Braun No-Touch Forehead Thermometer Review

Received from an +Influenster #VoxBox at no cost to me, I want to share my review on the new Braun no-touch forehead thermometer.  I am not being paid to share my opinions.

First, a photo of the item up for review:

As a mom to four, my kids have never all liked the same type of thermometer that we've had through their years of life.  One would like the under-the-arm technique of reading their temperature, one enjoyed holding the thermometer under their tongue, no one liked the rectal thermometers, go figure! But as a parent, I enjoy going the easiest route possible, to get a clear reading of their temperatures without any fuss or complaining from the kids.  Even using the little strip that you place against their foreheads for a few seconds, didn't work out too well.  My youngest, while sick, never wanted me to touch her with anything!

Enter stage left:  the new Braun No-touch forehead thermometer!

SUCH A LIFESAVER!!  The big kids thought it was too cool, with a light that shines on their forehead and beeps when a reading it taken, and wanted to run around taking each other's temperatures all night.  The little one didn't care too much for me pointing anything at her that beeps, but for her, luckily, this thing doesn't have to touch her head AT ALL, and so I can either get a quick reading when she's running by, or just wait until she's asleep and get a reading then, without waking her.  Score one for mom!

Another thing I love about the new Braun no-touch forehead thermometer, is that if your temperature is in the normal range, it will show a green color on the screen with the temp numbers, if it is a low-grade fever, it will beep a few times more and show a yellow color on the screen, and while we haven't had anyone with a full-blown high fever yet, when we do, it will surely beep more and give us the red color with the high fever temperature reading on the screen.  Such a great addition to the thermometer!

We've come a long way from the little thermometers that have the red line that rises inside that you have to shake to get back down to zero!  But this is something that I believe everyone needs, especially moms to new babies or even to kids who have sensory issues and do not want to have anything touching them when they are sick or uncomfortable.

A great find, well worth the price on it (ranges from $45-$55 in different stores I have seen).  Toss those old fashioned under-the-arm thermometers now and run to find one of these!

Thanks for reading my review!!  Be on the lookout for more!
