Description

The Safety 1st Rapid Read 3-in-1 Thermometer is a baby care essential that lets you choose the best way to check temperature when your little one isn’t feeling well.

Our thermometer for kids temperature reading time is only 8 seconds, with a backlit display for better visibility and a Fever Bar indicator that shines an amber light when your child’s temperature is above 99.6°.

    Thanks for your review! We would like to express our sincerest apologies for the low battery message upon immediate use. We're empathetic towards your sentiments and they're valid. It's tough enough to tend to an ailing child, it makes it considerably harder when the devices that we're reliant upon to assess the severity of the sickness fails us. Please contact our Consumer Care team at 800-544-1108 and we'll address the matter with the appropriate care it deserves.

    Goodluckwiththat - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
    Picked up this thermometer today. Pulled the battery tab and took my temperature. The battery has one bar worth of charge. So much for the “Includes 1 2032” replaceable long-life battery” statement on the back of the box. Am not able to unscrew the back to replace the battery—which I should not have to do. This item is going back to the store. And that’s the last thing a person wants to do when they are sick—another trip to the store. And if there is a phone number for Safety 1st on the box, good luck finding it. It’s not on the back of the thermometer.

    Not very accurate. My baby just got home from the NICU so we had to take his temp often to make sure he’s regulating his body temp correctly. This one is consistently giving false low readings, which has added unnecessary stress to our lives. I don’t recommend.

    This showed our four day old newborns rectal temp as 94.5. This lead to a panicked ER trip, a blood draw for a four day our little one, and about five years off our lives via stress. Had this thermometer simply done it's job, this would have all been avoided. Spend extra money and get something that isn't complete junk. This brand should be ashamed. DO NOT BUY

    This thermometer did not provide an accurate reading. I bought 2 thermometers, this one and the frida baby 3 in 1. The frida was accurate compared to the thermometer at urgent care, and this one was too low by a whole degree. It's so important to have an accurate thermometer, especially in the first 3 months of your baby's life. I would not recommend this one.

    I’ve owned this thermometer for years to use with my older kids, and recently bought a new one for my newborn (because sometimes new babies need their temps taken in “other places”). I love the chart on the back listing which temperature is considered a fever depending on where the thermometer was used (orally, underarm, or rectally). It’s always been accurate and gives the result very quickly

    I purchased this 2 days ago. After first use, the battery indicated it was low. Today I purchased brand new batteries and even after replacement it still shows the low battery symbol. How terrible for a product to be unreliable. The picture attached is from after the brand new battery was installed.

    I have used many thermometers in my time working in daycare centers, schools and as a parent. I have used it about 3 times and i feel that I am always getting a correct reading. I love the big display and the aqua color is cute! You can't beat a 6 second reading on an infant! Put the plastic cover on and through it in the diaper bag. Very happy with this product.

    The Safety 1St thermometer is a great product, giving a fast and accurate reading on babies, toddlers, children and even adults. It beeps within a few seconds so if you have a squirmy toddler like me, you won't have to worry. The tip is flexible for under the arm readings as well. I like that the reading area is large for at night or when I just don't have my glasses on, I'm not left squinting at it. Overall I will continue to use this as it's a great all around product for the family.
