Infant and Baby Scales
A baby’s weight is a vital health indicator; it is one way to measure an infant’s progress and objectively monitor development. Whether an infant scale is needed in a hospital, office, clinic, or if parents want to track growth and progress at home, Vitality Medical has a wide range of pediatric scale styles from which to choose.

Types of Infant Scales
There are several types of baby scales, including digital baby scales and mechanical infant scales.
- Mechanical baby scales: These types of scales suspend babies and use hanging slings to support them while measuring weights. Another mechanical scale style uses a balance beam to determine the baby’s weight, which is similar to standard physician scales.
- Digital baby scales: Digital infant scales are designed to sit on top of tables and measure the babies’ weights. If there is not a convenient table available within an office or facility, compatible rolling carts, such as Seca’s Mobile Cart for Infant Scales, are safe options. Other optional features are stadiometers and height rods, infantometers, and carrying cases.
- Diaper scales: Diaper scales offer easy-to-use, precise ways to track fluid from wet diapers. These types of scales are important measurement devices to measure the fluid output of infants down to the ounce.
Vitality Medical also carries other infant measurement devices that may be helpful for diagnostic purposes, such as growth charts, that are used by medical professionals to determine an infant and toddler's growth percentile.
Choosing a Baby Scale
Vitality Medical makes it easy to choose the right baby scale with dozens of available options from which to choose. Some considerations when choosing the right infant scale include:
- Mechanical baby and newborn scales are ideal for increased accuracy readings with the use of a classic beam scale.
- Infant digital scales feature simple readouts that are easy to read. The Seca 374 Extra Large Baby Digital Scale features an easy-to-read digital display. This battery-powered digital scale accommodates infants and toddlers in seated or prone positions and has high walls for safety.
- Hanging baby scales are mechanical scales that utilize a sling design. These are ideal if surface space is limited or for when users need both hands free to record a baby’s weight.
- Diaper scales are designed for measuring the amount of waste in a diaper for diagnostics purposes.
