Is it safe to fully insert the probe in the ear of children and babies?

Yes, the probe is too short to reach the eardrum. The ear canal of babies and small children is smaller than the probe of the thermometer so it can not reach the sensitive parts of the ear. Pull the ear as explained in the instruction manual and gently insert the probe into the ear. When you feel resistance from the ear, don’t push any further and maintain the position.
