1. Weighing Function (Manual)

• Purpose: To measure the baby’s weight manually.

• Specification:

  • Typically uses a mechanical dial or spring scale to show the baby’s weight.

  • Can weigh babies from 0 kg to 20 kg or more, depending on the design.

  • Requires no batteries, as it uses spring or mechanical parts to measure weight.

2. Mechanical Dial/Pointer

• Purpose: To display the baby’s weight in an easy-to-read way.

• Specification:

  • A dial or pointer on the scale moves as the baby’s weight increases.

  • Weight is shown on a scale marked in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lbs), depending on the model.

  • It has clear number markings so parents can easily read the weight.

3. Zero/Tare Adjustment

• Purpose: To allow for accurate weight measurement without any additional weight (like blankets or clothes).

• Specification:

  • A zero-adjustment knob is used to calibrate the scale before weighing the baby.

  • This allows parents to set the scale to “zero” even if there is a blanket or cloth on the scale.

4. Stable Surface

• Purpose: To ensure the baby stays in place and the weight measurement is accurate.

• Specification:

  • The weighing platform is typically flat and wide to accommodate the baby comfortably.

  • The surface may be made of non-slip material or have side supports to prevent the baby from rolling off.

5. Portable and Lightweight

• Purpose: To make it easy to move and store the scale.

• Specification:

  • The scale is generally lightweight, weighing around 2-3 kg or less.

  • Compact enough to store easily in a small space or carry with you.

6. Durable and Safe Design

• Purpose: To ensure the scale is safe to use for babies and can last a long time.

• Specification:

  • Made of strong, durable materials like plastic or metal.

  • Rounded edges or smooth surfaces to prevent injury while handling the baby.

7. No Power Source Needed

• Purpose: To function without batteries or charging.

• Specification:

  • The scale operates entirely on mechanical principles, so it requires no electricity.

  • This is useful for parents who want a battery-free option.

8. Weight Capacity

• Purpose: To ensure the scale can safely weigh babies of varying sizes.

• Specification:

  • Can weigh babies up to a certain weight limit, often 20 kg or more.

  • Check for weight limits to ensure the scale is appropriate for your baby’s current size.

9. Simple to Use

• Purpose: To provide a straightforward way to weigh the baby.

• Specification:

  • No complicated settings or buttons—just place the baby on the scale, and read the measurement from the dial.

  • Easy to clean with wipes or a damp cloth.

10. No Additional Features (Basic Scale)

• Purpose: To focus only on weighing the baby, without additional functions.

• Specification:

  • The scale may not have extra features like memory, app syncing, or digital tracking.

  • It's a basic, no-frills tool for weighing babies
