When baby’s fighting a fever, you won’t care whether or not your thermometer has built-in Bluetooth or is app-enabled. As this thermometer proves, speed and accuracy trump bells and whistles.

WHAT WE LOVE

  • Take baby’s temperature two ways: from the forehead for younger infants and from the ear for babies over 6 months
  • A one-second read time and a backlit display make nighttime temperature-taking as painless as possible, with 99.8 percent accuracy
  • It’s not just for babies: This is the only thermometer your family needs

SUMMARY

When you have a sick baby on your hands, the last thing you want to deal with is trying to take baby’s temperature. The iProven gets it done fast—and with accuracy.
