Maternal and child health nurses who want a baby scale that never needs charging or a power point will find this mechanical model ready every time. Sliding weights move smoothly along the beam, and the reading is taken by eye with nothing to interpret.
The weighing tray curves gently so the baby settles into it and stays put through the process, and the surface wipes clean between infants. The reset to zero function lets you deduct a nappy or a blanket before the baby goes in, so the figure you record is the baby alone.
The finish resists scratches and knocks, which suits a scale that gets carried between clinics and homes. There is nothing to fail electronically, so it keeps working in settings where power is not reliable.
