Pros
Pro Suitable for parents who are uncomfortable with rectal thermometers
First-time parents or those who don't like the idea of sticking a thermometer inside their baby's rectum will like this. You will only use this on your baby's forehead or your child's ear as he grows older. There is no fear of puncturing anything at all.
Pro Easy to use
There's a labeled separate button for the forehead and ear function.
Forehead function: Press and hold the head button. Then move the thermometer across your baby's forehead from temple to temple. You can do this by gently touching it on multiple spots on the forehead or sliding it across. Release the button and read the temperature.
Ear function: Pull the ear slightly backward. Aim it inside your child's ear and press the ear button. Release the button and read the temperature.
Cons
Con Has to be used at room temperature
When using it as a forehead thermometer, you have to acclimatize it to room temperature. You need to do this for 30 minutes before you use it so it will produce an accurate result. If you don't want to do this every time, you can store this at room temperature or use the ear function.
