Portable Baby/Child L-hgt
The Portable Baby/Child L-hgt (Product Code: SLE/AE/012) is a compact fold-up board dedicated to young children: it measures the recumbent length of babies up to 24 months and the standing height of children from 24 months, across a 0–120 cm range read to 0.1 cm. Its metal measuring scale and adjustable feet make it a steady choice for child-growth clinics, early-childhood centres and paediatric nutrition surveys. The board is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a lab equipment exporter serving health and education buyers.

Typical Use
Children under two are measured lying down: the board is opened flat, the head is held gently against the fixed headpiece, the knees are pressed straight and the sliding wedge is brought firmly against both heels. From two years the board is stood upright, its adjustable feet are turned until it stands steady on the floor, and the child stands barefoot against it while the slide comes down to the top of the head. Locking the slide before lifting the child away lets the measurer read calmly at the marked arrow.
Because it is sized only for children, it is lighter to carry than a full-range board, which matters on long outreach days. Programmes putting together a lab equipment list for school or anganwadi health rounds often combine it with a child MUAC tape and a hanging scale.

Frequently Asked Questions
Up to what height can it measure?
120 cm, with 0.1 cm graduations. For taller children and adults, choose the 0–204 cm version.
Will it stand steadily on an uneven floor?
Yes, the foot/head piece has adjustable feet for stability on uneven floors in the vertical position.
What is the measuring scale made of?
Metal, integrated into the board and designed to be hard-wearing and readable in low light.
Is recalibration needed?
No. All parts have fixed positions, so the board does not require calibration, and it sets up without tools.
How accurate are the readings?
Accuracy and precision are both specified as ±0.2 cm.
How should the board be cared for?
Wipe it clean after each session, keep the slide free of grit so it glides smoothly, and carry it folded with the strap or handle.
Can you supply multiple units for a programme?
Yes, for institutions and distributors in India and international markets. Contact us with quantity and destination; warranty and delivery terms are stated in the quotation.
