It's the gold standard for quick, gentle temperature checks that won't wake a sleeping baby, though you may need a few attempts to nail the technique for consistent readings. Ideal for parents with infants and young children who want peace of mind during nighttime fever checks; less necessary if you've got older, cooperative kids who can handle forehead or oral thermometers.
⚠️You'll need to keep buying proprietary disposable lens filters (about £5 for 40), which adds up over time and you can't use it without them.
