This is a really good scaleJun 16, 2006
By Gadgester
"No Time, No Money"
I agree with the others: this is really a great scale for weighing babies and pets.
First of all, it's very accurate. Of course, as with all digital scales, if you put the weight on and then take it off and then put it back on again, you won't get the exact same reading twice. It's just the nature of digital scales (somethign to do with variations in the inductive current). But with this scale the variations are small.
Two features really make this stand out: the hold feature and the zero-out feature.
"Hold" allows you to weigh a baby or pet that moves around a lot. When the subject moves in the tray, the scale will register different weight readings (because the point of impact changes). By pressing the Hold button, the scale takes an average of its readings over the course of a couple seconds. This average is usually more representative of the subject's true weight. This is just a great feature, as any parent or pet owner can attest.
The Zero-Out feature is great for weighing babies. Babies wear diapers. Also, when you weigh a baby, you shuold put a blanket on teh tray because the plastic tray is hard and cold. After you put a blanket and a diaper on the tray, press the Zero Out button and the scale resets the 0 point so when you weigh the baby, his or her true weight will show up on the LCD. This saves you the hassle of having to subtract the blanket-cum-diaper weight yourself. This even allows you to weigh the baby with clothing on; just pre-weigh and zero out the extra weight first.
I love this scale. I just hope it lasts for a long time. BTW it's good for weight up to 60 lbs. As the baby grows into a child, just remove the tray (held by a single screw) and the child can stand on the scale.

Scale used for weighing catsOct 10, 2005
By H. W. Simpkins
I don't know about babies but this scale works very well for weighing large cats, some of whom are interested in going somewere else. The reading will shift around a little as the cat moves and the feature to lock the reading is very helpful. Compared to a kitchen scale that reads in 5 gram increments, it appears to be accurate. The scale seems solidly built. I haven't had it long enough to talk about long term durability.

Great ScaleJul 12, 2005
By D. Warren
"datl"
We recently received our scale and are very happy with it. It seems to be well made and has some nice features. We especially like the zero out ability so that we can put a blanket under the baby and still get an accurate weight. In addition the hold button allows us to get an correct weight on our squirmy toddler by averaging the last few readings. The day we received it my son had a doctor's appointment and this scale read the exact same weight as the one at the doctor's office. Well worth the money.

 An accurate scale even for littliesSep 15, 2007
By nial_l
We used this scale to relieve our anxiety about a little one's weight gain. We found it to be very close to the doctor's scale, and for our peace of mind it has been worth every penny.
When weighing babies keep in mind that a baby's weight does not increase every day, and also may vary within a day by a few ounces.
Many digital scales (and for that matter, most consumer-product digital measuring devices including thermometers) do not actually measure the same precision as their markings - for example, thermometers marked in tenths of degrees may provide a reading within 1 or 2 whole degrees of the temperature - which is completely pointless when one needs to track small variations! Happily, this scale seems to provide consistent measurements within +/- one-half ounce.

Great Pet ScaleMay 24, 2008
By Kitty Mommy
I have a cat that suddently stopped eating on its own. I need to track its weight daily. This scale is perfect for my needs, as it weighs in 1/2 ounce increments, and the hold feature makes it possible to get an accurate reading on an animal that really doesn't want to be there! It also gives the same reading as my vet's scale, so I am confident of its accuracy.
