Customer Reviews of Health o Meter HDC100-01 "Grow with Me" Teddy Bear Scale for Babies and Toddlers
Customer Review: Baby Scale Review
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using this product for about a month and am extremely satisfied with the functionality and quality. The scale has a zero-out function that is very useful for weighing our newborn with a blanket and/or diaper intact. The hold feature works well and gives consistent results. This button averages out the weight of the baby over a short time period (1 or 2 seconds) and allows me to get a consistent reading of weight, even when our baby is fussing and moving around. One two occasions, fluid in the "baby-holder" portion of the scale leaked through a screw down into the base. I had to turn the base upside down to drain the fluid, but it apparently did not damage the functionality of the unit.
Customer Review: Perfect for my needs
Summary: 5 Stars
My baby lost too much weight starting out and was slow to gain it back - we initially rented a scale from a lactation consultant but at a cost of $5 a day it wasn't an effective long-term solution. This scale was perfect - we didn't need something accurate to the tenth of an ounce - just something to let us know if the weight was going up adequately. The zero-out feature was great for factoring in the weight of a diaper and a onsie, and the "hold" feature was great for a wiggling baby. The price was awesome as well - some of the scales we looked at were anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars, and this one has the added benefit of being able to grow with our child to use when he's a toddler as well!Customer Review: I highly recomend this scale.

I like to weigh my daughter each month to see how much she weighs. I didn't want to have to keep bringing her to the dr and pay all of those co-pays just to have her weighed. I went online and searched for baby scales and I really liked this one. But it costs so much more on other sites. Some sites have this priced for over $100. So when I came across it on this website for a lot less I bought it right away. It's even better than I was hoping. It's so easy to use, the cradle will hold the babies weight, it's very sturdy, and it's really cute too. I'm so glad I got this. I recomend this to anyone who is thinking of getting it. It's worth the money.Customer Review: Great scale for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this to roughly estimate my daughter's intake when we were encountering milk supply difficulties. It helped assure me over a period of a few months that we were improving. I initially rented a much more accurate and expensive scale until I knew we were doing better then purchased this so I could keep tabs in general. (Note: if you have milk supply difficulties please see a lactation consultant for assistance.)
It was easy to use when she was an infant. Now that she's a toddler it's hard to get her to stand still on the base unit so I've actually packed this up and stored it until she's less squirmy.
Customer Review: Accurate scale
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this to weigh both my newborn and toddler on. It is very accurate and we like it a lot. We got ours for $60, I guess the price went up a bit. The only gripe I have about this scale is that it is hard to figure out my toddler's weight because he moves so much and the weight reading doesn't stabilize. I've seen some baby scales with an "averaging" feature -- the scale will rest on a number and the number will read out on the screen. My active 2 year old moves so much that the numbers bounce up and down and it is impossible to know his actual weight (unless he is calm - a rarity)
