The age-precision colour coding is the part that earns its price, because a fever threshold is not one number -- what is a mild temperature in an adult is a clinically significant one in an infant, and the device applies the right threshold once you set the age.
Full details →Who the Gaiam Zafu Organic Cotton Meditation Cushion Pillow is for
Buy it if: Anyone sitting to meditate who needs the seat height matched to their own flexibility.
Avoid it if: Anyone wanting a light, packable cushion -- buckwheat fill makes this heavy.
Who the Braun No Touch + Forehead Digital Thermometer is for
Buy it if: Households with children of different ages, where one fever threshold does not fit everyone.
Avoid it if: Anyone who wants a single-purpose device -- the mode switching adds steps to a simple measurement.
