Accurate and easy

2001-07-11
As though who have read my review of the Braun Thermoscan will know, the ear thermometer is not as accurate for newborns as the underarm thermometer. So, for a newborn, this is an easy, accurate and INEXPENSIVE alternative.

The tradeoff is that this thermometer is much slower to provide the final temperature. As those with a squirming newborn and infant know, time is essential.

Ahh, but isn't life a series of tradeoffs . . . Speed versus accuracy, speed versus expense. The Thermoscan versus underarm thermometer is just another of those tradeoffs.

That said, buy both. For a newborn, the underarm is more accurate, albeit slower. For a older infant, the Thermoscan is faster and accurate.

The best digital thermometer I have found to date! 2001-06-17
I received The First Years underarm thermometer as a baby shower gift in 1998. I also received a Braun ear thermometer at the same shower. The Braun seemed easier and much faster to use so initally that is what I was using. After using it several times I realized that it didn't seem to be very acurate. I ran across the The First Years underarm thermometer in a box of items I had put away after the shower. I decided to give it a try. I was so pleased with it that I told every new mom I knew how great it was. It is easy to read and gives you an acurate temperature in a very short amount of time. If you are using it on an infant it is very simple to hold the childs arm next to his side until the thermometer beeps. The same is true when your child is old enough to understand simple instructions on how to hold their arm for a few minutes. It is a little more difficult at that in between age when they don't always understand that they have to sit still of a few minutes. Overall, I would say this is a must for all moms, new and experienced alike. ALSO, AN EXCELLENT BABY SHOWER GIFT!!!!

	Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.
	Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!!
