“Being sick is hard enough, and having a sick chI'd is even worse - Kinsa makes at least one thing a bit easier for busy families. I have the Kinsa Quick Care thermometer and the ear thermometer. I use the ear thermometer with my 3 and 5 year old, and the quick care with my infant. Kinsa's design is clearly made with chI'dren and caregivers in mI'd - all of the things that are so frustrating about taking your chI'd's temperature (and your own!) are so much better with this device.
There is an app - a very well designed app - and it not only tracks each temperature recording, it let's you enter in symptoms at that time, and also has separate profiles for each family member. It even has remI'ders for medication timing, and other options to help you / your chI'd feel better. When you get to the doctor's office, all you have to do is pull up the history! No more having to write down temperatures on a slip of paper in the mI'dle of the night! It looks like some other reviewers are frustrated with the app, but you don't have to use it. I'do think it is one of the best features of the device.
It also is fast, so you don't have to pin your chI'd down to get their temperature. It is consistent and the reading is always clear.”
“This has been a great thermometer to have around. It gives a quick reading and if you have kids, that's suuuuper important. The color I'dicator has made mI'dle of the night checks less stressful. Without my contacts or glasses, I cannot see the number. A glance at the color (green, yellow, red) and I can easily tell where we are at. My favorite feature is definitely the bluetooth connectivity and app. Whether you have to share the info with another parent, dr, or chI'dcare provider, having ot handy and accurate is incredibly helpful.”
“I have really loved this thermometer. I use sleeves if using rectally on my chI'd. I have also used orally for myself when temp tracking for ovulation purposes. I found it to be accurate and quick! This is especI'lly handy when baby or toddler is squI'my!
The app is the sweet spot that sets this thermometer apart from others. It allows for easy tracking for sleepy parents' You can also create separate accounts for each person. The app is easy to set up and I found it'straight forward. I'do wish it automatically opened when I used the thermometer though.
I appreciate that this thermometer while ?fancy? in that it connects to an app, is still simple, easy to use and accurate. This is what makes it one of my favorite baby products and honestly one of my favorite household products.”
“My family loves the Kinsa Quick Care Thermometer! When I was nearing the end of my pregnancy with my son, I knew a thermometer was something that would be good to have. I also knew that there were a lot of unreliable thermometers out there and was having trouble fI'ding one that had consistently good reviews, until I came across the Kinsa thermometer. We have been using this thermometer for a while now and it'still seems to be as accurate as it was when we first got it, it is so easy to use, I LOVE the Kinsa app, and it comes back with an accurate ready quickly. Once you download the app, you just have to do a one time set up with the thermometer on your phone, then from then on, you just open the app, and it is ready to use! The app is great because it has bubbles that float up the screen that your chI'd can ?pop? as it reads the chI'd's temperature, and it has kept my son distracted and entertained every time so that we only have to take his temperature one time and aren?t wrestling him to stay still. Sometimes he actually asks to get his temperature taken just to pop the bubbles and hear the characters talk in the app.! I also love that the app lets your chI'd pick a fun character for their profile and it'stores all temperature data for your chI'd'so you don't have to remember! This is truly the best thermometer I have seen on the market.”
“Our favorite thermometer! Works super quick and is accurate. I love how it connects to the app and helps me keep track of temperatures and what time I have meds. My husband and I share the app so we can stay on the same page.”
“I really like kinsa brand thermometers. I've found it's rather difficult to track temperatures of two sick kids with a traditional thermometer & another one I have gives inaccurate readings. Kinsa is pretty consistent and gives accurate readings, which is very important. This, and the ability for it to log readings for both of my kids is super helpful with sharing with their pediatricians so I'm not guessing on what their temps were & when I took them. I have one of Kinsa?s original thermometers that I received at a baby show. I love that it connects to my phone & makes it'super easy to track temperatures. I want to upgrade to one of their newer models, when I can fI'd one in stock. I'definitely would recommend snatching one up if you can fI'd it!”
“I initI'lly received this thermometer with the phone jack when it first came out, but when I upgraded my phone, I no longer had a phone jack. I loved my old Kinsa so much that I upgraded to the Bluetooth version when my youngest was born.
I love the connectivity and the advice that comes with the app whenever I take my kids' temperature. It is really good at easing my concerns especI'lly because it asks for all of their symptoms in addition to the temperature. I'did fI'd my old one ran cold, but this one seems to be "true."
The only con is that sometimes I fI'd the technology to be a little bit finicky, and it won't turn on or sync with my phone. I have found their FAQ support page to be helpful, but when we're in the mI'dle of temping a fussy kid, it's frustrating.”
“The app was great, connected to my phone and gave helpful tips, suggestions for what to do for a temp for a baby at a specific age, etc. However, I had trouble with the reliability of the thermometer. I was getting inconsistent readings and ended up switching to a cheaper non-fancy thermometer to not have to worry.
However, I bought my thermometer in 2017... the newer ones I've heard great things about! I'd give it a try again, because the ease of having it all in one app would be awesome. EspecI'lly for tracking temps over time, medications, etc. Also having the cute characters for my toddler on the screen to keep him focused and not freaking out about the thermometer!”
