What do you ladies think is the best thermometer for a family. We have 5 kids ages 1-16 and we plan on having more. I want to buy a better thermometer than the regular digital one. I need one that is quick, accurate and can be used on any age. Thank you!!!

We love our safety first ear one from Walmart. Very easy to use and quick. Put in ear push button done. It is seriously that fast. It wasn't that expensive either

We have had pretty good luck with our Vicks digital forehead thermometer.

Vicks behind the ear gentle touch is a good one.

I was thinking about this one. I really like how easy it seems. Is it accurate? Does it work well on older kids and adults??

You just place it behind the ear lobe and push the button and the temperature comes up right away. Yes its accurate, the background light changes with the temperature. Green- normal
Yellow- mild
Red- high
