The Health-o-Meter HDC100-01 "Grow with Me" Teddy Bear Scale is a first-of-its kind consumer baby and toddler scale. As your child grows, the scale easily converts from a tray to a platform, making this a versatile and cost-effective device for weighing your child as he develops from a newborn to a toddler.

Large 1.2-inch LCD display. View larger. |
The large, easy-to-read 1.2-inch LCD display is front-facing so reading the weight is a breeze. Also, for added accuracy with small children, the scale weighs in half-pound increments up to 60 pounds. Calibration is a snap with a "zero out" feature that allows you to adjust for the weight of clothing or a diaper. This scale is powered by a replaceable nine-volt battery (not included), includes a growth chart to track height and weight against national averages, and it is backed by a five-year limited warranty.
Operating the Scale Place the scale on flat, level surface. A hard surface, such as a tile or linoleum floor, is the best for maximum accuracy. If the scale is placed on a soft, deep rug, then it may not produce accurate results. Once the scale is placed on an appropriate surface, press On/Off and wait for the display to show zeros. If the display shows "0:0", the scale is set to pounds/ounces; if the display shows "0.00" the scale is set to kilograms/grams. Press the lb/kg button to select between pounds or kilograms.
The scale can be operated with or without the tray. When using the tray, make sure that it is securely locked into place before placing your baby on the scale. Simply lay your baby on the tray and read the display. To use the scale without the tray, you'll need to remove the tray by turning the locking nut clockwise. The tray is replaced by four rubber plugs and a supplied plastic cover tab. Once the cover is in place, hold your baby upright on the scale, and place the baby's feet so that the weight is evenly distributed. Of course, everyone knows that a baby rarely holds still. Health o Meter has an answer. If your child is moving, press the "Hold" button to lock in the correct weight. This function displays the baby's average weight for the time period.

 This is a really good scale, June 16, 2006
This review is from: Health-o-meter HDC100KD-01 Grow with Me Baby and Toddler Scale (Health and Beauty)
I agree with the others: this is really a great scale for weighing babies and pets.
First of all, it's very accurate. Of course, as with all digital scales, if you put the weight on and then take it off and then put it back on again, you won't get the exact same reading twice. It's just the nature of digital scales (somethign to do with variations in the inductive current). But with this scale the variations are small.
Two features really make this stand out: the hold feature and the zero-out feature.
"Hold" allows you to weigh a baby or pet that moves around a lot. When the subject moves in the tray, the scale will register different weight readings (because the point of impact changes). By pressing the Hold button, the scale takes an average of its readings over the course of a couple seconds. This average is usually more representative of the subject's true weight. This is just a great feature, as any parent or pet owner can attest... Read more

Scale used for weighing cats,
October 10, 2005
This review is from: Health-o-meter HDC100KD-01 Grow with Me Baby and Toddler Scale (Health and Beauty)
I don't know about babies but this scale works very well for weighing large cats, some of whom are interested in going somewere else. The reading will shift around a little as the cat moves and the feature to lock the reading is very helpful. Compared to a kitchen scale that reads in 5 gram increments, it appears to be accurate. The scale seems solidly built. I haven't had it long enough to talk about long term durability.

AWESOME INFANT SCALE! HAPPY AFTER MUCH TREPIDATION!,
January 1, 2011
This review is from: Health-o-meter HDC100KD-01 Grow with Me Baby and Toddler Scale (Health and Beauty)
So far we are very, very happy with this scale! For the last couple of months I had been shopping around for a scale to check our infant son's weight on a monthly basis. I was looking for a good quality item, with reliable calibration at a decent price ($75-$150). It took me a while to make this purchase for two main reasons. First, most of the scale reviews for these types of scales were from people who used them to weigh their animals, not babies, and I personally did not feel they were helpful for my needs. Secondly, some of the negative reviews, especially those noting very inaccurate readings, poor quality, bad customer service, horrible packaging, etc., made me nervous about making a purchase. Well, this scale came very well packaged, in a brand new retail box with directions and best of all, IT WORKS VERY WELL! After setting it up with a 9 volt battery and before weighing our son, I tested it by weighing a 3 lb. bag of apples, a 1 lb. bag of rice and a 5 lb. bag of bananas and...
