We bought this nail clipper when our first child was a baby, and were quite pleased–the bulb end is so easy and comfortable to hold, worked great until she was about school age, when her nails were tougher. When baby #2 came along, we had lost the clippers in the course of moving. I never appreciated how something so seemingly trivial as baby nail clippers can end up so important–but after buying and throwing away two other nail clippers, that were so hard to hold and which couldn’t even cut through the baby nail cleanly or with ease (this is one job you need the right tools for–it is hard enough to cut those eensy nails on flailing hands, but to need more than one try to get the clippers to bite through the nail, it makes the job near impossible, at least without reducing your baby to screaming). I could not find these clippers at our local Target-like stores, nor at the drug stores. So I ended up getting a pair online–and having realized how uncommon good clippers are, I bought five pairs at once, so I could give them to new parents as shower gifts!

And that second pair we bought, I should add, is now cutting nails on its fourth child, and is still sharp enough! Definitely the must-have baby nail clipper.
