Product Description
Salter's 914 Baby and Toddler scale was designed with your baby, as well as the future in mind. Thecomfortable, rounded weighing tray fits securely to keep baby safely in place. And the "hold" feature keeps a steady weight in display even when baby moves about. The 914 also quickly converts to a toddler scale with the removal of the weighing tray. This scale allows you to track your child's growth from infant to toddler and will provide years of use. The scale with tray removed looks just like a Panda Bear, making weighing more fun! Weighing modes include pounds (lbs) and kilograms (kg). Max capacity is 44 lbs (20kg) with accuracy to 1/2 ounce (10g). The extra large 1.2" tall LCD makes reading the display super easy. Power is provided by one 9V battery (not included), and the auto shut-off extends the battery life even further. A 10 year Salter warranty is also standard. Hold Function Uses one 9V battery (not included) Dimensions L - 11.8, W - 21.6, H - 5.7 Net Weight - 104 oz 10 year warranty White

 Saltier 914 baby scale July 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
 Excellent choice for underweight baby July 9, 2008
Our one-year-old has "failure to thrive" (is underweight), and it was
driving me crazy to wonder if we would have good/bad news when we went to
the doctor to check his weight gain. Also, I needed a way to record how
many ounces of milk he gets from me when he nurses.
After reading the reviews here, I bought this scale, and I agree that it
seems very accurate for the money.
The scale comes almost assembled, but you do have to attach the baby tray
if you will be using it in that mode (or attach rubber plugs if you will
be using it in toddler mode). It requires one 9V battery, not included.
The scale's operation is very intuitive, and there is also a clear
instruction booklet. The materials seem mostly sturdy, but I did
subtract a star because it could have been less rough/plastic looking
if they had made the baby tray of the same chunky-looking style of
plastic, or something padded, as they made the toddler scale part.
The accuracy of the scale seems fine. I tested it with some household
objects with stated weights. For instance, I weighed a "4 oz (112 g)"
applesauce cup, and it came out as 4.5 oz and 120 g. This might even
be more accurate than promised (1/2 ounce) because of the weight of the
cup, which I doubt is included in the manufacturer's weight claim.
I have not yet had a chance to compare my son's weight at home with his
weight on the same day at the doctor's office, but I did do it within
one day, and the weights were within two ounces, which seems like it
could be a normal fluctuation due to how much water he'd drunk, etc.
My baby likes to sit in the tray, so it must be fairly comfortable. :)
CAUTION: For best results, use this product only on Planet Earth.

LOVE IT! July 7, 2008
I looooove this scale. I'm a third time mom and still have worries about how breastfeeding is going. This scale completely puts my mind at ease! I don't use it to find out how much the baby has eaten in a given feeding because the scale is not accurate for that. However, I weight my baby every morning to make sure that he's gaining an ounce a day and he is! It just makes me more confident that breastfeeding is going the way it should. I would recommend this scale to any breastfeeding mom to give her the confidence she needs to successfully breastfeed her newborn!
Used to weigh puppies June 17, 2008
The scale seems to do its job. It gives me a much larger area than my past scale to hold puppies. It does a pretty good job of getting the weight with a puppy squirming around. I'm sure it would work great for a child.
Very accurate, good quality June 14, 2008
I bought this scale for my infant son for the peace of mind knowing he was gaining weight properly. It's been great! Very accurate and easy to use and it grows with him so i can use it until he reaches early childhood. It could also come in handy for weighing pets, even food!
