This Infrared Family Ear Thermometer is pretty small (about a wrist size) and light-weight, that’s why I think kids are not scared when someone approaches them to measure body temperature. It is also perfect for travelling since the thermometer does not occupy much space and has a good quality cover cap to protect the sensor tip. The thermometer has a large LCD display which shows all the information. The icons on the screen indicate if the temperature measured is outside the operating range (93.2F to 109.4F). We also like symbols on the screen, featuring the temperature indicators, where a smiling face means that a body temperature is within the appropriate range, lower than 100.4F and a frowning face symbol alerts that the body temperature is equal or higher 100.4F.
