A bit pricey for a thermometer but well worth it. My favorite features of this product are you can turn the sound off, no disturbing the child to take a temp, color changing of screen depending on the temp. The screen will be green if the temp is normal, yellow if its starting to become a concern, red for high. To take a temp you can just aim at the center of their forehead and voila there is your reading. Or while they are awake just hold it to their forehead. I believe ever parent of a young child should have this.
