This life-size flexible female pelvis model with baby is a practical educational tool for doulas, midwives, and other birth workers. The flexibility and joint movement make it useful for demonstrating childbirth mechanics, and the elastic fabric cords help illustrate anatomical motion.However, as someone who purchased this for unconventional reasons (creepy home decor), I was a bit disappointed. The pelvis is stark white and obviously plastic, which takes away from its visual appeal with its lack of realism. The baby model is even less impressive. Its proportions are comically odd, and the quality is noticeably lower than the pelvis itself. It looks more like a rough attempt at anatomy rather than a correct representation.For those in the childbirth industry, this seems like a helpful teaching aid. But if you're a weirdo like me and looking for something artistic, macabre, or display-worthy, you might want to keep searching.

I am training to become a full-spectrum doula, including childbirth education, and I thought this was a really cool way to show pelvic anatomy to people who had maybe never seen anything like it before. We take for granted how little people know about their own bodies, and visual aids like these are invaluable.This life-size flexible model is cool because it can be used on the stand, or it can be taken off the stand and you can manipulate the bones to show how laboring in different positions can affect the rotation of the sacrum (tailbone) in relation to the pelvic outlet, where the baby's head must pass through. The model is solid quality and doesn't feel cheap. It uses very strong elastic to hold it together but also allows it to be moved to demonstrate how the joints move in relation to one another. When on the stand, the elastic isn't able to really hold it "at attention," aka super tight together, but that isn't any issue.I appreciate the baby it comes with, which is a great size. At first, I was sort of upset that its head was a bit deformed (it's kind of flat/pushed in on one side), but honestly, now I prefer it like that because I can very easily demonstrate how the baby turns once its head emerges from the birth canal (rotating from side to posterior). I love that the demo baby has a soft spot where you can point out how the skull plates can shift over one another to help the baby's head be more flexible to allow it easier passage. It's a great visual, without being TOO visual, if you know what I mean.Overall, this is worth the price for childbirth education and even any anatomy class. My kids (ages 2 and 4) have had so much fun being my testers and helping me "birth" the baby through the pelvis. They really get it, and think it is the coolest thing in the world! 10/10 would recommend, and buy again.

I wanted to use this to teach pregnant people about birth and baby's positions in the pelvis and the pelvis is good. The problem is the baby. You can't flex the head and the landmarks on the head aren't close to anatomically correct. I haven't returned it, but I might. If I knew how baby is I might have just bought a pelvis and found a doll on Amazon or at Walmart.

My family thinks I'm nuts. This is my third female pelvis model (I also have one male pelvis) and I had a blast teaching my husband and kids all about childbirth before I take it to my classroom. I teach Anatomy/Physiology and in my district I actually teach the health class instead of the gym teacher (which makes so much more sense!) I'm always looking for great anatomy models and have a special fondness for the pelvis. Most people just have that standard picture in their head that we all saw in a textbook that looks kind of floral...but students can't relate that to their bodies at all. I also have a pelvis with really detailed soft tissue anatomy and one for demonstrating pap smears (to make it less scary and because the boys need to know what's happening but it's unlikely anyone is going to tell them except me). But this is absolutely my favorite, I was just giddy with excitement when I opened it up, lol. I was in a medical field before I switched to teaching (better work life balance) and have had the honor of delivering a couple hundred babies. This baby and pelvis are great for demonstrating. I like the baby a lot better than the standard floppy doll...they are floppy after they are born but something a little more streamlined like this is better for demonstrating what actually happens. The neck bends really nicely but doesn't turn. The shoulders squish so I was able to demonstrate dystocia. My favorite part is how well it shows the importance of babies facing the right direction. My first child was sunny side up and spent 30 hours smashing into my tailbone until he broke it. I couldn't lean back for a year! I showed my kids how relatively easy it was for a baby to slip through the correct way and how first child got stuck. But then my second child wanted to try it so I had her try sunny side up first and then flip the baby over and the look on her face when the baby slipped right through!There are some minimal issues. No doll is perfect for this, unfortunately. But as someone who has delivered a number of babies, this one is much better for demonstrating than a cloth doll. You can loosen the joints (which I pointed out to the kids is exactly what happens and why I can't fit in any of my pre-pregnancy shoes). The metal screw to hold in the spine can catch the baby if you try to push it through backwards. I'm going to have my husband cut off the extra length but really, why are you pushing the baby through backwards anyway?Anyhow, I had a lovely evening with this model, demonstrating each child's birth (unwrapping the cord from around a neck twice, a little spiral twist that freed up a shoulder but gave me a tear). My kids were enthralled and I can't wait to use it with my students!

I got this set to use to teach feral presentation to nursing students. The pelvis is a five star product with adjustable joints. It looks anatomically correct for the most part. It bends and is flexible.This baby mannequin however is junk. The baby is not flexible. The cord looks odd and not what you would see on a true baby. There are no fontanels to palpate. I think a baby doll would be a better representation than this stiff baby mannequin. I would give the quality of this baby only three stars.

I am a birth and postpartum doula. I use this as a visual education tool. It is perfect!!!
