You can take your child's temperature un-intrusively by simply pointing the thermometer at their forehead. When my children were poorly I was able to take their temperature without them even realising I was doing it which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to regularly monitor them, even when they were asleep. It’s fantastic that you can also use the product to take the temperature of bath water, food and rooms. It took me a couple of practices with the Brother Max 2-in-1 Thermometer to learn how to use it, my baby did not like it being put in his ear so for now I could only use it as a forehead thermometer. It is so easy to use, far easier to use than any other thermometer i have used and very accurate. It gives very accurate readings and is well designed. It looks great, there are just 3 buttons and easy to follow instructions. I love that it is hygienic. All three of my children had a virus at once and instead of having to put a new ear guard on each time as i would have had to on my old in ear thermometer I was able to move between them. I wouldn't change anything about the Brother Max 2-in-1 Thermometer, good value for money. Tested by mum Stephanie Price for the M&B Awards 2016:

I would 100% love this product if the body temperature reading was more accurate, however I don't believe any product that doesn't actually touch the skin would give a precise accurate reading. Maybe if the product had the flexibility to also take body temp in the ear for example it would be the perfect thermometer. Product InformationI found the reading a little out in comparison to a digital ear thermometer. This product is great as it has multiple uses however I prefer the accuracy of other thermometers for taking body temperatures. For ease of use, and trans-portability this product is fab. I don't have to hold baby down or distract too much to get a result as it’s so fast and easy to get a result that you can trust is perfectly accurate and trustworthy. It sped up the preparation of bath time as I could see the temperature as the bath filled up and adjust accordingly. During the one heatwave we had this summer it also helped me decide how cover by newborn at night so that she was warm but not too hot.

The flashing red light makes it easier to know if the water is too hot without having to look at the numbers. Tested by mum Kelly Dunlop-Chatburn for the M&B Awards 2016: We love the ear and forehead monitor! So easy and so fast to get accurate results. Minimal fuss to baby so easier to get results. Looks really snazzy in its own holder and the light is brilliant for night time but clear also for day time. Easy to keep nice and clean with baby wipes. Battery lasts for ages. The Brother Max 2-in-1 thermometer is something I'd recommend to friends. It is compact and very simple to operate. The price is also good. The design of the thermometer is very child friendly. My favourite feature about the product is the flashing light which is great when using it in the bath to warn you if the temperature is too hot. We now use the thermometer at every bath time but for me I don't like it as a room thermometer as much as the one we are currently using. Great as a bath thermometer though. The only issue I had with this product was that I found it almost impossible to remove the protective battery strip before using the thermometer for the first time. This wasn't just me being inept, as I had asked my father and partner to try also, in the end we had to use another implement to prize the battery out and then pull away the strip. Tested by mum Verity Thornhill for the M&B Awards 2016:It's an easy product to use and no need for anything extra such as ear caps. It has multiple uses such as taking body temperature, room temperature, food temperature and water temperature. One product does the job of four which saves money on buying many different gadgets. It's lightweight and small so easy to transport in changing bag. There is not one thing I would change with the product, it is amazing! Tested by mum Taryn Moore for the M&B Awards 2017: I loved that it can take the temperature of anything. The display was very clear and accurate. I think it is a good price for what you get although it's at the more expensive end of the spectrum.
