How to Choose the Right Nail Clippers For Babies

Unlike adults, babies need to be carefully selected for their various utensils, not to mention nail clippers. Nowadays, baby nail clippers are mainly divided into three types, they are "scissors type", "pull rod type" and "file type". So how do you choose the right one for your baby? Let's take a look.

What are types of baby nail clippers?

✔️Scissor nail clippers

This "scissor type" is the most important baby nail clipper for cutting their nails. Baby nail clippers are safe because they have rounded tips that won't hurt your baby's fingers. Moreover, you can freely adjust the cutting range.

Advantages: Newborn nails are thin and soft, so this "scissor type" is the best choice because it can check and cut your baby's nails bit by bit.

Disadvantages: Adults usually use "lever-type" nail clippers, so the disadvantage of "scissors" is that it is difficult to operate unless you are used to it. When using it for the first time, please cut carefully. Once you get used to it, you can trim your newborn's nails smoothly.

✔️Lever nail clippers

The "lever-type" baby nail clippers that adults often use. This mini nail clipper is structurally more suitable for cutting larger areas than "scissors", so it is not suitable for cutting small new nails. In general, newborns seem to use "scissors" nail clippers a lot, turning to "lever" as they get older. When buying "leverage" nail clippers, be sure to check your target age (age in months).

Advantages: The advantage of "lever type" nail clippers is that adults can also use them, they are used to pinching, and they are easy to cut. Nail clippers can be done in less time than "scissors", which is also a big advantage of baby nail clippers.

Disadvantages: The disadvantage of "lever type" nail clippers is that they are suitable for cutting a wide range, and it is easy to get deep nails accidentally. In addition, it seems that some babies are worried about the loud "click" sound when cutting their nails and don't like the nail clippers.

✔️Korean mini file

"File-type" nail clippers adjust length by scraping, not cutting, nails. Currently our new Korean file mini is perfect for parents who are afraid of clipping their nails. Some "rasp types" are powered, and some can be used as adults with replacement attachments. Also, since the accessories that should be used vary by age in months, please check the description section for your target age before use.

Advantages: Unlike the other two, it does not "cut", so its high safety is the biggest advantage of the "file type". Plus, you can sharpen your nails while checking their condition, so you don't have to worry about getting too deep. It can also be used for cross-section cleaning after using "scissors" or "lever" clippers.

Disadvantages: The disadvantage of the "rasp" is that it takes time to clean the body of the file and the nail clippings that fall underneath. It also usually takes longer than cutting, which increases the chances of your baby getting tired in the process. When cutting nails with a "file", it is best to try to do it while your baby is sleeping.

The above three kinds of nail clippers have their own advantages and disadvantages, and you can choose freely according to the age of your baby.
