If your child starts feeling ill and you sense a fever is coming on you want to be able to check their temperature quickly and accurately. This MOBI thermometer allows you to check temps without putting the probe all the way into the ear, or even running it across their forehead. Simply point the thermometer at your child’s forehead and get a reading in just seconds, which is actually kind of amazing. The instructions are easy to follow and as a bonus they reveal a number of functions that you otherwise would not know are there. For instance this thermometer has a flashlight function. If your child is sleeping and you need to take their temperature, this can come in very handy in a darkened bedroom. Another great feature is the ability to read the temperature of a room. Want to know the temperature of food, baby’s bottle or bath water? No problem! All the functions, plus the quick reaction/reporting time made this a favorite with parents no matter what their favorite feature was.
