Gram Scales

[indigo]

I am wondering if anyone has any feedback / reviews of the Salter 7lb stainless steel kitchen scale (model 1015) that they sell at Linens and Things. I am considering getting this to, primarily, track my babies weights - make sure they are gaining.

I don't have any experience with that particular make or model, but does it have gramms on them? If so that should be fine.
Here are the ones I have; they are brilliant, come with the T perch and a flat base.

I've seen that one, and it is just too expensive for me. Yes, this one does have grams, up to 7 pounds, and is digital. I found a dial one for about $6, but I have ot question its accuracy being so - erm - affordable.

Yeah I would stay away from the really cheap ones, I had a very cheap pair, when I was trying to get Bucc used to them and the only time he stepped onto them he weighed nearly 6Lbs He'd been playing with them and that was it.

I'm sure I knew a site that did very good priced scales, I'll have a look through my files.

I know a few people who swear by the scales from here.

Peta, I looked and I can get a similar scale here without the wait or shipping.

Then I would go for that, I keep forgetting you are in Canada, bet when you do move, that'll be the time I think of you in Canada.

haha probably. Even though living in the US can be allot higher (and will be where I am going) everyday things tend to cost less which kinda makes me feel better about it.

 

[Peta]

Yeah I know that feeling, where I live "South" EVERYTHING is VERY expensive.

I use a similiar Salter scale for my Fid. Well worth the money. It's a great investment. The scales also travel well. The only thing to look for with a Salter is that grams are measured in individual increments (eg, by the gram).

Also good for dealing Coke on the side to pay for the scales.

You can measure coca-cola on a gram scale? What type of diet forces that?
