Exergen Temporal Scanner Infrared Thermometer

Pros: Accurate, easy, much less bothersome to small child
Cons: A little pricey--$50.00

We just got one of these today after reading the reviews here. Our toddler has been sick for five days and we got tired of putting up with the wailing every single time we took his temperature. I'm glad we decided to try it. It's very easy to use and pretty non-invasive as the package describes. Just to check its reliability, my husband and I used it on ourselves several times in a row to see if we would get each get consistent readings. The readings varied by only two or three tenths of a degree. You get a reading in like, a second. I also like that the temperature reading stays on the LCD window for 30 seconds so you can leave your kid's dark bedroom and then read it in the light.

Pros: Easy to use and store.
Cons: Unreliable and dangerous for accurate readings on a sick infant.

My 5 month old grandson had a fever so high the bottoms of his feet were beet red and his eyes were glazed over yet this thermometer read 98.4 consistantly. How dreadful that parents would take a chance by believing the results they get from this product. Very scarey.
