Been using Braun Thermoscan since DS born, DS now 6 yrs old still using it. But when trying to use on DD (3mths) the ear 'hole' seem a bit too small to scan..lol.
Although is expensive, i think is good invesment, can get the temperature within sec...

Now Kiddy Palace got 20% discount, hopefully Braun Thermoscan is included. Is this thermoscan accurate ? I saw one that can do forehead and ear scan (but can't remember wat brand), don't know whether accurate or not ?

The one i got only for ear scan only, not for forehead. I bought it from PD clinic, i think is pretty accurate cos the clinic still using it. I normally will take from both ears then chose to read the higher temperature because sometime might be not inserted properly then will give a lower reading...Since only take few sec to use, i will take a few readings but normally the temp quite consistent.

i bought a forehead one instead of ear cos it's more hygienic (the ear covers not cheap at all). and at tt time, the ear thermometer was not suitable for my boy who was a few months old.

OH i bought the CADI T560 ear and forehead therm at 86 dollars at guardian recently. Thot it was quite convenient cos readings can be taken at an instant..they also got about 10 stored readings..I got it cos Braun would be over 100 dollars and the probe cover is expensive....this one that i bought does not need probe cover so just need to clean it with alcohol after some time....plus, it has 1 year warr....

I work in a hospital, so I bought Terumo ear thermometer for babies (my workplace version is for adults).
I look more for reliability in the readings, than other fancy functions.
Ie. Take and retake the temp in the same ear, it's the same. Take temp in both ears, the readings should not differ by more than 0.2 degrees.

Used it since newborn and have not tried other brands so cannot comment.
