Community nurses and paediatric clinics need weights they can defend, and a baby scale earns its place by giving the same reading every time a child is put on it.
The AD-6020 from A and D is built for that work. The pan is moulded to hold an infant comfortably, and a cursor along the side lets you take a length measurement at the same visit without handling the child twice. Large characters on the display can be read from standing height, and the last reading is stored so you can recall it if the baby moves before you have written it down.
It arrives fully assembled and runs from the supplied mains pack or from batteries, which suits a clinician who weighs in homes as well as in rooms. The weigh pan lifts off for cleaning between children, and the scale powers itself down when it is left sitting.
