Baby Products Reviews of The First Years Alert Ear Thermometer
Customer Review: Don't know why others have so many problems - I love it
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the only thermometer we use at our house, my husband and I included. It is so easy. Just be sure to hold the top of the ear straight up then insert the probe, this should give you the right angle. As for the probe covers, you can use any generic cover. I bought a package of Walgreens brand covers and they work just as well. They are not the exact same and do look different, but looks and functionality are two separate things. Get over the cover issue and go to Walgreens or any drug store. Please don't let the other reviews scare you. This is a great product.Customer Review: No Probe Cover Refills
Summary: 1 Stars
I have looked EVERYWHERE and there are no probe covers to be found ANYWHERE! Who would sell a $30 thermometer that can only be used 20 times! This is insane. If anyone finds them, please let me know where. I have checked BabysRUs, USA Baby, Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens, Snyder's Drugstores, every grocery store, every discount store, every drugstore I have been to in two states over the last 3 months. This is crazy. I recommend not getting it.Customer Review: Don't know why everyone else has problems with this
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this thermometer 18 mos ago and absolutely love it. It is quick and easy to use, and there is no maintenance. As for those who are having trouble finding probe covers, they are sold at Walgreens or any other drugstore. They are not first year brand, but the Walgreens brand works just as well. I hope this helps. Please consider this theremometer, your children will thank you because of the unintrusive, painless readings.Customer Review: go for the more expensive forehead scanning thermometer!

i could not get this thing to read the correct temperature on me, much less my baby . . . not too comforting when you're wondering if your baby has a fever or not. no matter what angle i had the thermometer at it always read 96.7, on me and my baby. go for the slightly more expensive forehead scanning thermometer (target doesn't carry it but babies r us does), it's super fast and much more accurate.Customer Review: probe covers
Summary: 2 Stars
I have only found ONE place to buy probe covers for this thing - so I bought a lot. They aren't the same manufacturer - but they are the exact type of probe covers. Hope this helps others looking for covers for this. If the first years doesn't sell probe covers for this anymore - they shouldn't let companies sell the thermometer either.
