This is a Mama Buzz review. The product was provided by Exergen for this review.
I was excited when I saw the opportunity for this review. The thermometer I had for James died years ago and I’ve been using my trusty hand to check his temperature.
We tried it out immediately and discovered that it’s EASY to use.
The thermometer comes with a 9 v battery which made me excited. (I know I’m weird!)
It comes with a user’s guide and it’s easy to follow. It is lightweight and easy to hold.
You simply remove the cap and place the tip on the forehead. Press down the button and move the thermometer across the forehead to the hairline–while holding down the button. Release the button when you reach the hairline and it tells you the temperature.
It claims to be more accurate than ear thermometers. I can believe that. I remember my old daycare teacher days trying to use the ear thermometers. They can be too large to place into the ear of very small children and you have to purchase the disposable tips.
I like this type of thermometer better than the underarm thermometers as well. Holding feverish children and trying to keep them still for an underarm reading wasn’t very fun either!
Another great point about this thermometer is NO MERCURY!
I see a lot of value in this type of thermometer. I imagine James will find dozens of reasons to check his temperature in the coming weeks.
I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase this for a baby gift in the future. I’d have loved to have something so easy to use when James was little.
