Product Description
The Health-o-Meter HDC100-01 "Grow with Me" Teddy Bear Scale is a first-of-its kind consumer baby and toddler scale. As your child grows, the scale easily converts from a tray to a platform, making this a versatile and cost-effective device for weighing your child as he develops from a newborn to a toddler. The large, easy-to-read 1.2-inch LCD display is front-facing so reading the weight is a breeze. Also, for added accuracy with small children, the scale weighs in half-pound increments up to 60 pounds. Calibration is a snap with a "zero out" feature that allows you to adjust for the weight of clothing or a diaper. The scale can be operated with or without the tray. When using the tray, make sure that it is securely locked into place before placing your baby on the scale. Simply lay your baby on the tray and read the display. To use the scale without the tray, you'll need to remove the tray by turning the locking nut clockwise. The tray is replaced by four rubber plugs and a supplied plastic cover tab. Once the cover is in place, hold your baby upright on the scale, and place the baby's feet so that the weight is evenly distributed. Of course, everyone knows that a baby rarely holds still. Health o Meter has an answer. If your child is moving, press the "Hold" button to lock in the correct weight. This function displays the baby's average weight for the time period.

Large 1.2-inch LCD display. View larger. | The large, easy-to-read 1.2-inch LCD display is front-facing so reading the weight is a breeze. Also, for added accuracy with small children, the scale weighs in half-pound increments up to 60 pounds. Calibration is a snap with a "zero out" feature that allows you to adjust for the weight of clothing or a diaper. This scale is powered by a replaceable nine-volt battery (not included), includes a growth chart to track height and weight against national averages, and it is backed by a five-year limited warranty. Operating the Scale
Place the scale on flat, level surface. A hard surface, such as a tile or linoleum floor, is the best for maximum accuracy. If the scale is placed on a soft, deep rug, then it may not produce accurate results. Once the scale is placed on an appropriate surface, press On/Off and wait for the display to show zeros. If the display shows "0:0", the scale is set to pounds/ounces; if the display shows "0.00" the scale is set to kilograms/grams. Press the lb/kg button to select between pounds or kilograms. The scale can be operated with or without the tray. When using the tray, make sure that it is securely locked into place before placing your baby on the scale. Simply lay your baby on the tray and read the display. To use the scale without the tray, you'll need to remove the tray by turning the locking nut clockwise.

This is a really good scale June 16, 2006

I agree with the others: this is really a great scale for weighing babies and pets.
First of all, it's very accurate. Of course, as with all digital scales, if you put the weight on and then take it off and then put it back on again, you won't get the exact same reading twice. It's just the nature of digital scales (somethign to do with variations in the inductive current). But with this scale the variations are small.
Two features really make this stand out: the hold feature and the zero-out feature.
"Hold" allows you to weigh a baby or pet that moves around a lot. When the subject moves in the tray, the scale will register different weight readings (because the point of impact changes). By pressing the Hold button, the scale takes an average of its readings over the course of a couple seconds. This average is usually more representative of the subject's true weight. This is just a great feature, as any parent or pet owner can attest.
The Zero-Out feature is great for weighing babies. Babies wear diapers. Also, when you weigh a baby, you shuold put a blanket on teh tray because the plastic tray is hard and cold. After you put a blanket and a diaper on the tray, press the Zero Out button and the scale resets the 0 point so when you weigh the baby, his or her true weight will show up on the LCD. This saves you the hassle of having to subtract the blanket-cum-diaper weight yourself. This even allows you to weigh the baby with clothing on; just pre-weigh and zero out the extra weight first.
I love this scale. I just hope it lasts for a long time. BTW it's good for weight up to 60 lbs. As the baby grows into a child, just remove the tray (held by a single screw) and the child can stand on the scale.
Scale used for weighing cats October 10, 2005

I don't know about babies but this scale works very well for weighing large cats, some of whom are interested in going somewere else. The reading will shift around a little as the cat moves and the feature to lock the reading is very helpful. Compared to a kitchen scale that reads in 5 gram increments, it appears to be accurate. The scale seems solidly built. I haven't had it long enough to talk about long term durability.
Great Scale July 12, 2005

We recently received our scale and are very happy with it. It seems to be well made and has some nice features. We especially like the zero out ability so that we can put a blanket under the baby and still get an accurate weight. In addition the hold button allows us to get an correct weight on our squirmy toddler by averaging the last few readings. The day we received it my son had a doctor's appointment and this scale read the exact same weight as the one at the doctor's office. Well worth the money.
convenient baby scale August 9, 2005

It is a very convenient baby scale and easy to read the readout. However, the surface is too hard for a soft baby head. It has a zero out function and a towel is placed for placing the baby head. Other than that it is a very good scale. Even after 30% discount, the price is still much higher than a household scale (around $30). If you really want to track your baby's weight, that is worth it. My little dinosaur has an acid reflux and needs a close monitoring of his weight.
Perfect for squirmers August 12, 2007

I bought this to weigh my cat, who has trouble keeping weight on due to a chronic illness, and who also hates to go to the vet every week just to be weighed. Given that he is a cat, I definitely needed the Hold feature, which allows the scale to take a weight reading even if the occupant is shifting around. The display is easy to read, and the scale bed is the perfect size for a cat; it's also easy to wipe off. Finally, it's light and fits easily in the bathroom cabinet under the sink. Have used it weekly for months now and am totally satisfied.
