Beurer Germany Patrick Star Sonic Toothbrush | 2 Heads Ages 3-6 | Pink
Two minutes of brushing can feel like the longest two minutes of the day when a small child would rather be anywhere else. The Beurer SC 11 gives a Patrick Star fan a reason to actually pick up the toothbrush, backed by a gentle sonic motor and a timer that does the counting for both of you. What sets it apart: Comes with 2 brush heads, so one toothbrush grows from milk teeth at 3 through to school age at 6 Quadrant timer pauses every 30 seconds, splitting the full 2 minutes evenly across all 4 areas of the mouth IPX7 waterproof to 1 metre, so a drop in the basin is a non-event rather than a disaster Runs 15 days on a single charge, with fast USB-C charging that tops it up in 2 hours Indicator bristles fade colour over time, an honest reminder when the head actually needs replacing Whisper-quiet motor, built for a child who is already unsure about brushing, not another reason to resist Includes a travel lock and storage case, so it survives a school bag without switching itself on Compatible with all Beurer sonic toothbrushes and Philips Sonicare (except Philips One), so heads are never hard to find. Two individual cleaning programs give parents room to choose: Mode 1 runs at a gentler 44,000 movements per minute for a nervous first-timer, and Mode 2 steps up to 65,000 once a child is used to the sensation. The pink handle is sized and weighted for a small hand to hold properly, with one clearly marked button rather than a row of settings to figure out, so a child can start learning to do it themselves early on. It suits any family introducing electric brushing for the first time, or wanting a single toothbrush that keeps pace with a child from toddler years into the early school years. Buying a whole new toothbrush every time a child moves up an age bracket gets expensive and adds yet another cartoon-character decision to negotiate at the till. The SC 11 sidesteps that by keeping the handle and swapping only the head: Wavy Soft covers milk teeth from age 3, and Wavy Clean takes over once adult teeth begin coming through around age 6, both fitted to the same Patrick Star handle. Each head's bristles are dyed to fade visibly with wear, turning "has this been replaced recently" from a guess into something you can actually see at a glance. For South African households juggling an early school drop-off, a 15-day battery and a 2-hour USB-C top-up mean charging is one less thing to keep track of before the morning rush. The same German engineering behind Beurer's health devices for adults goes into the version built for their children. Beurer has been developing health and wellbeing devices from Ulm, Germany, since 1919, and its products are trusted in more than 140 countries today. What's in the box: 1 x SC 11 Electric Toothbrush (Seastar Pink) 2 x Brush Heads (Wavy Soft, ages 3+ and Wavy Clean, ages 6+) 1 x USB-C Charging Cable 1 x Travel and Storage Case 1 x Instructions for Use Specifications: Colour: Seastar Pink Dimensions (L x W x H): 2.50 x 2.70 x 14.53 cm Weight: 106 g (toothbrush with 2 brush heads) Battery: 600 mAh lithium-ion, up to 15 days per charge Charging: USB-C, approx. 2 hours for a full charge Modes: 2 (44,000 and 65,000 movements per minute) Waterproof rating: IPX7 (1 metre for up to 30 minutes) Guarantee: 3 years Questions customers ask: Is the SC 11 gentle enough for a 3-year-old's first electric toothbrush? Yes. The included Wavy Soft head has extra-soft, rubber-coated bristles for sensitive young gums, and Mode 1 runs at a gentler 44,000 movements per minute for a first-time brusher. What happens when my child outgrows the smaller brush head? Swap to the included Wavy Clean head from around age 6, when adult teeth start coming through, using the same handle. Replacement 4-packs of either head are sold separately once they wear out. Is it safe to use in the bath or near a basin of water? Yes, it is rated IPX7 and can withstand submersion to 1 metre for up to 30 minutes, though a child should still be supervised while brushing. How long does the battery last on one charge? Up to 15 days of normal use, and a full recharge takes about 2 hours over USB-C. A Patrick Star electric toothbrush makes an easy gift for a birthday or the start of the school year, the kind of present that gets used twice a day rather than left in a drawer.
