We bought this back in 2008 to help track our breastfed and slow-to-gain weight daughter's growth. We loved being able to compare her measurements at home rather than guessing and estimating and waiting till her next appointment.As she grew, she loved standing on it and asking how much she weighed, then dancing around shouting "I'm heavy as a boulder!".She's finally outgrown it at the 44 lb. maximum now at age 6, but this sturdy scale lives on. It's absolutely fantastic for weighing packages for things we've sold on eBay and elsewhere -- no waiting in line at the Post Office to pay for shipping labels, we can just weigh the packages and print 'em up at home in confidence.Pros:- It turns on and zeroes itself quickly- I like that you can turn it off rather than using up extra battery time while it times out- Our daughter thought it looked like Mickey Mouse which made it fun to stand on (some additional decoration with dry-erase markers encouraged that, too)- a fabulous second life as a postal scale!- it's taken a lot of jumping on, banging, being dropped, and other misadventures and still does an accurate job- exact enough (to the 1/2 oz.) for almost everything we've ever used it for, from child to packages :)Cons:- it's a little heavyGuess that's it. A sturdy, reliable, great little scale and quite reasonably priced.Update 2021: 8 years later, this scale is still a champ. We use it to weigh packages mostly, and it's quick, accurate, perfect!

This scale saved me countless trips to the pediatricians for our preemies who had trouble gaining weight. It is very precise, has the option to "tare" so I didn't have to strip my little babies down to their bare skin. I just placed a diaper and sleeper like the ones they were wearing on the scale and hit "tare" to zero the scale with this amount of weight on it then put the baby, who was dressed in a diaper and sleeper, on the scale. Because my babies hardly ever held still I would push the "hold" button and that would tell me what they weighed. As the babies got bigger we were able to remove the tray on the top and use the typical scale under the tray for them as they were toddlers. We bought this scale nearly four years ago and it is still working, with the same batteries!PROS: Easy to use, compact scale with use for infants and small childrenCONS: You have to find a place to stash the green rubber plugs that are for use after the infant stage. (And remember where you put them.)CARE: None aside from wiping down with a lysol wipe from time to time to keep clean. This has not affected the electronics.

I've only had this scale for a couple of days now, but I love it so far. We use it for monitoring the weight of our baby boy.I tested this against one of those really expensive scales at the doctor and it gave basically the same weight. The one at the doctor office has a resolution of 0.1lbs, while this one's is 0.5lbs. We first weighed our kid at home using this scale, and it sort of went back-and-forth between 9lbs 7.5oz and 9lbs 8.0oz. We then went to the doctor and weighed him and the expensive scale showed 9lbs 7.7oz. You can't get much closer than that.Some other reviews of this scale complain that it's hard to read because the weight shown fluctuates a lot. For me, I thought it was just fine. The baby wasn't doing jumping jacks, but he wasn't sitting still either. And the weight shown does move around a little bit as the little guy wiggles, but I didn't find it difficult at all to read the weight. I could imagine that if a baby is pitching a fit and flailing, it might be a little tricky to get an accurate reading, though.It's nice that the readout for pounds is pounds and ounces (e.g. 9lbs 7.5oz), whereas some other scales just show decimal pounds (i.e. 9.47lbs). Obviously it also has an option to output kilograms, for you people from those backward countries :)The battery compartment was a little shallow for the 9V battery that I had. Had to push a little hard to get the cover back on, and it bulges a little bit, but I don't think it's a big deal. I imagine there's some variation in 9V battery size, or maybe I put it in wrong. It doesn't seem like a problem, though.

La báscula ha durado 4 años, funciona perfecto para pesar bebés y niños pequeños, ya que se remueve el portabebé. Muy precisa y fácil de usar en casa.

While likely not as accurate as the ones used by the Doctors, it is overall very useful to have and simple to use. Very sensitive too. It picks up the weight of a swaddle wrap. It needs a single 9 volt battery, which you have to buy yourself.I was worried about our recent new born who had lost over 10% of her bodyweight. And she didn't seem to be gaining as fast over the following 2 weeks since birth. But by checking with this, it definitely motivated us to keep going at it with the feeding (mainly spooning milk in between feedings).I'm happy to say, it definitely helped push us over the edge for our daughter gaining weight as recommended and milk now producing better as one of the days, her weight actually went down, so we really blitzed it after a lower weighing which really helped turn the corner. It also took the anxiety out of the Dr. Visits and relying only on them to measure the weight.

No da peso más de 20 kilos es muy buena solo que si tarda en dar el peso exacto por el. Movimiento del bebé

Works great! Easy to use! Perfect for keeping track of my babies weight gain. I have used it for weight before and after a feeding to gauge how many ounces my daughter ate while breastfeeding and it seems very accurate. Only thing different about this scale to ones in our health offices is that the scale doesn't average the weight so the numbers change anytime baby moves, which is what the hold button is for but if you hit it while they squirm you can freeze it on a much higher weight than they actually are.
