This thing never ever gives an accurate reading! Sometimes it says 92.3 other times it is even lower! I tried using it just the other day, my daughter is very sick right now it read 94.3 I get her to my moms and we do it the good old fashioned way and it was actually 103. It is not worth buying.

Do not buy this!
I had this thermometer for 8 months and never got an accurate reading. I took it to my son's pediatrician to ask if I was using it wrong and she told me that it was junk and you can't get a reading for it.
I returned it shortly after that.

The most important thing about a thermometer is its accuracy. I checked my baby's temperature and it said 98 degrees. So I was not so worry. Thank god, my mother was with me and she touched the child and said he had fever. So, I tried my $7.00 thermomether and sure thing, he had 102 degrees. I paid over $35.00 for this thing that its worthless and DANGEROUS to your child. Too bad I cannot return it, but at least I'm taking the time to write this and save you from a possible bad experience.
