Tommee Tippee No Touch Forehead Thermometer

Product Information

In fact, our kids didn’t object to it being used when they were awake, either – which can sometimes be the case with in-ear models. Sometimes you use it with a cap for taking temporal (forehead) temperatures and remove the cap to take tympanic (ear) temperatures. In addition, we asked them to refrain from taking a hot shower or exercising for 30 minutes before temperature readings. Additional features in modern thermometers can make it easier to take your baby’s temperature and figure out what to do next.

We wanted to know if the readings remained consistent and corresponded with how we (and our kiddos) felt. The instructions didn’t explain how to do this, so we turned the thermometer off and back on, which resolved it. The Kinsa QuickCare Smart Thermometer allows you to take temperatures orally, rectally, or under the armpit, so you can choose the method that works best for you and your family. Use it to measure the temperature of your baby’s bottle, so there’s no more guessing if it’s too hot.

One editor’s 4-year-old was even able to read his mom’s temperature himself since he saw the green display and smiley face. The thermometer has handy features—it can read the temperature of a surface or a room, and it provides results in both Fahrenheit and Celsius—but we found that they aren’t intuitive for the user. There’s also a beeping sound to alert you when the reading is available, but you can silence it for temperature-taking on a sleeping baby. In addition to the temperature reading, a built-in fever indicator (an arrow pointing to a happy or sad face) also shows if your little one has a fever. If you notice your baby acting differently or appearing “off,” consider checking their temperature via touch and thermometer.

It comes nearly ready to use in a handy storage case—just add the included batteries and you’re good to go. We then sent our 13 favorite thermometers home with our editors, who have been using them with their own families for two months now. However, since this thermometer is used orally and rectally, we wish it came with a case or tip cover for hygiene purposes. You can also change the temperature at which it detects a fever, since the temperatures that constitute a fever change with age.These give a temperature reading from the child’s forehead without physical contact, which is great for when they’re sleeping or wriggling around.

After you put in the two AAA batteries (included), the thermometer directs you to download and connect to the free Kinsa app. We were also impressed that our editors got the same readings when they held the thermometer right up against their forehead and a few centimeters away.

If they feel warm and sweaty on the back of their neck, and their feeding and/or behavior is off; confirm they are not spiking a temperature. During our test, the results were consistent with how we were feeling, provided we didn’t hold the thermometer for too long, per the instructions.

When it comes to checking the temperature of the baby’s bathwater, you don’t really need a thermometer with too many bells and whistles. I can see that the technology used is superior but I think I would personally wait for a sale or look for a cheaper alternative.
