1. Your Baby Weighing Scale should have a big tray to support the baby
While purchasing a Baby Weighing Scale make sure that the tray that comes with the scale is big enough. Sometimes, to reduce the size of the scale, vendors use a compact tray. The disadvantage is that, if the baby wriggles in the tray, there are chances that the baby will fall out. That could be disastrous. At HSCo we give a minimum of 540 * 260 * 100 mm. make sure that your Digital Baby Weigh Scale has a tray, bigger or equal to this dimension.
2. Your Weighing Scale should have an Anti Drifting feature
Your Baby Weighing Machine should have a hold function. Whenever you put the baby in the tray of the Baby Weighing Machine, the baby will wriggle. This causes the Baby Weighing Machine to fluctuate in its reading. Hence, it is necessary to have this function so that the scale has a stable reading. Make sure that this feature is there in your Baby Weighing Machine.
3. Your Scale should have a tare/zero button
Your Baby Weighing Machine should have a TARE / Zero Button. In most cases whenever the baby is kept on the tray, there is a soft cushion or pillow on which the baby is kept. In such a case, the weight of the cushion or pillow has to be subtracted from the total weight. Instead of doing this manually, you keep the cushion or pillow on the Scale. Now press on the TARE/ZERO button and the scale reading will come to zero. Then put the baby on the Weighing Scale, the actual weight of the baby will show up.
