The Salter 940 is both an accurate baby scale and toddler scale. Simply remove the comfortable, securely fitted weighing baby tray to turn this into "bear face" design toddler scale. Weighing is more fun and more accurate for the toddler or the baby. Makes a fantastic shower gift for under $100.
Weighs up to 44 pounds (20kg) by .5 ounce increments (10g)
Hold function to give you accurate reading even if baby is moving about
Extra large 1.2 LCD readout

I bought this scale to weigh my cats as I have one that is 14 lbs and should be about 8 lbs (adopted her at that weight). I also have 5 others that I want to monitor their weight to keep them healthy. The cats are pretty good at staying on the scale and it registers quickly to get a weight; some of them love to lay in it. It appears to be very accurate as the weight did not fluctuate when I weighed them several times. I have only had it about 2 months and only use it about once a month so cannot attest to its long-term reliability but it seems like a good product to me. Since a half a pound is a big deal to a cat, I wanted something to give me ounces and be accurate and it seems to do both.

Nice scale, incorrect specifications, April 4, 2004

We're happy with the scale, but it turns out that it measures in 1/2 ounce increments, not in 1/4 ounce increments as claimed on this web site. When displaying the weight in kilograms, the smallest increment displayed is 0.01 kg, which is 0.35 ounces. Still not quite 1/4 ounce. Otherwise, it's a fine scale, well built and sturdy, and very handy to have.

We had originally purchased a cheaper scale that was not digital. I used it a few times and it was very hard to get an accurate reading. I took it back and bought this one instead. It is wonderful! It automatically sets itself to zero when it's turned on. If you want to weigh the baby with a diaper on, you can weigh a spare diaper and the scale will off-set to make up for the additional weight. It's amazing to see how fast my son is growing. It does convert to a toddler scale when the child is able to stand.
