Top 10 best Baby Weight Scale 2022 For Cost Saving

Nearly did not buy this scale because its Amazon page erroneously claims the “scale accuracy” is 0.1kg and that’s almost a full 1/4 pound! That would make this scale worthless for my purposes. Fortunately the SELLER clarified in one of the Q&A’s that the accuracy is instead 10 grams; giving me something specific to work with that also sounded more realistic. But how does 10 gram accuracy translate into something useful to understand when using the scale in one of it’s three weight-measuring modes: fractional kg’s; fraction lb’s; or lb-oz’s with fractional oz’s?Here’s what I calculated and then observed: 1st by mathematical calculation and 2nd by using the scale to see if my calculations were accurate. In other words, does the SELLER’s claim of 10 gram accuracy agree with what happens when I use the scale? First the calculations:10 grams = 10 g / 1000 g/kg = .01 kg10 grams = 10 g / 454 g/lb = .02 lb10 grams = 10 g / 454 g/lb x 16 oz/lb = .35 ozThese accuracies all sound reasonable and “accurate-enough” for my purposes (if verified by scale use) for accurately monitoring the weight of my beloved senior kitty named Bootsie (bless her sweet heart)! I plan on tracking her weight by weighing her in fractional lbs on this scale.When I put Bootsie on the scale it was pretty easy to get a reproducible weight of 7.14 lbs. The scale readings fluctuated between 7.14 lbs 7.16 lbs and 7.18 lbs and very rapidly at times. Seems it spent more time at 7.14 lbs and when I finally pressed the HOLD button it went to 7.14 and stayed there. Pretty good.Something interesting to note is that I never saw fractional lbs displayed other than “even” numbered 1/100th lb increments of XX.X0 XX.X2 XX.X4 XX.X6 and XX.X8. No “odd” numbers allows two digits to the right of the decimal point! The calculated accuracy of 0.02 lbs matches my experience using this scale.The scale-modes of measuring weight in kg and lb-oz allowed all numbers 0 – 9 in the digits to the right of the decimal point (not restricted to only even numbers like before). The fractional oz readings however alternated in increments of .03 oz and .04 oz. This is expected because I calculated the accuracy to be .035 oz and this is in the middle of .03 oz and .04 oz: .030 < .035 < .040. Placing Bootsie on the scale I saw the following fractional oz readings: 7 lb- followed by 1.9 oz 2.3 oz 2.6 oz 3.0 oz before settling down to a recordable reading.I placed a 1 pound package of unopened dry spaghetti on the scale and read 1.00 lb (see photo). I also placed several beauty bells on the scale and got readings close to their 3 lb, 5 lb, 8 lb and 10 lb weights; but I'm confident the beauty bells themselves are not true to their designated weights. So this test was not very helpful. Better to weigh food products to test your new scale.When I placed the 10 pound beauty bell on the center on the scale I recorded a different weight than placing it off-center. Not surprising especially using a focused weight like a beauty bell; just a reminder to center your baby or pet on the scale's weigh surface as best you can. Interesting to note that the recorded 10 lb weight was heavier when off-center than when centered.I did more tests around the 7 lb to 8 lb because of Bootsie's current weight. I have to say I like this scale. My favorite test was done using the 3 lb and 5 lb beauty bells. The 3 lb weight read 2.96 lb on the scale while the 5 lb weight read 5.04 lb. Placing both weights on the scale at the same time the scale read 8.00 lb. This was reassuring because 2.96 + 5.04 = 8.00 (see pictures).I’m happy with my purchase given this is an inexpensive scale. Do scales costing 5 times more work better? I don't know. Maybe or maybe not. Probably. But any scale with 10 gram accuracy is going to be “finicky” about the surface it’s setup on and when weighing objects like babies and pets that don’t stay completely still will always be a challenge. This is a very light weight scale. I would expect more expensive scales have metal components and weigh more than this scale. I’d also expect that a heavier scale weigh-deck would have a dampening effect and reduce the amount of sporadic readings when weighing a moving baby or pet. Just a guess.My biggest disappointment is not exactly the fault of this scale. I specifically picked a scale that had a large footprint about the same size as its weighing-deck. A popular alternative are similarly all plastic light weight inexpensive scales that have a large removable weigh-deck that is placed on top of a much smaller base footprint. I didn’t want this alternative for a couple of reasons I won't go into here. But after using my new scale I do see the advantage of having a smaller footprint. The large footprint of this scale can make it difficult to find a flat enough surface to use it on. Always check that all 4 feet of the scale are simultaneously in contact with your work surface. Do that and I think this scale will get the job done.

COMUSTER Digital Pet Scale,Baby Scale Digital, Pet Scale, Infant Scale with Hold FunctionInfant Scale with 3 Weighing Modes(lb/kg/oz) and Height Track(23.6inch), 220lbs, Precision at ± 0.02lb,WhiteI got this to weigh my cats. It has worked out well enough for that. I don’t have another scale to test and see how accurate it is but it seems reasonably close to how much my cats weigh at the vet. The scale isn’t the most stable thing though, so you’re going to have a tough time weighing pets that put up a struggle.The product information is a bit strange with multiple pets photoshopped on it and a bunch of kids standing on it. It is not that big. It can handle a cat or a small dog. The platform can be taken off so it can weigh someone standing on it. The platform won’t hold a full sized corgi. Honestly, the product info is ridiculous.Other reviews mentioned that when assembled, the platform is not sturdy. I didn’t have any problems with it but it would have made more sense if the platform wasn’t two pieces that have to be assembled. I can see how some might have problems with it.Overall, it’s not bad and has served its purpose well enough. The price seems reasonable and it seems accurate enough.

I purchased to monitor my grandson who was a “failure to thrive” baby that was born with health issues. Weighted him right before GI visit and it’s accurate to the 0.01kg! MD was impressed and told me to weigh weekly and report, which avoids a pediatrician visit weekly for his weight checks!!!

Item can in as described. Would not use for a infant/toddler scale. More functional for a pet scale. Great quality and would by again.

I wanted to know if our baby was gaining real weight instead of what I thought I saw in her chubby cheeks. Purchased this scale and weight her the morning of her doctor’s appointment. The scale and the weight at the doctor’s office were almost identical. This scale said our baby weighed about 1 ounce more than the doctor’s scale. Since then, we’ve weighed her weekly and the readings have been steady. I recommend if you have a breastfed baby and want to check their weight gain.

I’m not one to write many reviews, but I just had to in this case. I purchased this scale for my daughter who had a premature baby who was having a hard time gaining weight. He was in the NICU for 35 days and was born at 6 lb. 4 oz., just to leave the hospital at 7 lb. 1 oz. After getting home and comparing his weight with the scale at his pediatrician’s office, it is accurate (only 1/10th of an ounce off). The bluetooth capability to keep track of his weight is also advantageous. My daughter needs to keep careful track of his weight daily as she works to help him grow. I recommend this baby scale without any reservations. Thank you Greater Goods!

I like that the scale is lightweight, has a measuring tool on the weight and is slim. I also like that you can easily change the weight units.I bought this scale to do weighted feeds with my two month old who is struggling with breastfeeding. At two months old, she does not like being put down on her back and she flails, so the scale takes a little while to give a reading. Sometimes after a reading, I get the same weight even though I know that’s not correct. So, I will take her off and try again, and sure enough I get a different number. I am not sure how accurate the weight is, however, it gives me a good estimate.I did weigh both my cats on this as well and they loved the rounded shape and didn’t mind laying on it.If you are looking for a scale to get a round about weight, this is an excellent choice. If you are looking for something more exact, you may need to look elsewhere.

This scale does the job and saves us from having to go to the doctor every few days/week for newborn weight checks (obviously unless there’s an issue). For that alone, it more than makes up for the cost – which is reasonable for such a helpful device. My only complaint is that setup is not the *most* straightforward for the hormone-addled, sleep-deprived mind of a new parent (ok, this is our sixth baby, but the exhaustion is the same, maybe worse than with a first baby). It took an embarrassing amount of time to figure out how to connect the tray to the base and – I’ll be honest – at first it seemed like a good idea to use the sticky glue on the bottom of the key instead of turning it sideways, which is, of course, logical to anyone without a one-week-old. Anyway, happy with the purchase. Tiny gripes with assembly for the new parents for whom this product is intended.

I foster cats from the local shelter. Because I often have to give medications based on weight, i needed an accurate scale. I ordered another brand that only had a manual hold feature. I had to guess when I thought the weight had settled and then press hold. Every time the cat even breathed, the weight changed, so that was pretty useless.A friend, also in cat rescue, recommended this scale. She’s had hers for years and has been extremely satisfied. I’ve been very pleased, too. This scale automatically settles, taking the guesswork out of when to press hold. The tare feature allows you to weigh a pet/baby in a carrier and subtract it from the total weight. This scale weighs in lbs, ozs and kgs, which was important since most med doses are given in kgs, bur sometimes in lbs/ozs. Last, but not least, it’s easy to clean.For my needs, this scale is perfect. I highly recommend!

use for our new baby and our older kids. especially love that it gives the option for weight in pounds and ounces so we can track the weight gain of our baby. we had a homebirth and used it right after baby was born!
