Our child and parents, we are glad that the Braun ThermoScan us the "temperature measurement" so simplified. The relatively high price might scare, but the simple and accurate measurement is worth us! Even if the children are already weakened due to illness and not just suffering from a middle ear ignition, there are no more tears, if the temperature is to be measured. Even measuring the sleep is no problem. We had before this equipment ear thermometer, but it was extremely vague and had a too thick and solid measurement tip, which was practically not apply to children under 4 years.
