Best Baby Thermometers

Faulty. Unsafe for Use – Temperature was out by 4 degrees. Luckily we checked the temperature with our hand before putting our daughter in the bath. Not reliable and won't be using again. Will try for a refund.

The worst and most unreliable thermometer we have ever owned. When needed at the most critical moment in winter it will always come up as L16 error.… Read more

When we finally get it working, the temperature reading is very off and inaccurate which is very dangerous when our child has a high grade fever. How this product passed TGA is beyond us.

Hidden charges – This temperature gun has a sensor so it is only compatible with their branded ear probe covers. They are the most expensive on the market without… Read more

being any better. Do NOT buy this if you do not want to be locked into buy $2 ear probe covers every single time you use it. Side note - if you have already gotten tricked into buying it like me, a piece of cardboard can be wedged around the gun to trick the sensor. However, this is incredibly fiddly and annoying and I would not suggest buying it.

Highly recommended – I absolutely love how convenient this product is. It makes checking my child's temperature a lot easier without having to have any contact. Also the extra additions such as room temperature and surface temperature are quite helpful too.

I was always surprised when I felt my baby had a temperature but the thermometer always said she was fine. One day she was awful, sent home from… Read more

daycare with a temp of 39, thermometer said she was fine. Took her to the doctor and her temperature had gone up to over 40! Never used it again after that, it’s dangerous technology when it goes as wrong as this.

Great product and after sales service – Bath and room thermometer works well and is simple to use and baby loves playing with it. It’s an essential part of every bath time to make sure the… Read more

water isn’t too hot. Great after sales service by the Oricom team also. They replaced it for me free of charge when I called them about a glitch.

Couldn’t trust reading – Get the same temp range every time. 36.5 -36.7 bub was really hot used another went up to 37.9 Show details

So glad we purchased "No Touch Thermometer" years ago – We have used one for over 5 1/2 years and love it. It still works perfectly. It's best to keep it in the room you will be taking the temperature in,… Read more

so if your child is ill, leave it in their room so temp reading is accurate. We have had doctors visit the house (house calls) and twice I brought out this thermometer and checked with the doc's own reading when they use their ear thermometer - and both times identical reading as doctors own. Very pleased we purchased this product. Does not wake sleeping baby or child, children don't mind it being used when awake, acurate Occasionally need to take temperature a few times to ensure temp is correct (however this issue occurred when I used ear thermometer prior to buying this product too)

Stopped working after second use – This worked for two baths then completely died. I emailed the company but didn't get a response. I will try and follow them up again, but it wasn't … Read more

really high on my priority list when my baby was newborn. Very expensive for this to happen. I then bought an Aventi bath and room thermometer for just the bath and it has worked perfectly.

Don't buy go get mediscan – Not worth the money at all! Low readings even on my husband who is always hotter than me. He got a reading of 33.6, that's low! Took it many times… Read more

with widely varying temperatures. I would rate this one as totally inaccurate and I took mine back to the store for a immediate refund. That was 30mims after purchasing it. Now have a mediscan thermometer, excellent easier to use more accurate Sounded easy and good. That was it Very inaccurate

Great for young babies – When bub was 4 weeks old he had a night where nothing would settle him. we only had this dummy in the house. it worked and he instantly fell asleep.… Read more

pity this magic dummy could only bu used for short periods of time. After 5-6 months it become hard to use as he didn't want to keep the dummy in his mouth. But for $10 online it was well worth it. Now we're looking at getting a no-touch thermometer.

V916C using CR1225 fabulous over past 4 yrs – I bought two Vicks Fever Insight thermometers during COVID. The first was hopeless, I have just thrown it out Feb25, it looked the same as V916C but… Read more

took 2 tiny batteries which all measured flat on my battery volt meter including some I bought online. But the V916C has been one of the best products I have ever bought! 8 seconds, consistent results. I can hear the chimes, where I can't with other digital thermometers. It has only needed one CR1225 battery replacement after frequent use over about 4 years!

Life Saving!! – My little boy used to have serious febrile convulsions with every fever .. cutting teeth etc ... You clip it onto the nappy near the belly button and… Read more

turn it on ... it has a parental receiver that you set an alarm to a certain temperature .. ours was 38.5 & 39 ... meaning he was on his way up .. we used to leave it sitting near his baby monitor ... so that we had peace of mind ... saved us lots of sleep!!!

This device literally saved my childs life on more than 1 occasion ... We bought it after he had a prolonged febrile convulsion .. and it alerted us to anything over 39 from then on we were able to get him to hospital or cool him down nice and quick!!! <3

The distance of the parental system needed

Waste of money – This item was admittedly defective after only a short 6 months. Attempts to fix it through withings was FRUSTRATING. No phone number to call, just an… Read more

email which took about a week between responses. After about 6 weeks of back and forth I was told to just go back to the store I bought it from. I’ll never ever buy a Withings product again.

inaccurate – faulty reading after only second use. Started reading high temps 40+ then just reading HI. I contacted support and they were really helpful with… Read more

dispatching a new unit. After reading others reviews I would be inclined to buy a different unit altogether. I just hope the replacement unit works longer than a few months like my first one.

Takes way too long to take a temperature – Completely useless. Not fast reading at all. Ot takes a very long time to read a temperature. My baby went from being calm to kicking a fuss. Stressful for parents.

Legitimately will not give you an accurate temperate, ever. Not on my baby, not on me, not in any position or however you could possibly try. Better off just guessing the temp than using this thing.

Dream Baby Fish Bath Thermometer – The Dream Baby Fish Bath Thermometer was a handy product for us in the initial stages of parenthood. Providing us with a guide on how warm bubs bath should be. It's now a toy for our toddler and he finds it quite amusing.  Show details

Bad – The quality of the thermometer is really poor. I would have expected it to last for much longer than 11 months. This is such a waste of money. This… Read more

thermometer takes body temperature quickly just by placing on or near the forehead. Easy to use for a wriggly bub. 1. Battery runs out quickly. We've had ours for 11 months and have needed to change the battery twice already. And we rarely use it!

2. It's decided to die on us and we've only had it 11 months.

Omron have great brand presence, but unfortunately is let down by this product. Very short battery life, 3 new button batteries installed in less… Read more

than two weeks. Constantly going flat. Could be very dangerous as has no captive screw for battery compartment, and battery easily removed by young child if screw missing. Adding captive screw should be a no brainer for the manufacturer. After paying such a hi price I am very disappointed with this product. Am happy to pay for quality. But this is not a quality product.

A shame – This company should close Giving misleading fever result over a pandemic can cause hospital overload for nothing Don't buy this unless you want to scare someone Shame on you Medical device should have better quality control I hope you bankrupt Show details

The worst on market- not accurate!!!! – An expensive purchase and so disappointed. It's completely not accurate- like 1c off which is quite a bit when you have a child with an already high… Read more

fever. I suspected things were a little off when my child felt really hot but thermometer showed a 36.8 reading. Ended up at Dr's office and took it with me and there was 1.5c difference in the reading between his and mine...so he actually have a decent fever. It also has ridiculously low readings, like 34.9'C especially when baby is sleeping, which is very very low. Called the company and they totally don't care at all, they just said you need to get used to each person's settings and adjust from there. There have been a couple of times when child has been very sick with 39+ temperatures, which actually could have been 40'C+ and therefore should have taken child to hospital. A terrible purhcase!!

Ridiculous – None of the features advertised work properly, volume would be like putting my newborn (and us) to sleep through a rock concert in the lowest… Read more

setting. AbsokutelY ridiculous quality, can’t even sell it second hand as I wouldn’t have the courage to, wondering how they have the courage to ask $90 out of this. Out to the rubbish it goes.

Not lasting – Stopped indicating accurate temperature after 2 years, has been indicating 34-35C for two years now, even when my son has 38.5C of temperature.… Read more

UNSAFE. I called them to get it replaced and they said it was outside the warranty period. They offered to look at it if I had the receipt, but 3.5 years later, I don't. Do not buy!

Inaccurate, unsafe, unreliable, expensive, bad customer service.

Dangerous!!! Should be recalled – Absolutely appalling quality! Not only did it stop working after 10+ baths (not waterproof so it get water in it and dies) The water inside caused… Read more

corrosion and short circuited so the batteries began to leak!

Disgusting that this is sold for use with babies!!!!

Terrible – Not a good product. When you need a thermonmeter you need to know that it is reliable, and this one is not. It is not easy to use and you can't trust… Read more

the results. It claims to be accurate up to .2'C but that is not what we found and our Doctor proved it to be unreliable. I am suprised that they are able to get away with selling such a bad product. ummmmmmmmmm, It came with a nice black cover. It is not very reliable. We were getting a different readings, of up to 2'C difference, straight after each other. We had a home visit from a Doctor who used it to take my temp, and them used her's and there was a 4'C difference.
