Summary: The one for you if you are nervous about using a rectal thermo on your kid!
Comment: My pediatrician recommended a rectal thermometer because it is the most accurate. I was not happy about it until I found this one! Nobody wants to do this to their child but this gets a fast accurate reading and you know for sure you are not hurting them by putting it in too far. Love it!

Customer Rating:
Summary: Fast, Accurate, Easy
Comment: I don't have much to add over the other reviews here - but this thermometer is very fast, seems to be much more accurate (readings are consistent over multiple attempts), and our son doesn't even realize what we're doing. We were initially against the 'rectal' route, but that was mostly based on old prejudices against really long, really slow older models (that we grew up with).

This thermometer has a very short probe (no worries about going too far), and he has yet to even notice what we're doing. And it reads in 10 seconds or less, which is great because you're trying to get a temperature when he's screaming and crying. The armpit model we used before took up to 60 seconds, which is an eternity when he's thrashing and you're trying to hold the probe under his (thrashing) arm.

All in all, works fantastic, it's pretty cheap, and we don't have to dread getting a temp!
