From the fashion house that brought us the unforgettable ads and the "United Colors of" campaign comes....a baby/kid thermometer?? I know, it doesn't make sense but if you're looking for a stylish thermometer in orange and blue (my son's favorite colors), look no further. Yes, Benetton has made its way into the lucrative baby/kid market with a temperature-reading gadget that looks, well, great. (Benetton does have a baby/kid line and a maternity line worth looking into, I have to say). I think it's interesting to see this kind of thing coming from a European company known for its clothes. This thermometer has the usual bells and whistles that digital thermometers of its kind usually come with: the Fahrenheit and Celsius measurements, the quick one-second reading, the easy-to-read, large LCD display and an automatic shut-off. What I do find particularly intriguing in the design, however, is its ability to take forehead temperature readings along with readings via the ear. Don't know how accurate that can be, but I can't seem to recall seeing a thermomenter that does that.
