We have a Braun Thermoscan, and maybe we just got a dud, but it's not very accurate at all. We used it several times after we got it months ago and it would show a regular-ish temperature, but we could tell LO was burning up and would check with the rectal thermometer and the temp would be something way higher than what registered on the Braun.

So, I'm in the market for reliable, accurate thermometer, but not a rectal one since I think our kids are too old for that. Inexpensive is great, but accuracy is more important to me as I hope it will last for many, many years to come.

Do you have a tried-and-true recommendation?
