The scale we received was defective. Our heart sank when we put our baby on it--supposedly he had lost 3 of 11 pounds! Then I compared weighing a gallon of water and it was not only several pounds off, but it had a different reading every time I put the water on it (in the exact same place). The batteries shipped with the scale were dented so I also tried it with brand new batteries. Though a minor inconvenience, the display shows pounds with a decimal fraction or (optionally) total ounces, but not the typical measurement of pounds and ounces together. I'm not sure how this product is related to "Graco" because I couldn't find anything indicating it was made or sold by Graco.Too bad--it looked like a good deal at the time.
