Get an accurate kids temperature without approaching an orifice. Can I get an amen?

From the time my first baby was born and the nurses hovered over us every 30 minutes taking his temperature and mine, I knew a child’s temperature was kind of a big deal. I also knew that my kid freaked out any time I approached with the evil silver stick - and that was just when I was headed for his armpit. Since I wasn’t about to take an anal temperature, I went for the digital ear thermometer, even though they’re slightly less accurate and not meant for kids under one year of age. I used it happily through two children until I discovered the Temporal Artery Scanner from Exergen. Good people, let me tell you - never spend a penny on another thermometer. I sure won’t. This thing is freaking awesome. Not only is it incredibly fun to use for both the taker and the take-ee (heh), it’s not at all invasive and it’s more accurate than any other thermometer on the market. With a simple scan from the center of the forehead to the hairline at the temple, you’ve got an accurate temp in just seconds.

(Watch this educational video if you want more info. Or just trust me - it’s cool and you want one. So do the people you’ll be buying baby gifts for.)

Check here to see where you can get yours in stores and online. FYI…in Canada, this product is called the AccuCare Temporal Artery Thermometer and it’s sold in Shoppers Drug Mart. (The Shoppers website is horrific so don’t bother looking for it on there. Just head to your local store and pick one up!)

Win it! We’re giving away a Temporal Artery Scanner (the US version, but anyone can win and they’re all the same save the name) to one reader! To enter, leave a comment on this post before midnight mst on September 8/08.

Additional entries available. See contest entry information and rules.

    these are so handy, I have one that you have to stick in your ear that I got about 10 years ago. I can find the disposable inserts that go over it anymore as they’ve stopped making them now, so this would be great for the whole family!

    It gets harder for this old granny to wrestle with a cranky 18 month old when he doesn’t feel well to try to get his temperature. This sure would do the trick! Great product. Wish I had one.

    My daughter Cassidy is 9 months old and was born with a heart defect. She’s doing wonderfully, but we still have quite a few days in the hospital ahead of us. If we had the Temporal Artery scanner, Cass wouldn’t be woken up every 3 hours in the hospital to have her temperature taken. Then she could concentrate on what is important… resting & healing up!
