I wanted a thermometer that I wouldn't have to poke in my baby's ear or armpit every time I worried about their temperature (which was about every hour when my son was first born!) This seemed like the perfect solution and a year on, it is still great.

Bought this a few weeks ago and have had a couple of occasions I have had to use it allready! Very good clear instructions and so handy when needing to take my toddlers temp whilst she is sleeping as she used to wake with all the other thermometers.
