This clipper collects nail clippings with its built-in nail catcher, eliminating the need for clean-up afterward. It can then be cleaned by removing the yellow piece and pulling the green lever out.
The built-in nail catcher makes the Whale bigger than the other nail clippers. Because of its size, it is prone to slips which may cause you to hurt your child.
Most 5-star reviews on Amazon talk about how long-lasting the battery life is. Even with regular 2-3x a week use, the battery life may last you for a year.
The Safety1st comes with an emery board that you can use to smoothen your baby's nails with, after cutting. The clipper has a slot where you can insert the emery board to make sure you don't lose it.
A small LED light automatically turns on when you unfold the nail clippers and shuts off when you close. This helps you cut your baby's nails after bedtime when it's dark inside the room and you can't turn the lights on or the baby will wake.
The built-in LED light is positioned below the cutting surface. It does not help that much to get the nails in between the cutting blades unless you tilt the clipper sideways a bit.
The stainless steel clippers are specifically scaled to fit baby fingers. This means you can clip your baby's nails without cutting the flesh on the sides.
This clipper has a small magnifier that you can use to see your baby's nails more clearly. Having this feature reduces the strain when you squint your eyes to see. It also gives new parents confidence in cutting their baby's nails.
The stainless steel clipper's cutting blades are too sharp. Your baby's nails end up too sharp after cutting and you might need to file them with an emery board to smoothen the edges.
