Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The Gro-egg color changing digital room thermometer is another clever innovation from the people who brought you grobag baby sleeping bags. Room temperature is vital in creating a safe sleeping environment for your baby and should be maintained at 61-67°F to help reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The Gro-egg glows yellow if the room temperature is within recommended guidelines (61-67°F). If the room temperature is outside this range, the Gro-egg acts as a visual reminder for you to take action to cool or heat the room, or to adjust the baby's bedding or clothing. Every baby's home should have a Gro-egg room thermometer and it is ideal for use with grobag baby sleeping bags to help you to monitor the temperature of the room where your baby is sleeping.
Product Description
Peace of mind at a glance - the innovative grobag egg changes color to let you know at a glance whether the temperature of a room is too low, too high or just right, helping you maintain a safe sleeping environment for your baby. As an added bonus it even works well as a gentle night light. A yellow glow suggests a comfortable temperature for children to sleep in, while a blue glow suggests it's too cold and a red glow suggests it's too high. The colors act as a reminder for you to cool or heat the room, to modify the baby's clothing, to use a different baby sleeping bag or for non-sleeping bag users to alter the level of bedding. Features Include: ? Digital thermometer with permanent 'back-lit' LCD readout ? Gentle night light ? Yellow glow suggest comfortable room temp for sleep ? Blue glow suggests room is too cold ? Red glow suggests room is too hot ? Instructions and safe sleep guide enclosed ? 10.6cmH

This is a nice idea - my wife and I really liked the concept and the styling of the Gro-Egg for our newborn's nursery. The problem is that the egg does not really work as intended. I have found the temperature displayed is consistenly wrong, usually 3 or 4 degress high. Just yesterday I saw the temp the jumping back and forth once per second between 73 and 77 degrees. An independent check of the room temp with another thermometer showed the room was 71 degrees. Since monitoring temperature is really the whole point, and this does not do it accurately or reliably, it is really not worth taking a chance on. We tossed the package but will attempt to return anyway.

My daughter bought this for our grandchild, though she has stopped paying attention to it. As other reviews note, although this makes an attractive addition to a child's room and is visually appealing, it is not particularly accurate, though that is true of many room thermometers. You can confirm this by placing it next to the thermostat for your heating system and seeing that the temperatures differ by several degrees. This also does not respond quickly to changes in room temperature. As a practical matter this means that if the temperature on this unit reads 65 degrees, for example, the actual room temperature could be anywhere from 61 to 69 degrees. However, that may be sufficient for your purposes.
Keep in mind that regardless of what your heating thermostat registers, room temperatures can vary (e.g. one room is draftier than another, so the temperature is cooler in that room). Therefore you cannot test the accuracy of this unit by placing it in a different location from your heating thermostat. Likewise, even if it is warm in your living room, your child's room could be cooler.
There are more accurate room thermometers (see, for example the Chaney AcuRite, which is sold on Amazon and costs less than half of what this product costs), but they will not add to the decor of a child's room, can be difficult to read in the dark (like the Chaney AcuRite), and cannot be read from a distance with a quick glance like you can with this product.
Bottom line: This looks nice and will give you a "ball park" idea of the room temperature, which may be all that you need. For greater accuracy buy something else.

This is a cool thermometer, looks good, novel ideal. However, I found it was not very sensitive to temp. changes in the room. It depends on where you place the egg. It doesn't always reflect the true room temperature.

Throw out egg!
We loved the concept however, it does not work. The temperature outside is currently 55 degrees and the egg is giving us a reading of 80 degrees. Read more

Fantastic Thermometer
Love this item. It's so nice to be-able to glance at it and know if its too hot or cold in the room by the color of the light. It's also nice that it doubles as a night light.

Not accurate at all
As a thermometer, this cool looking gadget fails completely. It is consistently 5-7 degrees higher than the actual temperature and just adds to parents anxiety levels. Read more
