Accurate and easy-to-use
By Brazilian Jazzaholic!
I purchased this FAO Schwarz scale so I could track my infant daughter’s weight in-between her monthly pediatrician’s appointments. It was very easy to set up and use right out of the box; and within 2 minutes of opening the box, I was weighing my baby. The scale measures in half-ounce increments, which is plenty accurate for casual users like me. (Professional-grade infant scales can measure in increments as small as one-tenth of an ounce, but I don’t need quite that level of detail). The scale also has a “tare” function, so you can lay a blanket on it and re-set the scale to zero before putting your baby on it. (A nice feature if you’d prefer to lay your baby on a plusher/cozier surface without affecting the weight reading). What’s more, this item has a handy measurement stabilizer function, which enables it to get an accurate weight reading even with a squirming baby on it! It’s also convertible to a toddler scale, so I won’t have to buy another scale once my daughter becomes old enough to be weighed standing up rather than lying down. In addition, the scale saves the last weight recorded, so you can keep track of your child’s progress even if you’ve forgotten to write down your baby’s last weigh-in. (Sleep-deprived parents of infants tend to forget a lot!) The scale is also quite useful for getting an approximate idea of how much breast-milk baby is drinking, by weighing the infant before and after feeding. (The difference between the two weights equals the number of ounces of milk consumed). This can be very reassuring for breastfeeding moms who want to ensure that their little-ones are getting enough milk.
Overall, this item gets the job done, and at a $5-$30 cheaper price-point than comparable units on Amazon and elsewhere. Why pay more for another scale with virtually the same features? I’d recommend this item to any parent looking for an infant/toddler scale that’s dependable and user-friendly, without skimping on accuracy or essential features.

By Tara Pearce
The maximum weight is quite an important piece of information, I’m not sure why it was left off of EVERY website’s description – I spent an hour searching the web for it. I finally decided to order the scale since I get free returns for a year. I’m glad I did since the max weight is 100 lbs (highest of all the infant/toddler scales I believe) and so far I’m pretty happy with it. I found I get the most accurate reading placing the scale on the floor, but I haven’t tried it on a sturdy table (with a LOT of room) yet. It was extremely close to the doctor’s scale so I would say it’s quite accurate. Overall I’m quite happy with it – now hopefully with my review others will be able to find the max weight without spending hours searching! Someone should really fix that Amazon…

By The Queen
My husband and I were told by our Vet that we should purchase a scale for our “furchildren” so we could monitor their weights. 2 of them have a thyroid problem.. My husband picked out this scale and it works great. It wasnt expensive, its not heavy and its purrfect for what we need it for.. I highly recommend it…
