About this item

Highlights

  • DOCTOR-DESIGNED THERMOMETER: Infrared technology provides accurate temperature readings in just 1-second with a kid-friendly giraffe character design.
  • 3-IN-1 FUNCTIONALITY: Easily switch between ear, touchless forehead, and bottle temperature modes for children 6M+.
  • 1-SECOND, STRESS-FREE READINGS: The friendly giraffe design helps keep kids engaged, making it easier for parents to get accurate temperature readings. Forehead mode works without waking a sleeping child, and ear mode measures core temperature quickly and reliably.
  • COLOR-CODED FEVER INDICATION: Digital display with backlight shows green, orange and red color codes for quick assessment. Check the Temperature Readings section of the user manual to understand your results. Generally, a reading of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher indicates a fever, but always consult your healthcare provider for medical advice as needed. The 3-in-1 Giraffe Thermometer is indicated for 6M+. For children under 6 months of age it is best to use a rectal thermometer for the most accurate reading.
  • BABY REGISTRY & GIFTING ESSENTIAL: A gift parents will actually use, perfect for baby showers, new parents, and grandparents who want to give something meaningful and practical.
  • PLAYFUL PROMPTS GUIDE INCLUDED: Transform dreaded sick-day routines with our signature storytelling guide for grown-ups that puts the Playhouse Method into action. Because a dose of play goes a long way in empowering kids to be the superheroes of their healthcare journey.

Description

Meet Jax the Giraffe, the doctor-designed, kid-inspired Infrared Thermometer that helps little ones stay engaged and still for fast, accurate readings. The 3-in-1 design measures ear, forehead, and bottle temperatures, has a color-coded LCD display for quick, 1-second temperature read and optional sound alerts making it the perfect all-in-one solution for families with little ones. Whether you’re measuring fevers during cold, flu or RSV season, this thermometer helps you confidently check your child’s temperature — so you can care for little ones with confidence.

Unlike traditional thermometers, our friendly giraffe character makes temperature checks less scary for children and easier for parents to take temperature reads. The infrared technology provides readings in just one second, while the digital display includes a color-coded fever indication for easy temperature reading.

The 3-in-1 design switches easily between ear, forehead, and bottle modes. Use forehead mode for non-contact readings that won't disturb sleeping children, ear mode for core temperature measurements, or bottle mode to ensure formula or milk are just right before feeding.

Jax comes with a Playful Prompts Guide to turn temperature checks into a playful adventure that helps put kids and caregivers at ease.

Intended for children 6 months and older, the BPA-free, phthalate-free design is hygienic and easy to clean, making this the perfect addition to your sick-day toolkit.

Includes: Giraffe 3-in-1 Infrared Thermometer with forehead reader cap, Playful Prompts Guide, User Manual, and 2 AAA batteries.

It's always recommended to consult your healthcare provider for medical advice, especially concerning your child's health. You know your child best; even in the absence of a fever, if you have concerns, please consult your healthcare professional.

    Quick and easy to use

    I was unsure about a $40+ thermometer. But I was tired of all of the cheaper ones breaking constantly. So far this one is really easy to use and very cute. Hoping it holds up long term.

    Cute but questionable

    While this is cute and makes temperature taking easier and more fun, I have found that this shows wildly different temperatures on the same child within moments of each other. It’s sad to feel as though I have wasted my money.
    1 reply from Playhouse MD Team team - 10 days ago
    We’re sorry to hear you experienced inconsistent readings, especially when trying to monitor your little one’s temperature. Small changes in placement, distance, or movement during a scan, or a probe tip that needs cleaning can sometimes affect results. Please reach out to care@playhousemd.com so we can help troubleshoot or arrange a replacement for you. –Playhouse MD Customer Care Team

    Highly recommended. Will be my go to gift for baby showers now

    The thermometer is adorable! My kids love it. It reads accurately, we have another “old school” under the tongue thermo and it reads accurately too so we did compare for accuracy. I do wish it came with a plastic box case for storage. Response time is less than a minute, very fast. The display of the temperature is bright and perfect for when using it in the kid’s room when they’re asleep. We used to have the Braun’s brand and this one is the golden ticket. Get it you won’t regret it!
