Thermal-Aid Zoo Animals - Happy The Hippo - Heatable Therapeutic Stuffed Animals for Kids - Hot & Cold Therapy - Ice Pack & Heating Pack

When I was a kid, we had a handmade "Boo Boo Bunny" for bumps and fevers. Last Thanksgiving, my mom brought it out for my 4-year-old great niece, who wasn’t feeling well. She absolutely loved it and wanted to take it home—but since the bunny is a sentimental piece from our childhood, my mom (who’s usually very generous) just couldn’t part with it.So I jumped on Amazon—because you can find anything these days—and started searching for a replacement. She wanted something blue, and we found this Thermal-Aid Blue Bear. It was on backorder at the time, but she was happy to wait. The sweetest part? She’s usually pretty shy around me, but she climbed right into my lap to help pick it out.I ordered it on February 11, 2024. Around Christmas her dad told me that not only has it come in handy when she’s sick, but she loves it—carries it around everywhere and sleeps with it every night. It’s clearly durable and comforting, which is exactly what we hoped for.Bonus: Since I don’t see her often, her dad will remind her that I got her the bear—but once he did, her shyness disappeared. She sat with me and talked all about the bear and their adventures.So, if you’re looking for a modern, reliable version of an old-school comfort item, this one is a total winner.

This product was really good for little children. From about 1 to 5 years old. I like the weight of it that it's heavy. It makes them feel comfortable and secure when they're having it. And the fact that it heats up and cools. Well you can heat it up is even better.

When it makes the wife happy it's a winner. Well stitched, looks good and stays warm. Plus she says the little fella is cute.

Our 4 year old granddaughter has been getting upper repertoire infections lately and the versatile and cozy stuffy makes her happy and helps when we need hot or cold. She couldn't wait for her to arrive and is now her new bff. Good purchase and perfect size

This is such a cute item when you look at it online... And then you get it and open it and it's even cuter, and it has a nice weight to it and it's simply perfect. I love this so much.

I gave this to a family with a 4yr old. The child loves it. Works as intended. The size seems to be good. Fits in the microwave easily and instructions included are easy to follow. After heating, it does have a weird smell but I think most microwave heating pads products do. Great idea for the little ones.

This has been a great comfort for my grandson. He snuggles up with it and enjoys holding it when he goes to sleep. It is. Nice comfort even if not using it warm or cold.

We have tried a lot of heating cooling packs over the years, but we really like this one. It's well made and cute, which when you have a sick kid actually goes a long way. We got this when my daughter was having ear aches since it seemed a little more cuddly that a regular hot pack. My daughter fell in love with it and now she warms it up just to cuddle when she goes to bed.The material inside is really unusual, most heat packs are way too hot to start and then cool off really quickly. 45 seconds in the microwave and this one is exactly the right temperature, but the nice thing is that it holds that level of warmth pretty constantly for over a half an hour, and then remains slightly warm for another 15 minutes or so. (Yes I timed it, I am a nerd). So it's a really comfortable temperature for longer than most.I was a little worried about the all cotton covering and whether it would get stained easily. We found out pretty quickly when my daughter put it in the microwave with a little spilled pizza sauce. I hand washed it in the sink with a little soap and it came right out. I'll add pictures of that.Overall solid product, definitely recommend for kids who need a heating pack. I have not yet tried it as a cold pack.
