 Best monitor void |

| I researched several different types of monitors before deciding on this one. I am beyond satisfied with my hold. The passage sensor is incredible. We have not had any fake alarms. I know it works since the notification alarm (one beep) will go off 10 seconds after I take the baby out of the crib if I forget to turn it off. This monitor helps me sleep sound consequential that my baby's breathing is monitored. I reckon I would be getting a whole lot less sleep if not for this monitor. I read a review of it that said "If you are the type of person to get up and check all the locks before you go to bed, you need this monitor." That is the one that sealed it for me. I can't say enough excellent things about it. The range is incredible. We tested it all the way into my national's patch. It never dropped signal. I highly, highly recommend this product. |
A small price to pay

First a small social class on myself and the condition this product is supposed to help preclude. I've worked in the medical field for over 20 years and I've had the misfortune to treat well over a dozen SIDS cases. One of the huge knocks you'll see hostile to this product on other review sites is that it will do nothing to preclude SIDS. Such reviews are usually followed by a personal tale about how the reviewer had a child who died from SIDS or they had a friend who had a child who died of SIDS, and that they were told by the doctor that there was absolutely nothing that could have been done to save the child...that even if they had been there to witness the child stop breathing, that the child still would have died. I'm sorry to have to break this to everyone, but that's simply untrue. All of us in the medical profession, from doctors to nurses to paramedics, are taught in our basic training to tell parents this. I've told parents this countless times myself. Parents are by now mournful enough when they lose a child, the last thing they need is to spend the rest of their life thought they could have done something. The truth is that if someone had been there at the moment the baby stopped breathing, something MIGHT have been able to be done to save them. We just don't know since every case is different. Remember that SIDS is a diagnosis of exclusion. It's not a disease or other pathological process that "shuts down all the vital organs one by one" (as one reviewer claimed). What this means is that if a baby under 1 year ancient dies for no other identifiable reason, they're automatically stamped "SIDS," case closed. A excellent number of babies who die of "SIDS" are said to die from some unexplained sudden apnea, whether it be too many blankets smothering the child or whether the baby simply "forgot" to breath, as some doctors believe. If a child suffers some sudden period of apnea, a person who is there at once MAY be able to save them owing to waking the child or owing to mouth to mouth breathing. That is medical fact based on years of investigate. Sickbay don't use $5000 infant apnea monitors for no reason. If they did no excellent no one would use them. This product, when used correctly, functions as a very suitable apnea monitor, and at a cheaper price.
All that is my way of saying we like this monitor. With my medical social class and having witnessed the tragedy of SIDS many times, I'm hyper paranoid when it comes to our new daughter. I'll do anything and spend any amount of money to make sure I've done all within my power to keep her safe. This product gives us peace of mind and allows us to sleep a small better at night. We've had no fake alarms so far and the sound quality seems just fine. The night light gathering is pretty cool too. My only complaint would be it's not the simplest thing to set up initially. Sit down with a cup of coffee and be set to play with a lot to get it working just right. |
Must have

| I would tell every new mother to make sure to buy this product. It works fantastic. The monitor itself is awesome. I like the temp. component. I now know that my baby sleeps best at 73 degrees and this helps me keep her pleased and warm. I also sleep much better at night now. Each time I take her out of the crib..it gives me a notification beep and then the alarm sounds. It definitly picks up on breathing passage even when she is on the edge of the crib. A small price to pay for a small more peace of mind! I want to tell all my friends to buy this monitor. It makes so much more sense than the video monitors. If I had only known about it sooner, I would have bought it when she came home from the sickbay. |
I like this monitor!

I like this monitor! I am a NICU mom who's first baby came home on a medical grade apnea monitor for apnea of prematurity. This product is the next best thing.
This monitor is surprisingly insightful to the slightest passage. I have it under a mattress, mattress pad, fitted mattress sheet, waterproof mattress cover, AND an inclined sleep positioner! The information were very clear and the device was very simple to set up. The range on the receivers (parent devices) is brilliant even in the 'dead zones' of our house where our cordless phones don't work. The receivers not only give very clear sound but also show the temperature of the room. The receivers also have a sturdy small clip on the back so you can clip it to your shirt and walk around hands free. Oh and the receivers give you a notification when the batteries start to go, it beeps once every 15 seconds or so. I also like the small night light figure on the transmitter. It's bright enough that you can see several feet pretty clearly but not so bright to light the whole room. The wires that join the pad (that goes under the baby mattress) to the transmitter are a decent length so you don't have to worry if you want to set the transmitter on a high bureau near the crib. The receivers hold their charge for a long time and use rechargable batteries (included with the product). The settings are adjustable and its simple enough to turn facial appearance on or off but I left the factory settings which work very well.
It is a very expensive monitor but SIDS scares me silly. Having experienced my first son nearly dieing but for the apnea monitor (he was discharged from the NICU with an apnea monitor) telltale us that he stopped breathing, I needed the next best thing for my second (my 2nd is a full term baby). I highly recommend this fantastic product (for full term babies, of course use a medical grade apnea monitor for wee ones who need them) despite the excessive cost. In my humble opinion, if you have concerns about SIDS then this monitor is worth every penny. |
WONDERFUL piece of mind

I am a new mom and a small paranoid. Before we got this monitor I was up all the time read-through on our son to make sure he was breathing. He slept so like a log that it was hard to tell. With the monitor I can sleep like a log too consequential that the alarm will let me know if he isnt ok.
We use it in his pack n play and it works fantastic.. just placed the pad on a piece of wood. |
