Baby Safety
Bath Thermometers
Don’t just stick your elbow in – now a range of baby safety temperature thermometers and indicators is available that are quick and easy to use, and in attractive designs and shapes. Simply dip the thermometer into the bath water once it is run.
Bath Thermometer
Each safe unbreakable liquid crystal thermometer spans temperatures from 25°C to 60°C and shows when the water temperature is too hot or cold, because a tick appears when the water is just the right temperature.
Anti-Scald Gauge
In addition, check that your boiler hot water temperature is not too scalding hot by using an Anti-Scald Gauge. This is a temperature indicator which you put into hot water run from your hot tap. It will show if your hot water is within a safe temperature range, therefore if it is too hot, it will potentially be able to scald, (and also increasing your heating energy bill).
Bedroom & Nursery Thermometers
It is important to ensure that your baby does not get too hot or too cold. To reduce the risk of cot death, temperature control while a baby is sleeping is particularly important, therefore the ideal room temperature for a baby is 16° to 20°C. A liquid crystal room thermometer from our range of baby safety temperature thermometer and indicators is ideal, because it provides a safe and accurate way to monitor a baby’s room temperature.
Room thermometers are large, easily visible and quick to read, but they also carry a list of useful safety advice about reducing the risk of cot death and caring for your baby. Available with °C or °F thermometers, on a laminated board backing.
Cot Thermometer
The patented Sleep Thermometer from our range of baby safety temperature thermometer and indicators, constantly monitors the temperature beside your baby when sleeping.
Our innovative Babysafe® Sleep Thermometer has been designed to help ensure that new parents and their babies are offered the best opportunity of a safe start in life. Simple safety temperature measurements are important, obviously giving peace of mind to new parents and carers.
LCR Hallcrest’s unique Babysafe® bedroom thermometer clips easily to a cot rail, so it is a world first in advanced British-made monitoring technology for the safety of babies. Developed with the latest generation liquid crystal temperature reactive technology and has therefore been designed to display an accurate safe temperature, so it can warn if the room becomes too hot, night or day.
Moving Line
Next, it has an integral red LCD moving line, which moves clearly and visibly along a scale. It therefore allows temperatures to be quickly and easily monitored by a parent.
The Sleep thermometer has been cleverly designed to sit as close to a sleeping baby as possible in order to accurately monitor safe sleeping temperatures. We know that temperature has been recognised as a contributory factor in the occurrence of ‘cot death’ so it is important that babies do not get too hot, or indeed too cold. The ideal room temperature is 16°C-20°C.
This new Babysafe® thermometer requires no batteries or mains power and is covered by Patent number GB2516289.
Feeding Safety
Temperature Reactive Feeding Spoon
Feeding can be a time of anxiety for new parents and carers, trying to ensure that food is the right temperature and not too hot to scald a baby´s mouth.
For example, baby meals are often heated using boiling water or a microwave and overheating or hot spots is a common problem. Using the unique Safety Feeding Spoon from our range of baby safety temperature thermometer and indicators, will show you at a glance if the temperature is too hot to safely feed a baby. Designed to change colour, the spoon will turn from blue to bright pink if the temperature becomes too hot. The spoons are reusable, washable and unbreakable.
Fridge Thermometer
A fridge should be set at 5°C or below, but many fridges are set too warm, particularly in summer. Ensure baby foods and milk are stored safely at a correct chilled temperature by checking and using a fridge thermometer. Liquid crystal fridge thermometers are unbreakable and quick to read.
Bottle Thermometers
Our Feeding bottle thermometer ensures a safe and comfortable feeding temperature for your baby, so this should be around 37°C.
Fever Thermometers
Thermometers to check a baby’s temperature
When at home or travelling, an infant or child´s temperature can quickly change. Therefore, having a Liquid Crystal Fever Indicator at hand is a safe and trouble free way to monitor body temperature. A fever can be quickly and accurately detected with minimum discomfort and stress.
Available in a 6 temperature version, indicating from 35°C to 40°C, or alternatively showing every 0.5 degree C. Usually packed in a clear protective sleeve or box, with an instruction leaflet.
In addition to our standard forehead thermometers, from our range of baby safety temperature thermometer and indicators, we also have our new ‘moving line’ thermometer (L320-100), which moves along the scale to show detailed temperature readings in both °C and °F with a moving yellow line.
This technology is now used to monitor temperatures in hospital operating theatres. Place on the forehead in the usual way and read the temperature, then the centre of the yellow line indicates the correct temperature.
UV Safety
Ultra violet from the sun and its damaging effects are now an increasing concern for all. No one is more at risk than children and even one serious sunburn experienced by a child can create the risk of skin cancer later in life.
UV rays penetrate through cloud, consequently with just as much potential to burn skin. At higher altitudes or beside water, the effects of UV rays are much increased, however, by having a UV indicator, from our range of baby safety temperature thermometer and indicators, is a good reminder to check UV. Obviously a sensible addition to any summer’s day or holiday!
The UV card and UV watch indicates the level of UV exposure and provides a simple way to check this. A UV sensitive area on each will change colour becoming darker as UV levels increase.
