I have not used the ear thermometer much yet because it is not recommended until after the age of 2 but I love the shape of the rectal thermometer. The regular thermometers are so long and skinny it felt like I was shoving them in the butt too much this particular thermometer, the shape of it helped me gauge (on a SQUIRMING baby) how far it went in. I have never had a problem with it's accuracy and it is the same brand as the "regular ones"... I would recommend the thermometer to any new mom.

Every time I use it I get different readings. Left ear, Right ear differs by 3 or 4 degrees in one sitting. I bought this for my 3rd child thinking it would be so great to have a quick read thermometer...no such luck. I'm back to using the digital rectal I've had for 4 years. Really upset I wasted [my money] on this.

This is an awful thermometer! The readings are everywhere!! One reading the light starts flashing that its a high fever, then the next reading is below normal. Don't waste your money! We are now using one that you slide over the forehead and it's great!!

Neither of these thermometers work!!! We have a newborn baby, and it takes FOREVER for the small one to work-not ideal for a little squirmy baby! Also, it seems to top out at 97 degrees anyways, so it isn't accurate to boot. As far as the ear thermomter, it also takes a long time (just what you need when putting something in a baby's ear) and tops out at 98 degrees, so accuracy is also in question. Lesson learned: you get what you pay for=pay a little extra for a more accurate, reliable, and fa ster thermometer!

I bought these separately for my infant son and wished I would have read the reviews on the ear thermometer first. I liked the rectal thermometer and I would tell others that its great. The ear thermometer is a different story. I couldn't wait for my son to reach over the 6 month mark where they recommend you use the ear therm. but I tried several times to get this thing to work and he's now 18 months and it still doesn't deliver. Every time I use it the thing reads something way different. I f ollow the directions they give with the pulling the ear so it will fit in the canal like their pictures show and it will read 20 degree different each time. Not worth the money in my opinion. Now I have to buy another type of thermometer because try and take a 18 month old boy who barely lies still enough to change a diaper let alone a temp. rectally.

I purchased this thermometer kit for a first time mom. She loves it. Wish I had something like this when I had my own babies many years ago!

I was excited at the prospect of a quick read with the ear thermometer, but I have not once been able to rely on it. If I take my baby's temp 3 times in a row, it is never even close to what it gave me the time before. There is usually a 2 degree "window" that the temp could be in. Not helpful when needing an accurate reading for a newborn! I tried it on myself and found out I had a fever, according to this product anyway (I did not have a fever!). Skip the ear thermometer, what a was te.

Our pediatrician recommended taking a rectal temperature until our child was at least 2 years old. It was stated that it is the most accurate for temperatures. We received this as a gift. We had to use it recently and it was very simple to use.

I haven't gotten an accurate read on the ear thermometer ONCE!! I tested it on myself to see if I was doing something wrong and it said I had a fever EVERY time. My actual temp. was 98.4. The Regular thermometer works accurately and that's what we use now. So my recommendation, skip the ear thermometer.
