The Passage Sensor with Sound Monitor detects your baby's slightest movements, even while she sleeps. While it may seem that your baby is without fault still when she is sleeping, she really isn't. An alarm will sound alerting you to check your baby only if she becomes absolutely still for 20 seconds and no passage whatsoever is detected. The under-the-mattress Sensor Pad detects your baby's slightest movements. If your baby goes absolutely still for 20 seconds, the Sensor Pad sends a signal to the Plant sales outlet Unit which sounds an alarm alerting you to check your baby. If you are out of the baby's room, the portable Parents' Unit (Sound Monitor) will pick up the alarm as well as other plant sales outlet sounds. In addendum, the Plant sales outlet Unit has an optional "tic" figure. If the Sensor Pad senses passage, the Plant sales outlet Unit will endlessly tick. If it doesn't, the ticking will stop. Your crib must have a hard flat go up. If it does not, just place a piece of masonite or a board under the mattress and place the Sensor Pad on top of the masonite and under the mattress. Be sure to place the right side of the Sensor Pad facing up. The Angelcare Passage Sensor will give you the peace of mind you won't get from just a sound monitor or even a video monitor. And, this monitor is an brilliant value. It is 2 monitors in 1 so you don't have to hold a sound monitor. The Passage Sensor with Sound Monitor includes an under-the-mattress Sensor Pad, a Plant sales outlet Unit, a Parents' Unit (sound monitor) and 2 AC adapters. It can also operate with 8 AAA batteries (not included).

| Tip #1 the sensor pad can not sit on springs so you'll need a thin board if your mattress doesn't sit on a solid go up. Tip#2 at first we thought we couldn't turn off the annoying clicking sound unless we didn't want the passage sensor on, we were incorrect, you can choose to have the monitor click every time your baby moves or breathes ( unfortunately it also clicks in the baby's room) or you can choose to just have the alarm sound if the monitor doesn't detect passage, no clicking. Tip#3 Remember to turn the monitor off every time you take your baby out of the crib or you may give your sleeping spouse the scare of his/her life!! Our baby doesn't seem to sleep very well in her bassinet and took to her crib really well but I couldn't stand it that I couldn't hear her breathing. This was one of the best buys we made. I didn't want to spend so much but it has been worth the peace of mind. Her room is just across the hall so I don't even need the portable monitor, we've tested the passage sensor and the alarm is loud enough to hear in our room. It's simple to test ( just take the baby out of the crib) Our baby is a very light breather and the monitor works wonderfully, a light flashes with each passage or breath she takes. The alarm sounds if passage isn't detected after 20 seconds.
I highly recommend this product!! ps it can be plugged in or you can use batteries. |

| I got this monitor as a gift from my mother. I was disbelieving about it at first. I had never seen anything like it or heard anything about it. Since my mother bought it, I felt obligated to use it. Now I can't thank her enough. It has been a life safer, literally. My 6 mo ancient daughter had stopped breathing one night and the motion sensor alerted us. We were sleeping. If it weren't for the sensor I would never have known. We've had fake alarms too, since she's a wiggle worm and scoots to the very corners of her crib. But I would rather get up every time the alarm sounds then not have an alarm at all. |
We Like it!

| We bought this same monitor as a Safety 1st Angelcare monitor for my granddaughter and wouldn't be without it. My daughter and granddaughter have lived with us until she is ten months ancient and I will be buying another one of these monitors for her backup crib at our home when she moves out. I was one of those who returned the first one I bought to the store since I thought it was defective, but I was single-minded to get the substitution to work and followed the instructions very wisely and found that I was the conundrum not the monitor. We have had fake alarms, and some not so fake alarms, and I will get up for as many fake alarms as it takes to be there when the real alarm goes off. The peace of mind this monitor
provides is priceless. If you buy one make sure you follow the instructions and adjust it properly and you will like it. My granddaughter was such a light breather as a baby that you could not tell if she was breathing, but the light on the Angelcare monitor was always able to show her slightest movements. We Like It! |
BUY THIS & GET SOME SLEEP!!

| What is peace of mind worth to you?... At a glance you can see that your baby is breathing since each time she breathes a small light flashes! You don't have to walk into the room and risk waking the baby up. Some people complain of fake alarms, and in the year we've had this item we've had about 4 fake alarms. The pad is quite small and if baby rolls into a crib corner, or just breathes very shallow (which they do from time to time), then the monitor will go off. It also chirps when the array is getting low, which will scare you but it's better than not let you know. Regardless, I'd rather have a fake alarm than no alarm when something is really incorrect. This is a reliable device, and as first time parents we were terrified that something might happen to her when were weren't watching. This is the best hold we've ever made. I certainly recommend it to all worried parents--which is probably most of us! |
Fantastic for the worrying parent

| Let me start off by saying, works flawlessly for my 4 pound 3 ounce son. What peace of mind it has given my wife and I, we can sleep. This monitor runs off a 46/49 mhz signal which is far less crowded these days due to everyone having all the long range 900 mhz cordless phones and 2.4 ghz cordless phone, 2.4 ghz wireless computer routers, and even microwaves ovens. It isn't a Precious stone clear silent monitor, but it has less static then some of the other 900 mhz straight baby monitors I've tried. Tale: My wife and I are on our second preemie child, the first was ten years ago when our daughter was born at 1 pound 11 ounces; she came home after 82 days at 5 pounds 2 ounces on a bradycardia and apnea monitor and caffeine. Our son was born at 3 pounds 2 ounces and he had done so well in the sickbay from day one that the doctors told us that he would be going home soon, without any monitoring system. My wife and I got filled with a lot of anxiety. When you sit in the sickbay for weeks and months day and night with continuous sickbay bradycardia (low/no heart rate) and apnea (low/no breathing) monitoring you get quite co-dependant on it. My wife had seen this device advertised in a baby magazine and questioned me what I had thought about its monitoring capabilities. I looked it up here on the Web and read all the reviews like you are doing now and was convinced that it was at least worth the[money] for a small peace of mind and we needed a baby monitor anyway. .... I was very disbelieving about it's sensitivity, well we bought it before our son was released from the sickbay, and I set it up in the crib between a piece of plywood and the baby mattress. I tested it out by just barely sad the mattress to mimic a very small shallow baby breath and it would detect it. "Incredible!!!" I thought. I could not wait to see how it would work for the baby. Well, after a $90,000 sickbay stay in the NICU he irrevocably came home after being in the sickbay for just over 28 days at 4 pounds 3 ounces, and the sickbay did send him home on a bradycardia and apnea monitor, the company `Healthdyne Technologies' that leases these sickbay grade bradycardia and apnea machines told me that they can be rented for $250.00 per month by anyone if protection wouldn't cover it. This machine attaches bottom your child clothes around a foam belt that raps around that chest area, this is really the only way of truly preventing SIDS, since SIDS can occur in a crib, bassinet, car seat, baby swing, day care center, babysitters etc, but isn't even 100% flourishing if there isn't anyone around to HEAR the alarm and RESPOND to `Rescue' the infant. We had our son sleeping in bassinet when he first came home with the BeBe monitor working and sickbay grade monitor. I was amazed how the BEBE monitor was half a second behind the bradycardia and apnea monitor. I figure it was probably in the lower grade receiving circuitry in the BeBe monitor. It would detect all but the most shallow of breaths, and even then it would only miss one out a 30, it had no fake alarms. Our son would have pauses in breathing that would show up on the bradycardia and apnea monitor that would last 5-7 seconds and the TIC on the BeBe monitor would be silent too so I knew it was working without fault too. Both the sickbay grade monitor and the BeBe Monitor are set at a 20 second apnea delay and then would give loud alarms which would wake the child back into breathing again and alarm the parents to `rescue' the infant if still needed.
Certainly gives us peace of mind consequential when the sickbay monitor income it a few week, we'll still have some apnea safeguard while we are all sleeping. So as the notification mark on the BeBe Angelcare-Monitor states: "This machine will not preclude SIDS." Just remember, if you can't respond to the alarm and `Rescue' your baby, SIDS will not be prevented. 62 out 100,000 babies born die of SIDS yearly in the USA. That's 2000 infants die each year in the US. Mostly were preventable. 1 out of 5 die in day care centers. Remember to always have your baby sleep on his/her back. And have the mattress slightly elevated at 30 degrees to preclude any reflux disorder from feedings.
Do not over dress, or over cover your child with blankets, over heating is also thought to be a cause of SIDS. Dress/cover them no more then what you would dress/cover physically.
Best $100.00 bucks you can spend for your small one. That's my two cents. ... |
