Sonicare For Kids Design a Pet Edition Power toothbrush HX3601/01

We use a kids electric toothbrush because I use an electric toothbrush and that’s what he wanted. [It’s kid sized with replaceable heads](https://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/HX3601_01/philips-sonicare-for-kids-power-toothbrush)and he doesn’t turn on the buzzing but he likes that it has the option of that makes sense, We used an assortment of little toothbrushes (baby grow with me toothbrush sets) when we first started trying to brush and honestly they all pretty much worked the same. I liked the one [Nuby had which is a 4 stage set which was nice for the non-toothbrush toothbrushes](https://a.co/d/04HGznzI) but I wasn’t impressed with the quality of the one with actual bristles so I would plan to upgrade around that point.

We have a kids Phillips one she calls the tickle toothbrush 🤣 seems less “powerful” then our adult ones

They are reliable brands with easy to find replacement heads.  I like the Sonicare better for it's cleaning action, but in my experience Oral B lasts longer, and is superior for small mouths(although a children's Sonicare would also be a good fit for small mouths). My recommendation to every patient who is looking to go electric is to buy the cheapest model that still offers a pressure sensor.(The only caveat being that if you're a big gadget person and having a brush you can say connect to your phone gets you more excited about brushing by all means get the bells and whistles) There are A TON of competitors. Some good, some horrible. I loathe subscription services so any brand offering brush heads through a subscription basis are a big no for me(I'm looking at you, Burst)

I went from the most expensive one to the cheap kids model and noticed no difference in performance.

I had the expensive one and eventually replaced it with the kids model since I didn’t feel like spending the money on the higher model and the kids version was on sale with a rebate to boot. The kids version is just as good and has actually lasted longer for me.

I bought the one for children and it was made in a 3rd world country (USA)...

I will not deinfluence you. Mas okay ang Philips Electric Toothbrush Sonic series. There are some published studies na better ang mentioned brand na yun. Dentists also agree when it comes sa clean function and bristles shape.
