[blparent] What talking thermometer do all of you prefer?

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Hi, Darrell.  Buy either one, but don't spend a lot of money.  Have it 
around to check your instincts, but honestly, after the first few fevers, 
you'll know.  You'll be able to tell when your kid is sick by the way he (or 
she) is acting, by placing the back of your hand on his forehead or your 
cheek against his, by holding him in your arms and just feeling that he is 
hotter than hormal, by just knowing something isn't right.  The only time 
you'll use the thermometer, most likely, is when the nurse at the 
pediatrician's office or the school asks for an actual number to see if your 
baby or child can attend classes or get a doctor's appointment.  At least 
that's been my experience.  I got all stressed out, thinking I just had to 
get a talking thermometer, and I've hardly ever actually used it for my 
child.  She's seven now, and she just got over her first sniffly bug of the 
school year, and I didn't need my talking thermometer to diagnose or treat 
her at all.  It's a little more useful with babies than it is with older 
kids, but I don't think one brand is particularly better than another.

Hi Everybody,

Allison has posted a few times asking all of you great questions to
help us prepare for our new arrival, but, now, it's my turn. :-)

I'm wondering what talking thermometers all of you like?

I'm seeing mixed reviews about products from Caretalk and Safety 1st.
Do you like either of these, or something else altogether? What are
the pros and cons?

Thanks,

Darrell
