Very handy and convenient when cutting baby nails. I buy 2 for my 2 babies for safety design.

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!

We received these clippers as a gift and they have been really wonderful. The handle is comfortable and I feel I have a better grip when clipping my son's nails. I wish they made grown-up nail clippers with this kind of handle. They lose a star because the magnifying glass is useless, the baby has to be perfectly still for it to be of any use.

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.

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! :)
