After going through two ~$50 digital scales that gave wildly different readings from one weighing to the next, we got fed up and decided to try the LifeSource.I'm very glad we did.This scale is both consistent and accurate.Consistent in that you can step on it ten times and you'll get the same reading every time.Accurate in that we compared our weight on it to the calibrated scale at our pediatrician and got exactly the same weight.Knowing weight down to the tenth of a pound is nice, if a bit overkill for most people's needs.However, there is one area where this is really useful (and we've used it a lot for this purpose): if you are new parents and want to track the weight of your infant, this scale allows you to do that easily.We've been tracking our son's weight from birth to almost six months (next Wed) this way.
The trick to using this feature is to tap the "on" switch, and step on the scale before it registers a weight.Then one parent stands on the scale and is handed the infant.The scale will only measure the infant's weight; the parent's weight will be taken as part of the baseline.Once you try it it's an extremely simple method, and every time we've done it and then had a follow up exam at the pediatrician, the results have been spot on as mentioned before.Keep in mind that this scale is a whole lot cheaper than a dedicated infant scale, and more versatile.The only real downside is that a very squirmy kid (as ours is nowadays) will take a little longer to get an accurate reading than a calm one, but nothing is perfect.
It's a lot to spend for a scale, but, assuming it lasts a while (it seems well built and I expect it not to die any time soon), it's worth having something that just works as you expect it to.New parents: this is one purchase you might not get at a baby shower, but is well worth it for piece of mind.Plus, it looks pretty slick ;)
