BubsNest expert analysis of 5 parenting forum discussions

“Specially designed small tip for infant ears and rapid 1-second readings”

7.5

Solid Choice

The Tommee Tippee 2-in-1 Thermometer earns praise from parents for its quick, accurate readings and comfortable fit in babies' ears. Many appreciate the fever alarm and memory function, though the lack of a backlit display makes nighttime use difficult. While some find the required disposable covers inconvenient, most consider it a reliable and well-designed thermometer, especially for younger infants.

What parents love

Designed for small earsParents highlight the thermometer's tiny probe tip as ideal for comfortably measuring temperatures in newborns and infants.
Fast readingsThe thermometer provides a final temperature reading in just 1 second, a key advantage when dealing with a distressed or squirming child.
Fever trackingThe thermometer stores the last 9 readings and has a fever alarm, helping parents monitor a child's temperature over time.

Worth knowing

Requires disposable coversThe thermometer must be used with proprietary disposable hygiene covers, which adds an ongoing cost and inconvenience for parents.
No backlit displayThe lack of a backlit screen makes it difficult to read the thermometer in low light conditions, such as during nighttime fever checks.
Tympanic sensitivitySome parents note the tympanic (ear) readings can be inconsistent if the thermometer is not properly positioned or if there is earwax buildup.

Best for

  • Families with newborns and infants
  • Parents who need quick, accurate temperature readings during the day

May not suit

  • Families who frequently need to check temperatures at night
  • Parents who want to avoid the cost of disposable covers

Tips from parents

Getting the Most Out of It

Ensure the thermometer is properly positioned in the child's ear to get the most accurate readings.

Safety Note

Always use a clean, fresh disposable cover to prevent cross-contamination and ensure accurate temperature measurements.

Shopping Tip

Consider purchasing extra disposable covers to have on hand, as the ongoing cost can add up.
