Product Description

From the Manufacturer

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 Grobag egg allows you to easily monitor the temperature of your baby's room at a glance. The Grobag egg glows yellow if the room temperature is within recommended guidelines (61-67°F). If the room temperature is outside this range, the Grobag 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Like It., February 12, 2010

This review is from: Grobag Egg Digital Room Thermometer (Baby Product)

When I first plugged in this thermometer, the temp reading was at least 5-6 degrees too high (I checked its accuracy with another thermometer I trust). However, I thought with all of the shifting during shipping it might need some time to readjust. I left it plugged in for a couple of hours and came back to check; the temperature reading was spot on! I have to wonder if all of the other consumers with bad reviews for this product did the same thing, or if they turned it on for a minute, got frustrated, and quickly returned it. If I turn it off (there is an on/off button on the underside) then back on, it needs about 5 minutes before reading the right temp. I leave it on constantly to avoid this problem. This thermometer gives off a nice gentle glow in whatever color, truly the perfect night light. You do have to look straight at it to see the temp as the reading is recessed in a little window. But the color of the egg tells me all I need to know with a passing glance; I mostly just check to see if it is yellow or orange, and also stop and think about how comfortable I feel in the temp of the room since the temp ranges in those two colors from 61 to 75 degrees.

1.0 out of 5 stars Only reads ONE temperature, 77 degrees!, June 1, 2009

I bought this room thermometer despite all the bad reviews b/c I figured you can't believe everything you hear or read. In this case...you can! It only reads ONE temperature which is 77 degrees!! Doesn't move from that. I get frustrated and put it away and pull it out again like a month later and try again, but get the same reading, 77 degrees when I know it's a good 50 degrees outside & our air unit was off. I don't think it works right. Oh, well :(

2.0 out of 5 stars Cute but not accurate., October 15, 2008

This review is from: Grobag Egg Digital Room Thermometer (Baby Product)

I thought it would be cute putting this is the nursery to check the temperature, but its not accurate. Its off by 3 degree, meaning instead of changing color it will always stay the same color.
