How difficult is it to get an ACCURATE reading when dealing with a wiggly, constantly moving toddler who won't sit still for the full two seconds?

I wouldn't recommend this product as well since I can never seem to get a consistent second or third readings (and this is with a stationary sleeping toddler, not even a moving one). Each reading fluctuates by a lot. It is only when you point the thermometer EXACTLY at the temporal vein can you get a reading that comes close enough to another type of temperature rating (e.g. ear thermometer).

Jenn the fact that this thermometer uses laser technology, aid in super accurate readings. as for a baby moving, the readings are so quick that if you can point ad push the button is all you need. all babys hold still for almost 2 seconds, and if in doubt, try using another thermometer, and you will find that this unit is accurate and supper fast. hope that helps you.

I find the problem with this thermometer is that sometimes it seems accurate and other times there is no way it's right. This thermometer told me my daughter had a fever of 104.2 before, took it again a minute later and she was at 101. A minute later she was 102, then 100. It was all over the place. I would try to find another alternative, but that's just me.

To get accurate readings you must follow directions and be within the parameters listed in the instructions. Everybody has their opinion, and I love this unit.

I wouldn't recommend this product as I've never gotten an accurate reading.

Problem was not to do reading ( it could be very quick and our doctor does it well, but this particular one) did not show correct temperature at all. I bought twice from two different companies and have to return as it was not working correctly) ubfortunetely i do not know what our pediatrician is using but he was happy with his.

Unfortunately - no. It is so accurate because it is so sensitive. You need to find a flat place to keep it permanently - although it can be reset whenever you move it. It seems like a drag, but the other wonderful aspects of this scale far outweigh this one inconvenience.

It shouldn't jump that erratic, clime & decrease in increments, seal it in a clear plastic bag an watch it to see if your readings steady & level off ? Might get your answer

Yes its normal but really annoying. I emailed Radio Flyer's customer service and the ticking is expected if the child rests their feet on the pedals while being pushed.

I have not used it on a child, but I think it would give accurate readings assuming you can persuade the child to hold still for about half-a-minute. It is not uncomfortable, just snug like those "Chinese" finger traps.

I wouldn't say it's hard to adjust, but it isn't made to adjust on a daily basis. It is a little tricky to figure out at first but not impossible. And you set in once and leave it until your little one gets bigger. It's easier to do small fine tuning like to adjust for small growth or a big jacket. But readjusting to go from a small infant to an older toddler takes some work. The arm strap is one strap that goes from behind on shoulder down to behind the hip then comes back out behind the other hip back up to the other shoulder. Like a big U attached behind the bottom. So if you pull the right arm strap forward, the left gets pulled back. It's all one belt. So to adjust you have to get this lengthened then the clips where you want them. Then the crotch strap is its own adjustment. I wouldn't say it's hard but maybe a little confusing the first time. But all the other benefits of the stroller are well worth it. I love it for my 2 boys. I hope my explanation is understandable.

yes. we had uncomfortable experience about that. and toddler sitting lock did not work sometime. it is big concern about toddler's safety.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it, but to each their own. Just as Triplethreat suggested, it is about the ability to understand...occasionally I have to tell my 3 year old (that is 32 lbs) to be still. If she gets into the ride and starts to lean, it throws off my balance and can be quite dangerous going around turns (especially passing others on the trails.) Also, keep in mind other factors, such as things being kicked, or splashed up in their face, and them not being able to tell you. Just my opinion, but I would get an inclosed one until your kiddo is a bit older.

My 2 yr old doesn't seem to be able to move it around too much when he's jumping. Based on my experience I don't think you'll have that problem.

Depends on size of child and coordination skills. 3 1/2 year olds struggle just a bit, but they are small for their age

Yes, but in order to get an accurate reading you have to really "jam" the thermometer into the ear. Sometimes My baby was hot and the thermometer would read a low temperature.

This is really an adult pulse Ox meter. I have used it on my 22 month old old grandson and it will work if you get it lined up just right. The sensor and the light source are fairly deep set. I have found the meter to be accurate and useful for my own use. I have compared it to my Doctor's meter often and it is always right on. I would not recommend it for regular use on a baby.

My daughter transitioned around 2 mos of age. She was acting frustrated with the slow flow. I think it depends on each child.

My daughter's BP was very high so we sent her this monitor. So far, she has told me it is holding pretty steady each time she uses the monitor. Other than what she tells me, I cannot tell you how accurate it is....I will know more when I speak with my daughter again. My husband did a lot of checking on BP monitors and found this one to be a good one at a good price. Good luck......

The reading is almost instantaneously voiced.If your dad uses a walker, he can position himself over the scale, then just take his hands off the walker to get a reading....no need to balances himself on the scale without support..

Similar! Our exergen stopped working so when Braun sent this to me I was fine with it. I still prefer an ear or under-the-tongue reading, but this works in a pinch. Our pediatrician uses the exergen so it's definitely reliable.

An infant moves his/her finger in the pulse oximeter, the readings will not be accurate. it is better to use an infant pulse oximeter. or use a handheld pulse oximeter with a wrap probe
