 Good, but some design problems - there are better clippers out there May 10, 2010
By Mad Max
We've tried 3 or 4 different infant nail clippers. This one has its pros & cons.
I was excited about the magnifying glass, but it doesn't help. It's cheap plastic, gets fogged/scratched easily, and doesn't really magnify much.
Also, there is no guard on the clippers to prevent cutting skin or the quick. The best infant clippers, in my opinion, have a guard to prevent cutting too much.
The biggest design flaw in this is that the pin keeps falling out - and it almost impossible to get back in (I've had to do this twice). If you own (or are buying) these clippers, do yourself a HUGE favor - put a dab of superglue or even clear nail polish on both sides of the pin (at the head of the clippers). It is not welded in there or attached in any way - it will definitely fall out after use.
Finally, we found NO clippers that work for babies younger than 2 months. Don't bother looking - you just have to bite off the nails with your teeth. After 2 months, we used a variety of clippers (different ones for fingers, toes, thumbs, whether she's asleep or moving around, etc).
I also use the First Years Red Cross Sure-Grip Nail Clippers. They have a guard & are safer to use. But you have to read the instructions (or watch a Youtube on how to use them) - most people who have reported problems just haven't read the instructions.
The best clippers we found have a guard (like the Sure-Grip), but are a no-name brand we found at a church rummage sale.
Hope this information helps. Good luck!

Had difficulty using even w/ magnifying glass. Oct 23, 2009
By A. Fryar

THE GOOD:
*Works well for babies 2 months and older - Currently works really well at clipping my baby's nails (9 wk old baby).
THE BAD:
*Magnifying glass is irrelevant - I was really looking forward to this product because of the magnifying glass feature but surprisingly it didn't help that much in cutting my 6wk old baby's very small and thin nails (at the time).
*Not for newborns - IMO, This nail clipper is best to use after 2 months of age.
*Suggestion for change in product design - Not sure if it's possible for the makers to do this... but, I think making it so the cutting blades set position is much closer together would be a good idea. It will reduce the time and effort spent trying to target the nail.. also make it easier to use on newborns.
OVERALL:
*I should have stuck with the baby clippers I got (part of a grooming set) as a gift which is virtually identical to this product minus the magnifying glass but it works which is why it gets 3 stars! :)

 The best clipper out there Jun 01, 2009
By T. Bruno
"Mom"
The clippers are very comfortable and I managed to trim my baby's nails with them. The magnifying glass is a good feature. I wish those came with a little light as well so I can trim her nails at night when she is sound asleep. But none the less these are good for it.
My baby is 2 months old and this is the first time I found a product that I can manage for the job.
I give it 5 stars.

best clipper hands down Feb 06, 2010
By A. Feldsher
I purchased these clippers when my first son was born and have used them for 4 years. The other reviewer is right - the magnifying glass isn't really any help. BUT, despite this, these clippers are FAR better than any others. They're worth the price without the magnifying glass. They're very easy to handle - feel natural in your hand - and sharp enough to cut nails yet designed so you can easily avoid cutting little fingers. I lost the pair I had and recently ordered the Safety 1st clippers which are horrible (difficult to handle, dull, stiff and don't clamp down easily). You'll be very happy with these clippers if you buy them.

 Wast of money! Apr 06, 2011
By Tiger
It is very difficult to and cumbersome to use and the magnifying glass is at an ackward angle and mostly in the way. It would be better to go to the 99cent store and get some reading glasses and use regular nail clipppers.
