8 best thermometers for children

Body temperature is one of the most important indicators of human health. It is important for parents to know and always monitor the state of health of their child, therefore the first obligatory object falling into the first-aid kit is a thermometer. Currently, many models are produced, differing both in the principle of operation, and in accuracy, and in appearance.

How to choose the right thermometer for children

To determine which of the thermometers is better, let us examine their principles of work. There are several types of devices for measuring body temperature:

1. Mercury thermometer consists of a capillary tube, at one end of which is a container with mercury. The temperature measurement readings are displayed on a special scale. The mercury thermometer responds less than others to the effects of external factors and temperature measurement conditions, thanks to which it measures the temperature of the human body more accurately than other types of devices.

2. Modern electronic thermometer consists of a plastic tube with a display on which the measurement result is displayed. The device informs about the completion of the operation with an audible signal. Such models are distinguished by faster results and safety compared to mercury thermometers.

3. IR thermometer determines body temperature using a special sensor that detects infrared radiation and shows the result in numbers on the display of the device. When used properly, the device provides high accuracy. The product can be attributed to the most technological and fast, but not cheap device.

4. Bracelet Thermometers - These are intelligent devices that allow you to transfer data about the child's health to the phone via a Bluetooth channel using a special application, as well as the entire measurement history. He alone keeps on the hand of the baby and does not prevent him from sleeping. Accordingly, the cost of a smart device far exceeds the price of other types of thermometers.
