Our take
Why we like it
The least complicated option here: take the measurement carefully, clean it properly and use medical advice when the result or child concerns you.
What parents should know
Ear thermometers are unsuitable for very young babies. Clean the probe as directed, use a cover where required and do not use a number to dismiss a feverish baby.
Pros
- + Low price
- + Simple backup
- + Easy to store
Cons
- − Slower than no-touch
- − Cleaning matters
