult, but much larger than a small child's.

Yes. I have 3 of these. They r bulky but very light. My 2.5 year old can easily do it.

Most reviewers bought it for their 2 year olds (or younger). I bought it for my child's 4th birthday. Personally, I think it works best for 3-4 year olds.

Hello...I have 3 kids ages 3, 7 and 9 and:- In my opinion it's loud enough for kids play (maybe not for some professional usage)- The unit is about the size of an iPad but much lighter- Yes, I think that a 2 year old can make it work but will need an older person to download music to it via a computer if you want more than just the 2 default songsHope this helps :)

I don't see why it's not for toddler. I plan on using it until he moves into a twin bed! :)

Nope.... Its not that impressive...it's ok for a little one but not a serious 5 year old ;)

yes! perfect for one and two year olds. Got it for my 14 mo grandson just before he flew on his first flight, and it's still one of his favorite toys.

It is definitely Better for the younger toddlers. It is small so the trip down is short. If the child is too tall, they practically reach the floor before they even go down. I have one and it is very sturdy and could easily support an older child, though. My son is three and still uses it, but he is autistic and has very poor balance and coordination so we needed a slide that was smaller for him. My eight-year-old thinks it's fun though LOL

Yes, the small one is small enough for a 2 year old. The larger head is used for my 8 yr old granddaughter. I think a toddler would be a little put off by the vibration of the toothbrush, it might scare them, but they could get used to it.

We bought it for our 2 year old and she is still a little but too small an uncoordinated to use it well. She is very small for her age. I think it will be perfect for her at 3-5 years old. It is adjustable so it should work for several years.

Yes my son is two and a half years old and operated it just fine. The only bad thing is the toy only worked for five minutes and then it just stopped working.

I use it on my 2 1/2 now 3 year old and it works great!! I know it says it's for older but I think it works great for my little guy!

I would say 2 and 3 year olds although small 4 year olds may be able to use it also. We use it for our 2 year old and she loves it.

It would be great for 4 and 5 but might start to get small for them after about age 6. My daughter is 3 and it's great!

I think it might be small for a two year old. We used it more from 6-18 months.

I wouldn't recommend it for a 2-3 year old, there are a lot of very small pieces. It's definitely better for older children. The durability is good. I had one when I was a little girl and 30+ years later it's still in my dad's basement. I purchased one for my 5-year old last Christmas. It's probably a better fit for children around 4-5 at least.

Works great with one kid. We have a 4 year old and an 18 month old (both in 95th percentile for height), and works well with either or both. Has extra strap in middle for when it's only one child.
