Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I did not buy this on Amazon, bought at Target as part of a promotion but I wanted to leave a review as I find them useful when buying items. I have two kids under 2, one with chronic and severe health issues and he gets frequent fevers so I'm picky about themometers and take my sons temp frequently. My gold standard is rectal temps since that's what my pedi wants when I call with issues and I haven't found any themometers that come close to giving me an accurate temp when compared with a rectal temp. I have a forehead scanner one and that will often show NO fever on my son when his rectal temp is close to 105! The armpit ones take far too long and I have returned three other ear themometers for not being even close to his rectal temps I can say that this themometer, so far (had it a week now and both kids are battling viruses) is always within .2 of their rectal temps. For example, my sons rectal temp was 102.6 and this read 102.4. I haven't had it ever read more than a .5 difference so it's a winner in my book and super quick **update** now that I have had this almost two months I wanted to update. I still find it to be accurate within .4-.5 of their rectal temps with the exception of my daughter. She is only a year and has a very small ear canal so you do need to follow the directions and hold the ear and pull it back gently but I still find it is a bit off (maybe like .6 or .7 but often it is while she is sleeping and I'm not gonna wake her to take a second temp, I just add it). For everyone else, my 3yo included, I find it better than other ones I have used like the Braun, the exergen and Vicks (but I LOVE the Vicks rectal). Two months in and I still think it's the most accurate nonrectal thermometer for small kids and obviously adults :-)
