I am in the market for a thermometer for our kids. We have one already, but I don't find it all that accurate. It's hard to keep them still enough to get a good reading! And sometimes one ear gives a different temp to the other :o.
I'd love one of those ones that you don't need to actually put in their ears (I think you just hold it close to their head?), but I have no idea what it's called or where to get one.
Can anyone recommend a really good/accurate thermometer?
TIA :D
I just bought one yesterday but it's one that you put in their ear. It's excellent though because it's especially for babies who don't keep still!! It's Omron - bought it at Amcal.
But I think it's normal for different ears to give slightly different readings.
Sorry I haven't seen the one that you're after - sounds good though!!
trish i have the one you just hold close to the head, its a thermoflash, i got it from the BB centre, not sure if kell still stocks them, was around $100 but well worth it!
Thanks CM and Olive! I'll go check those ones out online :D
i think with the ear ones you really need to be shown how to use them properly to as to get the right and accurate reading
i have the omron one but we are looking for a new one, we have had this for 3 years and well i think its past its used by date, the readings are ALL over the place.
