    Why this product ********************** A thermometer is an essential in any household with babies and children in my opinion as when their unwell one of the first things you check is their temperature. You then also tend to keep an eye on it in case of horrid things like febrile convulsions. I bought this thermometer prior to my son being born. I selected a digital ear thermometer as I felt comfortable using ear thermometers having used them at work previously as a nurse. I also felt that these are one of the most accurate ways of quickly taking a temperature. What the thermometer looks like ... more

    Advantages Advantages Quick readings, reading recall feature, light up display

    Disadvantages Disadvantages doubts over accuracy, cost

    Soon after my daughter was born I discovered the necessity of having a thermometer in the house. One of the first things to do when a baby seems unwell is to check their temperature. The pharmacist in Boots told me that ear thermometers took the most accurate readings, so as this was the only ear thermometer available in store I bought one. It cost around thirty pounds. A quick check online shows that at the time of writing it retails for £34.99 from Boots and from £24.13 on Amazon, quite a difference. When I first got mine home I found myself hesitant to put it in my new baby's delicate ... more

    Firstly, my reason for buying this product. Very recently, my two year old daughter had a temperature, so we took her to the doctors where they took her temperature with a thermometer that went her in ear. The doctor said if we ever got the chance to buy one we should and that Calpol made them. Later that night my daughter seemed to get worse and started panting like a dog. We telephoned NHS direct who said we should strip her down to a vest and nappy and give her some paracetomol, about two minutes after that there was a gurgling noise, my daughter went limp, eyes glazed over and stopped ... more

    My mother-in-law recently gave us a Calpol digital ear thermometer, and it's great. With two small children, I have used various different thermometers in the past, some better than others, but none were perfect. The forehead scan needs holding in place for too long when dealing with a fretful, feverish toddler, and the mouth/underarm digital thermometer is inaccurate for youngsters as they don't hold it inthe correct place, or maybe not for the required length of time. The Calpol thermometer takes less than 3 seconds to register, and plays a little melody on starting and finishing taking the ... more
