Over Thirty Mommy's Thoughts
What a great idea! While I have not had a need (knock on wood!) to need to use this on my infant daughter, my husband needed it after he decided to bring home a cold with him from his business trip to Las Vegas. I did try it out on Wiggle Bean, even though she was not sick, to see how it worked. I was a little hard to get her to hold still, she kept shaking her head around. I assume that it would be easier to get her to hold still if she was not feeling well. It was easy to use and relatively quick in getting a reading. I am not 100% on the accuracy but it was a good estimate. It regularly read her temp at 97. When tested along side another temple scan thermometer, it read approximately 1/2 a degree cooler. Overall, it was very convenient and much easier to use than a regular oral or under the arm thermometer.
Available at Walgreens stores and Walgreens.com. Regularly priced at $29.99 but on sale right now for $19.99.
Thank you to Mom Select and Walgreens for this review opportunity.
