Great Monitor - Source of Wireless Network Interference
We received this monitor as a gift from a seasoned veteran. As new parents, this unit helped ease some of our fears. I did find recently that this unit was the source of interference with the wireless network in our home. It seems to operate in the same frequency as Wireless-G networks, as it did not affect our computer with a Wireless-N card.
Provides PEACE of MIND ... ALARM SOUNDS if baby stops breathing/moving.
I LOVE the MOVEMENT SENSOR aspect of this monitor. I have used 2 of these (one in the crib for nighttime sleeping and one in the playpen for daytime naps) and they work GREAT at detecting when there is no movement/breathing. I used these with both my kids, up until they were both 2 years old and moved to big boy beds.
I only have two complaints. One is that I wish they would improve the monitors so that there is less interference/static, and more channels. With these monitors, you get lots of feedback and can even pick-up neighbors' babies (if they are using similar monitors). This means that the neighbors can also hear you and your baby. In fact, I always used Channel B because I kept picking up neighbors' babies on Channel A. My second complaint is I wish they would make the sensor that goes under the mattress bigger so that it covers more of the sleep area to prevent false alarms.
My workaround solution is that I also own 2 other monitors ... one with video and one with a greater frequency and less static (that I used in conjunction with this one) and carry around the house.
This monitor allowed me to get much needed rest and things done around the house without having to check the baby every 2 minutes to make sure he was still breathing. I wish more manufacturers would add the movement detection feature to their monitors.
Despite some of this monitor's shortcomings, I still HIGHLY recommend it. Worth EVERY penny for that piece of mind. If you buy more than one set, the monitors are interchangeable and work together nicely. In addition, it is small and easy to carry along with you when you travel. So, you can use it on vacations or when you are away from home, to monitor your baby for added peace of mind.
**PLEASE NOTE: You will need MASONITE BOARD, or some other hard board to place under the crib mattress for the movement sensor to sit on. With the playpen (because it had a hard bottom), I didn't need to use anything. I could just place the movement sensor directly under the pad.**
I have peace of mind!!!!
This product is wonderful-I have peace of mind...When I had my 16 and 10yr old this product was not an option for me...So I basically hovered over them all night-now with this monitor I get some much needed rest...
Won't work if baby moves a lot
Do not waste your money on this product if you have a baby that moves a lot in the crib!!!
We used it for a week until we just got tired of the 10 false alarms we had every night, because my daughter moves a lot in her crib, and often ends up against the rail (and never the same one). It was very stressful for us, and for her, so we just stopped using it.
Now, I would have given it 3 stars, because it does work for a lot of people, but I called their customer service and they said it's pretty much normal for it to beep a lot if you have a baby that moves a lot. I just wish they mentioned this in their product description, because now I'm out .
So this really deserves one star for me. If your baby doesn't move too much, it should work though.
Excellent product - good for peace of mind & sleep!
We got this after our premie son went of his apnea/heart monitor, mainly for peace of mind for me. It is very much worth the money! I would not trade the comfort of knowing he is safe and okay while he's sleeping for anything. This has really made it easy to sleep at night knowing that if something happens, we will know! Our son is now 8 months old and I still have it on every night and we don't get any false alarms (have to be sure the sensor is set correctly and to the right level) even when he's rolling around his crib.
