Tanita developed the same proven, FDA cleared, technology for children.  Measuring body fat levels is a better method of assessing heath, and the effectiveness of lifestyle choices children and adults make.

The Tanita BF-689 is the ideal tool for parents and children to monitor weight and body fat levels at home. The LCD display provides weight and body fat percent, and the accompanying color coded body fat judgment indicators discreetly provide health level: blue = underfat, green = healthy, yellow = overfat, red = obese. And the auto recognition feature for up to 5 children means each child’s data remains private, and cannot be viewed by others. The Tanita BF-689 provides parents with clinically proven data to reinforce health lifestyle goals for their children.
