Sounds like a great thermometer…. I’m always looking for anything that makes life a little easier. Thanks!
Christina P says
Thanks for this review, I have been looking for a thermometer that was much more user friendly than the one in the ears or the normal ones.. I will go out and see if I can find this one!
Brook Elmer says
Thanks for trying this out. I have wondered how this worked from a users perspective.

One second touch – nice! I sure could have used this when mine were babies.
Marcie W. says
I love the idea of a BEHIND the ear thermometer! How great, especially when it’s shared by multiple kids and you no longer have to buy those covers like you do for the usual ear thermometers.
Crystal Epperson says
Anyone with babies/toddlers probably needs one of these. Too bad they didn’t have one when my son was younger…Thanks for the review!

Diane Brimmer says
Wow so easy and yet so fast. Come a long when from when mine were little. You had to fight with them just to take their temp. and then I wonder how accurate it really was after them being so upset. Thanks for the review.
