Are no-touch forehead thermometers accurate enough for babies?

They are convenient but polarizing. Testing-oriented sources like techgearlab.com rate the better no-touch models as fast and easy, while high-trust threads in r/toddlers and r/ECEProfessionals repeatedly warn that forehead readings can run a degree or more off and vary by aim and ambient conditions. Most reviewers treat them as a quick screening tool rather than a definitive fever reading for infants.
