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. See More

Add Video or Image

Top Pro

Battery lasts long even with regular use

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. See More

Top Con

Has to be tilted at an awkward angle to make full use of the LED light

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. See More

Top Pro

Has a built in emery board for smoothing your baby's nails

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. See More

Top Pro

Has a built-in light that helps you cut your baby's nails after bedtime

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. See More

Top Pro

Has grips for added safety

The clipper has bumps across its surface, allowing you to firmly grip it. This prevents the clipper from accidentally slipping and hurting your baby. See More

Top Con

Baby's nails are sharp after cutting

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. See More

Top Pro

Scaled to fit baby fingers

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. See More

Top Pro

Minimizes eye strain

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. See More
