Weighing Trousers (Product Code: SLE/AE/03) are pre-shaped fabric shorts with a long suspension strap that let a baby or young child sit upright while being weighed on a hanging spring scale. They carry children up to 25 kg, so a single pair serves from late infancy through the toddler years in growth-monitoring clinics, nutrition screening camps and household surveys. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a laboratory equipment supplier in India that also equips health and nutrition programmes.

The loop formed by the suspension strap is hooked onto the lower hook of the spring scale, the scale is zeroed with the empty trousers hanging, and the child’s legs are slipped through the two openings. The pre-shaped seat keeps the child upright and centred, so a wriggling toddler is far easier to weigh than in a flat sling. Because the fabric does not stretch, the load hangs steadily under the hook and the pointer settles quickly.
Mobile teams usually carry trousers in more than one set so they can rotate them during a busy session and launder soiled pairs later. Researchers sourcing lab equipment for research in India, such as nutrition survey teams, often pair them with a 25 kg spring scale so that every child under five can be weighed with the same set-up.

What is the maximum weight the trousers can hold?
They are made to hold children up to 25 kg. Check that the scale you hang them from also covers that range.
Which scales are they compatible with?
Any hanging spring scale with a lower hook, such as our 25 kg x 100 g and 5 kg x 25 g infant scales.
How long is the suspension strap?
Between 124 and 130 cm. It runs along both side seams from the leg openings, so the load is shared by both sides of the garment.
Are they suitable for newborns?
They are pre-shaped for a seated child. For a newborn who needs to lie flat, the weighing sling is the better choice.
How should they be cleaned?
The fabric is designed to be easy to maintain. Launder regularly and let the trousers dry fully; ask us if you need specific washing guidance for your programme.
