★ marks the stronger of the two. Scores are out of 10.
The best of the forehead bunch and great for checking a sleeping toddler, but not a replacement for an underarm or ear reading.
Best for Quick, silent checks on a sleeping child, with a stick or ear thermometer on hand to confirm.
A simple, fast no-touch thermometer with a good memory, held back by the limits of forehead readings.
Best for Parents who want a no-touch thermometer with a longer reading history.
