Easier than the other option... 7/12/2008 I chose this thermometer for my 10-month old son. I never liked using a rectal thermometer for a number of reasons, and I figured if they use the ear therm in doctors' offices it has to be a good option. The name of the game seems to be getting the probe all the way in the ear canal, which for babies means pulling the outer ear back so that the middle ear (ear canal) is accessible. This can be a little tricky with one parent holding a squirmy baby, pulling on the ear, getting the therm in and then pressing the button to take the temp. I also generally take the temp twice to be sure I have an accurate reading. If it's way too low (in the 96-98 range) I know it's probably not positioned correctly, esp if I think he has a fever. The therm reads fast and I love that it doesn't need a probe cover, you can just wipe it with alcohol to clean it. Overall, a good option and so much nicer than the other option! Thank You.

Not Accurate (Too High) 6/7/2008 Got this last week. Tested it out on my family and also for myself only compared with the oral thermometer we have been using. I don't mind the variability, which seems to be roughly plus/minus 0.5 degree F. What I don't like is that it seems to average about 1.5 degrees F too high. Specifically, the oral has me at 98.7 but the first 5 repeats with Safety 1st ranged from 99.9 to 101. My wife's readings also came in over 100. Maybe we just got a bad one. Thank You.

Safety First (Accuracy Second) 6/2/2008 This thing is quick (~1 second) but wildly inaccurate. The instructions note how you're supposed to place it *just* right in the ear canal, by holding/pulling your ear back just so and inserting this into the ear canal so there is a good seal. Even if this is done I've gotten wildly different temperatures, even on my own ear multiple times using the same method of placement. I took my wife's temperature (when we got this, to test it out) and according to this she had a fever of 101.3, 102.3, and 102-something in 3 different readings. We went to a corner drug store and got a digital thermometer (placed in the mount, takes about 1 minute to work) and it read 97.6. We got this to use for a newborn but with the wildly different readings and no confidence that any of them are nearly close to being accurate, what's the point? I'll give it props for being 1. safe and 2. really quick! But it's about as useful as a random number generator. Wish it weren't, it would be a lot easier to use than something that takes 30-60 seconds to get a reading. Thank You. Was this review helpful?

Ideal with infants 5/27/2008 I love it! This pacifier thermometer is ideal for young infants, providing comfort to the child while letting you check baby's temperature. Quick and easy to understand, I suggest you to buy also probe covers to keep it clean. One of the best tools, if you have kids around! Thank You. Was this review helpful?
