By our senior writer: Kasper Jørgensen
Today is a exciting day for me because I get to review the The First Years American Red! I am long time baby products writer, blogger and reviewer Kasper Jørgensen and you might know me from some of my other reviews. I've written for example about the Philips Avent Anti-Colic Baby Bottle with AirFree Vent Beginner Gift Set Clear, SCD394/02 by Philips Avent and the Bugaboo Changing Bag - Black - Convenient and Stylish Diaper Bag to Carry All of Your Essentials - Easily attaches to Bee5, Cameleon3, Fox and Buffalo Strollers, Black by Bugaboo or maybe you have heard of the editorial piece I did on the Clearblue Pregnancy Test Combo Pack, 4ct - Digital with Smart Countdown & Rapid Detection - Value Pack. Anyway, I have quite a lot experience trying out baby products and recommending only the best to my readers. Therefore I was really happy when this product came on my path.
Introduction
Since 2012 I've been watching The First Years1 so I am really excited that I am finally able to try the The First Years American Red and writing this review for you guys. While searching for the best deal on this product I stumbled across this offer on Amazon (You can buy it here.) and I immediately jumped on the opportunity. So I got my creditcard out and placed my order. With the standard same day delivery and free shipping it really is a bargain compared to the competitor brands and retailers. Later that day when my The First Years American Red was delivered I opened it and was overjoyed with what I saw. I might sound a bit biassed being a longtime The First Years customer but this product really steps it up quite a bit, which is immediately noticeable when opening the package. Now that I've been testing it for a couple of days now I feel like I know enough about the The First Years American Red to write this review. So keep reading and I will show you why I am so enthusiastic about my brand new The First Years American Red.
Summary
When reviewing baby products I usually begin with a summary, then a compact list of the pros and cons of the product after which you can find the rating and my conclusion and resources. So as you can read in the intro, I am really amazed by the The First Years American Red. The First Years has really set a new standard with this one. The durability is fantastic, and frankly; it just looks super. I know looks aren't deciding with baby products, but it just needs to be addressed. I mean the price Amazon offered was and is by far the lowest so make sure to check them out when you are going to get one. As I have tested some alternatives before, I will say none come close to the The First Years American Red. Just the flexibility alone crumbles all competition and the quality also seems to be top notch. The famous customer service of The First Years2 is always very happy to help if you have any kind of questions so if you ever run in to something with their products they'll be really supple with helping you find a solution. So just to recap; only positive things to say about the The First Years American Red Cross Baby Healthcare Kit. Do read till the end tho because you there is a tiny surprise!
Pros
The list of pros of this The First Years American Red is going to be much longer than the conslist and the description3 this site gives already lists them quite well. To quote just an excerpt: "When baby’s not feeling well, the last thing you want to do is hunt around for all the right tools. Keep things simple and organized with this 7-piece healthcare kit from the American Red Cross and The First Years. It includes a nasal aspirator, digital thermometer with case, medicine dropper with cap, medicine spoon with cap, and nail clipper-all zipped in a deluxe travel/storage bag that’s ready to go as soon as you need it.".

- The First Years is leading the market when it comes to baby products.
- The durability is great, so it's good for the environment.
- No other product coming out in this price range will be comparable for the coming months if not years.
Cons
When thinking of cons for the The First Years American Red I had a way harder time. Sure, lower prices is always better4 and do you really need this premium quality? That's for yourself to decide. Here is the list:
- Maybe the way the product looks is not to your taste.
- It's a premium product so maybe you don't need this level of quality.
- The The First Years American Red is so popular that soon everybody will have one.
Rating
Considering the points above I can only conclude that the The First Years American Red deserves 5 stars, 10/10 an A+++ and just overall praise5. I've read reviews by people saying that it's a little too perfect and that it doesn't leave room for the competition, but I don't really mind a nice monopoly. And The First Years sure is heading to become one with this product!
★★★★★
