The RealCare Baby 3 has given my students the opportunity to get a quick but realistic snapshot of what life as a teen parent would be like. There are 15 different programs that can be set, each modeled after a real baby and the journal that its parents kept about its care. There are several ways to customize care to be sensitive to individual student needs while still creating a meaningful learning opportunity. Programming is a snap, and grades are quick and easy to access. I especially like the printed grade report that each student receives after care – the details on it are extraordinary. The technical support staff is incredibly helpful, too. My students look forward to this project each year, and it never disappoints! So many wonderful lessons have been learned in my classroom thanks to the RealCare Baby 3 program!

I have used RealCare 2 plus infant simulators for some years now. Last spring, I was able to trade them in and get even more, along with other materials. I love the new software and tracking improvements.

I appreciate the value of the Real Care Infant simulators. My students gain valuable experience with the simulators and have enjoyed the opportunity the simulators provide. Our recent purchase of 2 additional babies has increased the time each student has with the baby. Previous purchases included both a car seat and base that is secured into the vehicle but with our recent purchase we only received the car seat, no base. The only thing I would have appreciated was being told that the base would not be included. Excellent educational program for the value.

Thank you for the RealCare Baby Program review. Recently we did change the type of car seats we offer and they no longer have a base as they are for educational purposes only. Your feedback is appreciated and will be shared with our team for future communications.
