comment
" ...  They have seen me through many a cold/flu with three kids. ... I found one on Amazon, but decided maybe I should try the least gadgety upgrade (my kids are older so I really do not need all the bells and whistles). ... However, if I still had babies and had run out of covers the middle of the night and I suspected my child has a fever, I would want to use the thermometer that one time without a cover. ... It is easy to use and the kids never complained.  ...  "
