Question
where can i find hospital cribs with a built in scale

Answer

Dear Kathy,

Thank you for your inquiry.  According to our research, hospital cribs with built in scales are a recent development and not available for wide distribution to the general public.  That being the scenario, we do not have any in our inventory and we are unfamiliar with where they can be found, if able to be found at all.  Nonetheless, we are working our channels to eventually have this equipment in our inventory.  Until that time, might we suggest you investigate your options in:

• Hospital Cribs
  
• Infant Scales

If we can be of further assistance or if you have additional questions, please call our customer service department at 1-877-706-4480.

Thank you,
