thanks for this hildda..... i am over due to deliver my bubs and really want a tempreture device/guage for when i return with my baby from hospital. do you suggest any other brands and / or stores???

I got mine from Mothercare in Central (but this was back in Feb '08).

Are you getting a baby monitor? Many of them will also have a built-in temperature gauge. (e.g. I have the Oregon Scientific one and the monitor in the baby's room will gauge the temp and it will show up on the parent monitor.)

I have a thermometer where you put the gauge in the baby's room and the temperature shows up on a separate display unit which you can move from room to room. This means that I can check the temperature without going into the baby's room and potentially waking up the baby. I bought mine from Oregon Scientific and I find it so useful!

There's an Oregon Scientific concept store in IFC mall. Here's the shop locator:

Btw, here's a product link for the baby monitor that I have:

Don't buy it!! I have a groegg and it's really unreliable and gives inaccurate temperature readings. Just buy a normal thermometer.

I use a Oregon JUMBO clock which I got from TKmaxx in the UK for19.99GBP (HK$300)

I saw the exact clock in the official Oregon shop in Shatin for HK$999!!!

thanks for this ladies....

i thought of the groegg because i hadnt seen much option. in truth - I JUST WANT A NORMAL ROOM THERMOMETRE like you used to be able to get years ago.

i am 40 weeks and 5 days so would love to buy one in central or soho area. i also dont want to spend a fortune.

anyway... thanks a million once again...

If you want a cheap thermometer which doubles up as a bath thermometer, can I suggest this. I've been using it from day one. http://www.boots.com/shop/product_details.jsp?productid=1052013&classificationid=1030281

If you want one, I can mail you one from the UK and you can pay me back after you've received it.

Hoi.

Hello, I second the person who said don't buy the Groegg.
Firstly considering how hot it is in HK (even with aircon) it will always be glowing red. Also mine broke after about 2 weeks and when I returned the ladies at B2B said that they have loads of returns!

Anyways B2B also sell a ear/forehead electronic thermometer which when you put it in it's stand it works as a room thermometer. I really like it - it's a french brand and cost around $279 - I forget the name sorry.
