Thermometers can be a tricky, especially with infants and toddlers. They are so all over the place and rarely want to sit still long enough for a temperature reading, and most thermometers take around a minute or so to get one. Also, deciding if there is a low or high grade fever can be hard to determine for new parents. When is it bad enough to require a doctor or ER visit? I recently received this thermometer to test and review and I have to admit that I am thrilled! It is the New Braun Forehead Thermometer.
“The Braun Forehead Thermometer offers both convenience and professional accuracy. It is fast, gentle and easy to use–simply swipe the thermometer diagonally on the forehead to get accurate readings in just seconds. Its large, easy-to-read screen helps determine the severity of your child’s temperature by displaying green if there is no fever, yellow if there is a slight fever, and red for a high temperature.” – Braun
Before this thermometer I didn’t trust my husband doing the temperature readings. Not because he doesn’t know how to do it, but he is one of those “old school” guys that will “let it run it’s course”. Now he can see in FULL COLOR when it is bad, so he can’t argue. Thank you, Braun, for that! ;)
You can see in the video below just how quick it was to do the reading and the perfect color display with large numbers (which is perfect if you have grandma watching the kids).
PROS
Easy to use.
Color-display leaves no guessing.
Quick
Fits in the hand comfortably, not awkward
CONS
Slightly bulky
VERDICT
AMAZING! I have been looking for a new thermometer since the birth of my daughter and this one is perfect! LOOK NO FURTHER, mommies!!
