MX282 Opti-PED Infant Scale
A pediatric exam station that measures the weight and length of neonates to toddlers in one position. Place the infant on the tray, then slide the two paddles into place to read the length.
- Capacity of 60 lb (27 kg), with 10 g accuracy
- Digital length from 9 to 39 in (23 to 97 cm), without moving the infant
- Weight and length stay on the screen after the infant is lifted off
- Arrives assembled and runs on 4 D-cell batteries, about 1 year always on
Weight and length, without repositioning
The weight appears as soon as the infant is on the tray. Guide the two paddles into place and press the paddle button: the length appears.
MotionLock calculates the weight of active babies. The tray has a gently sloping front, for easy access to the infant.
The no-touch console keeps weight and length on display after the infant is removed. Lock the units you use: kg, lb or lb and oz, and cm or inches.
The optional TBL282 table has a 24 × 48 in stainless steel top, four sliding drawers and a 35 to 36 in working height for the tray.
Built into this scale
ECO Weigh batteries
Standard D-cell batteries last a long time between changes, so there is no cord on the floor and no outlet to find.
Hands-free weighing
A console setting lets the scale weigh without anyone pressing a button, which keeps hands off shared surfaces.

Befour shows how the infant’s weight and length are taken in one position.

Questions about the MX282
What weight range does the MX282 cover?
Befour designed the MX282 Opti-PED for neonates to toddlers, with a capacity of 60 lb (27 kg). The sheet gives a resolution of 0.01 lb / 0.01 oz (0.01 kg). The infant lies on an acrylic exam tray of 39 × 18 × 12 in (99.1 × 45.7 × 30.5 cm), with a gently sloping front for access during the exam.
How does the MX282 measure an infant’s length?
The infant stays in the same position for the weight and the length. Guide the two paddles into place, press the paddle button, and the length appears on the display. Befour gives a range of 9 to 39 in (23 to 97 cm) and a resolution of 0.1 in / ⅛ in (0.1 cm), in decimal centimetres, decimal inches or fractional inches.
Does the MX282 keep the reading after the infant is lifted off?
Yes. Befour states that all measurement values stay on the display after the infant is removed. The display console is “no-touch”: the weight appears as soon as the infant is on the tray. The scale runs on 4 D-cell alkaline batteries, with a battery life of about one year, always on.
How is the MX282 different from the MX202?
The MX282 weighs and measures length digitally, up to 60 lb (27 kg), with a resolution of 0.01 kg on its sheet. The MX202 has no digital length measurement: its removable cradle has a visible length ruler. It weighs up to 20,000 g (45 lb), reads to 1 g up to 10,000 g (22 lb), and Befour lists it for diaper weighing.
How much does the MX282 scale cost?
