Dd loves playing Doctors but most of the doctor's sets I've seen have been really cheap plastic crap. Are there any nice sets on the market?

Toys R Us used to do a nice one, plastic but quite hard wearing, and worth buying for the epic doctors glasses alone!

DS2 loves his plastic crp one TBH. It's made by Klein (?) but was bought by ILs in Spain. Fairly sturdy plastic crp

The ELC one is very disappointing. Steer clear!

Agree about the ELC one, really poor.

Can you make up one of your own? I was just thinking, you could cut up real bandages to make them dolly sized, use those droppers you get with baby medicine for a syringe, what else? Do you dye your hair? With the hair dye I use, you get a little plastic pot with the rubber gloves in which would make a marvellous pill box.

We used to have a properish stethoscope, with a metal thingy on the end and rubber tubes - not part of a set - oooh, look here (scroll down) it's £5.99 but it works really well (if you get one don't let anybody tap the listening bit when you have the earpieces in, it hurts!)

I bought dd a real stethescope from ebay. It was only 5/6quid and it's brill - she's amazed by it and it helps when we go to the doctors now because when he wants to listen to her chest she knows exactly what he doing!

We've got a Klein one too, although it was from somewhere in the UK (Tridias, maybe?) Plastic but sturdy, still going strong after 7 years

We used to have 2 FP ones, I got rid - never occurred to me they'd stop doing them!
