Summary:Infant weighing platform 2 comprising a tray 4 for accommodating the baby and a frame 6 having, in use, a tray-contacting side 26 and a ground engaging underside 28. The underside comprises a central recess 30 and one or more downwardly extending portions 24 offset there-from and configured to spread the weight of the platform evenly about it. When the platform is placed on a weighing surface of a scale (52, Fig. 2), the central recess envelops the weighing surface and the portion(s) protrude there-from. The tray may be demountably attached (e.g. via lugs 54 and apertures 56) and the frame may consist of two variable-height struts forming an X-shape (38, Fig. 5) allowing the platform to be flat packed. A rigid elongate lever (72, Fig.6) may support the platform (e.g. at the mid-point) and rest on scales (52, Fig.6) at one end; thus extending the weight-range of the platform.
