LifeVac - Choking Rescue Device Home Kit for Adult and Children First Aid Kit, Portable Choking Rescue Device, First Aid Choking Device

A precious child at my grandchildren’s school chocked on a bouncy ball. After his death, this product was on our local news. I purchased one and keep the set in our car so it is always nearby. It is well made and has a proven record.

Luckily we haven’t had to use this for real, but I will update if we ever do have to use this. But I wanted to review based on the practices we did with this. It was hard to scrunch together before pulling back. It wasn’t as easy as other products like this. My hands didn’t feel as comfortable with using this one. But will update if we ever have to use it outside of practices.

The score is based on the device not the service. I purchased four of these devices ( sent to 4 addresses) for our house and for the families of three of our kids with small children. All four kits came without the practice mask that is listed on Amazon. I contacted the supplier (LifeVac) customer service to have them send the missing masks and they were not interested in helping. LifeVac sent me back to Amazon. Amazon customer service (Jessie) was very helpful and sorted everything out. This is a good reason to order from Amazon rather than direct from the manufacturer.

This device made baby led weaning much more comfortable for my partner and I!

Easy to use, worth getting for sure. Comes with easy instructions

I can’t speak to real life function but great to keep around and looks and feels high quality

I have not been able to use it, which is a good thing but the instructions and use is very straightforward. If I do at some point the instructions are very clear and with some prior preparation and practice on how to use it, it’ll be a life saver.

What I dislike is that this model was much higher in price. There were other manufacturers that had basically the same product and a much cheaper price. I bought the cheaper price one too and they were the same as this expensive one.

Well, I cant personally say whether it works or not and I hope I dont have to find out, but the operating principle and design are good. I bought two of these for our church just in case we have a choking event. The company seems to be very responsive and helpful. Their online training video is good but in the opinion of an old EMT-I there could be a few improvements. From looking at the available wall cabinet on line it does not appear to be very substantial nor readily visible. I would like to see some improvement there. I am pleased with this product even though I hope we never have to use it.

Wish this was a bit cheaper so everyone could afford one. That being said it appears to be made well and I hope we never have to use it.
