If you measure babies and toddlers as part of growth monitoring, the seca 416 gives you a stable board that holds the child in the right position while you take the reading. The trough shaped lying area has raised, softly rounded sides that guide the baby into a straight line, so the number you record reflects true recumbent length.
The foot piece runs on rollers along two permanently mounted guide rails, so it glides without binding and stays square to the scale. It locks in place once you reach the heel, which means you can lift the baby out and write the result down afterwards without losing the measurement. The scale is printed along the top edge for easy reading from where you are standing.
It suits child health clinics, paediatric wards and allied health rooms that measure the same children repeatedly and need consistent technique between staff.
