A few months ago, the batteries in our traditional thermometer died and I was shocked to learn that replacing the battery was the same cost as buying a whole new thermometer! I knew that if I was buying a new one, I wanted something a little more sophisticated.

Every time my kids got sick, I found myself scrambling to try and get an accurate temperature out of a regular thermometer. With little ones, this can be a huge struggle. I did some hunting on Amazon, and came across a huge selection of thermometers. Not only were they comparable to ones found in local pharmacies and big box stores, they were over half the price!
