Taking your child’s temperature is one of the hardest things to do because it is foreign to them and it is cold and flu season. Kidz Med sent us a Thermofocus 5-in-1 no-contact thermometer to try out. This state of the art ‘no touch’ thermometer takes your child’s temperature accurately without touching their skin. Providing for a trauma free experience, the temperature is taken easily from the child’s forehead in less than a second.
My daughter screams at times when I have to take her temperature underneath her arms. It is just scary to her because we do it maybe twice/year. So, obviously I am super excited to review this non-contact thermometer. The thermometer comes with batteries to put into the device. The cover to the device that holds the batteries is a bit hard to open and I had to ask my husband because my nails were too long. After that though, it was super easy to use. You turn the thermometer on, hold down a button to turn a laser on and point the red dot at your child’s forehead. Let go of the button and it reads your child’s temperature. It is SO easy! My daughter thought it was a game at first because she was awake when I tested it out, but there were definitely no tears or fighting, so mission accomplished!
The Thermofocus 5-in-1 Non-Contact Thermometer retails for $70, which seems high for a thermometer, but I know that we will get great use out of it and it will be awesome for when the new baby comes and I will never have to wake him/her just to take their temperature.
