Maximum capacity of the scale
As you can see from the list above, each scale has its own maximum weighing capacity. It will depend on how long you want to weight your baby, but its always advisable to pick one with the highest weighing capacity. In this case we can recommend baby scale multi-function baby/toddler scale.
Who is to be weighed
Whether you want to weigh your baby, toddler or pet, there is always a baby scale that will work for you. Some can be used to weigh babies, toddlers, adults and still pets. But others can weigh babies only. Some baby scales are well designed such that they can be converted to a standing scale when your baby outgrows. Such are the best as they grow with your baby.
Battery operated.
Battery operated baby scales are the best. This is because, if you are using power scales, the cord can be a nuisance. Cords are also dangerous as the baby can play with them or even fall because of them. Baby scales can use one or two batteries for a very long time. So, durability of the batteries shouldn’t worry you.
Tare function
This is a function which can aid you in getting accurate measurements. It is used to ignore or deduct the weight of the baby diaper or baby blanket and only give you the baby’s weight.
Non-slip bottom
The bottom of the scale should be non-slip. As you know most baby scales are usually placed on top of the table. Non-slip feet will prevent the scale from moving which can even injure the baby. Mostly it should be made of rubber.
