The Salter 914 Electronic Baby & Toddler Scale is a sturdy plastic scale with a large digital readout. It comes with a lock-in mechanism to secure the base to the platform even with the wiggliest babies.

The scale measures in half-ounce increments up to 44 pounds, and once your baby is standing you can remove the platform and have your child stand on the base for a weight reading.

The Hold function displays baby’s weight for 30 seconds after removing her from the scale, and the Zero funtion allows you to subtract the weight of a diaper or other clothing from baby’s weight reading. The scale runs on one 9-volt battery (not included), and includes an energy-saver off function to preserve battery life.
