Summary: WELL worth the money! 2010-03-13
Comment: I have tried many children's baby thermometers and found that non compare to the ease and accuracy of this thermometer. I love that it's small! I know I am not putting it in to far! My 4 year old isn't afraid of it either, so that's a plus :-)

Summary: Didn't work 2010-01-12
Comment: Got it from Amazon before the baby was born. We needed it the very first time to control our baby temperature on a Bilibed when the newborn was diagnosed with jaundice. The min temp we were told to keep was 97. Surprise - 97+-1 degree all the time, mostly 97.1 rectal. Baby hated the procedure. Under arms (you can use it that way per the manual - 96. It was about 11 pm, baby was crying, our idea was she is cold. Tried under arms on myself and got 95.9. Run to a local 24 hr store, got Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer (Amazon sells is as well) and can't be happier. Baby doesn't even notice I use that one. Vicks is going to trash.

Summary: easy to use 2009-12-18
Comment: Even with a fussy, wiggling, unhappy sick baby this was easy and felt safe to use. This is a great thermometer. You ALWAYS need to get a rectal temperature for your baby. Don't waste your time with anything else.

Comment: Don't believe the hype about this cheap useless thermometer. I bought this one so I would have a reliable accurate thermometer which would produce fast accurate results. What I got was two readings before it broke. It doesn't always light up and now its stuck at 96.8. I removed and reinserted the battery and it is still broken. Also, there are no probe covers that will fit this product so you will have to continue to sanitize with alcohol. Nice gimmick- like product that DID NOT WORK when I had an emergency. In the end, I went to the grocery store at 10 at night to get one that worked when this one froze up.

Summary: Works great. Loses design points. 2009-06-27
Comment: We bought this after the Red Cross 5 second thermometer. The Vicks works much better--i.e. it works. I probably would have given it 4 stars if I had never used the Red Cross. The Red Cross has a flat base, so that when you set it down the probe is well off the table top. The Vicks rests unsteady on its rounded side so it can shift around and a dirty probe can touch the table or other things.
