Kinsa - QuickCare Thermometer - Blue

This marks 9 years of parenting under my belt, with 3 kids ages 2, 5, and 9. Over those years we have gone through so many colds, the flu, RSV and hand foot and mouth disease. I have spent so much money and frustration on trying to get an accurate temperature on small cranky kids, relying mostly on how they felt by hand. I figured the easiest route was going to be an expensive temporal thermometer, but the wide range of readings I got quickly shattered that hope. I have to admit that I have seen these Kinsa smart thermometers in the store and just figured it was another gimmick and walked right past. Now after finally receiving one I have to eat my words. The Kinsa app is so convenient and easy to use and is packed with tons of information. I got it synced with my phone and set up for each family member in less than 5 minutes. Each family member has basically their own chart, with times, dates, symptoms including duration and severity and what to do next (home care, Dr, urgent care or ER). The box says 8 second reading so I tried it on my 2 year old with an under arm reading, and felt the result was actually very accurate with no need to account for the route the reading was taken. I also was afraid that it wouldn’t want to work without opening the app first, but it worked just fine and it must have been in range of my phone because I had an alert of a new reading and just had to add it to the proper person. The only downside was the it didn’t come with any probe covers. I am definitely glad I finally got one and it’s much better than I could have imagined! Thank you weeSpring Parent Panel for sending me this smart thermometer to try and review.

I received the Kinsa Quick Care Thermometer through the Stellar Panel and I have been grateful and recommending it as a must have ever since! This thermometer is so easy to use as it is comfortable and quick enough for a squirmy 3 year old all the way up to his busy parents and all ages in between. The accompanying app is so easy to use and takes less than a minute to set up for your entire family. Temperature readings are accurate and accompany a quick visual to let you know when to worry. The best part is with the app that lets you add in symptoms to factor in with the temp and then suggests what you should do - call the doctor, don’t call the doctor, hydrate and wait etc. the app keeps track off all your temps so you can compare and go back to check on when the last temp was. I LOVE having this thermometer on hand for my crew!

I'm a new mom, well, my son is now 3, but this is the one product that I now buy as a gift when I go to any baby shower. A good thermometer is something you don't think of with all the other products you need as a new parent, but this is a must! The QuickCare is super easy to set up and logs all temperatures and symptoms inputted in the Kinsa app. This is super helpful when the doctor asks when symptoms/fever started. But what's cool about this little gadget is that you don't HAVE to use the app if you just want a quick temperature.. (but you'll want to because the app is fun to use.) I LOVE that the app gives medical guidance on how to soothe symptoms depending on temperatures/symptoms inputted. It offers peace of mind for an exhausted, worried parent. Plus, you can put the app in "Sesame Street" mode and assign different characters to each family member. Elmo's voice helps to give your child a little smile when they're feeling sick. This is a must-have for any medicine cabinet.

I am really into the kinsa quick care thermometer for my two kiddos. I mostly use it for my youngest (now 10 months) and bought it right before she was born. We have used it under the tongue, axillary, and rectally (with the baby) and of course rectal Reading seems to be the most accurate. Reasons I love it: - it’s easy to figure out how to use. - it’s compact and the thermometer is flexible (because squirmy babies, hello!) - it has an easy and simple to use app to keep all the recordings and data AND in the app you can add multiple users to record temperature. - easy to switch back and forth from Celsius and Fahrenheit - it seems to be pretty accurate and it’s durable

When I first received this product, I downloaded the Kinsa app which was very easy and quick. At first I didn’t think I would need the app but once I navigated through the app and saw all the tools that were available, it is a must. It keeps track of past temperatures, symptoms, meds, how to soothe symptoms, how to cure symptoms and even coupons. I was also able to make profiles for each of the members of my family and keep track of symptoms, temperatures and meds. The thermometer was very easy to use and easily connected to my phone. It took my kids temperature in 8 seconds and even had a game where they can pop balloons while they waited for their temperature to read. The thermometer is small enough to keep in a pocket and comes with a case so it’s easy to have on the go. The only downside of the thermometer was that you can only use it under the tongue, armpit, or rectally. For my older children it was great but for my one year old, it’s easier for me to use the ear or forehead thermometer. I also use the ear or forehead when they are sleeping so I don’t have to wake them up which I can’t do with this Kinsa QuickCare thermometer. All in all, I would definitely recommend this thermometer and I absolutely love the app!! I was given this product to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel.

It is such a quick and accurate thermometer. It works well for the entire family and it can be used in multiple ways which is great! The app is extremely helpful. It keeps track of all past temperatures taken and even offers advice like when to visit a doctor. All around great thermometer.

This is my third purchase of this kinsa thermometer as I have multiple homes and wanted to have one for me and one for my spouse with Covid. Once you launch the app it is easy to put in your profile information and have the choice if you want to save the data. The best thermometer for everyone.

Works really quickly and the app is super easy to use. Pretty affordable for a Bluetooth, multi use thermometer. It’s really small, which is great, it just looks huge in the pictures.
