Title: Balance is more suitable for older kids
Review: I ordered this balance for my 2 year old niece and nephew, but have found that it is not suitable for them at all. While I realize that the scale is designated for kids 3 and up, I don't imagine it is suitable for a child under 6. First, the buckets that hold the material being measured fall off of the base very easily. Second, the buckets do not move very far when there is a significant difference in the weight of the two buckets. The kids cannot discern the point of the scale for that reason. I had hoped that they would be able to put say, 3 blocks on one side and 2 blocks on the other and then be able to see that the two blocks side went up. That is not possible with this scale. The buckets have mL marks, which I suppose would be very helpful if the kids were in elementary school learning the metric system.
Is the review positive or negative?
