Simple and Reliable
I love this thermometer. Our old one from when my 5 year old was an infant used button batteries and thus had a locked opening that was very difficult to open. It took 2-3 temps before needing a battery change. It was never ready when I needed it. This one uses standard AAA batteries, is super fast and we've used it dozens of times on the original batteries. The ear and forehead are accurate to each other within a reasonable amount and are accurate to a mouth thermometer. My kids (5 & 2) don't mind having their temp taken either way since it's so quick. I highly recommend if you're looking for a simple, infant & kid friendly thermometer that will reliably work in the middle of the night, which is the only time kids ever get sick.
