Detects Slightest Movements with Sensor Pad

The Angelcare Movement Monitor senses your baby's slightest movements and sounds an alarm if no movement is detected for 20 seconds. The monitor uses a sensor pad that you can secure underneath most standard crib mattresses. You can adjust the pad's sensitivity level with a dial on the back of the nursery unit to suit your needs.

Ideal for Small Spaces or Monitoring Multiple Babies

Providing extra reassurance, the monitor is great for parents who sleep in the same room as their babies or in small apartments where a sound monitor is not necessary. The movement monitor is also handy for parents of multiple infants in separate cribs to use in conjunction with one standard sound monitor.

Indicator "Tics" When Detecting Movement

The Angelcare Movement Monitor features an optional "tic" indicator. In the on position, this indicator will flash green and make a ticking sound whenever it detects your baby's movement. In the off position, only a green light will flash with movement.

Battery Operated with Low-Level Indicator

The Movement Monitor runs on two AA batteries (not included). The low-battery indicator on the front of the monitor lets you know when it's time to change the batteries.

The Angelcare Movement Monitor is backed by a manufacturer's limited one-year warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the basics for peace of mind August 2, 2010

I have to say, I love this monitor. I will admit that when I had my first child, monitors like these seemed silly to me. I mean, Isn't that part of learning to be a parent-- just eventually trusting that your child is ok without monitoring them every second? Well, when my second child was diagnosed with laryngomalacia and her airway would close on her, I started to think a monitor like this was a good idea. The pediatrician recommended against it (she thought there would be too many false alarms. etc.), but I got it anyway and I am so glad! It has enabled me to sleep so much better and to sleep my daughter on her tummy (a position that helps her breathing) because I know she is being monitored. The logistics of it are this: The pad is under the baby's mattress and leads directly to the monitoring device so the device is in the room with the baby. This is the basic model, it just monitors movement, no sound monitoring or temperature (I have no idea why you would need this) like with the other models. You can just use a regular baby monitor with it if you are in another room to make sure you hear the sound if it goes off. It has a very handy warning blip that goes off if the monitor detects no movement for 15 seconds (e.g. you picked the baby up without turing the monitor off) so you can turn it off before the alarm sounds (at 20 seconds). The alarm is like an alarm clock, loud, but not crazy-loud. We have been using it for two months now (our daughter is three months old) and have had no false alarms. From what I read, people start getting false alarms at around six months of age, when the babies are really mobile and can move far off the monitor. Since the risk of SIDS (and my daughter's issue) greatly decreases by six months of age this isn't a problem for me.
REVIEW UPDATE: My daughter is now 7 months old and we have had to adjust the sensitivity dial all the way to the most sensitive setting (in increments over the last few months), but things are still going well. We will get a false alarm every once in a while (once a month or so), but I figure every day we get to use this gizmo is a bonus now since I thought we would need to ditch it by now. Plus, we have the monitor located pretty precariously and my three-year old has knocked it down MANY times (with pieces even popping off) and it's still working. Very pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please Read! November 7, 2011

By Kimberly

This is the best item that we have purchased since we had our baby! Last week, our 6 week old baby was asleep in the crib. We have never had the alarm go off.. ever.. but it did one night. My husband and I were in the living room, heard the alarm, went to her room.. and our baby was laying in the crib, and really pale. I freaked out, grabbed her arm and called her name and she did not react. I picked her up and I heard her gasp for air. We took her to the hospital, and they ran extensive tests. It did not happen again in the hospital, and it has not happened again since we have been home.. but I am so relieved that we had this mattress sensor. If it had not of gone off and alerted us of her not breathing, who knows what would have happened.
Please buy this for your baby.. you will not regret it!

We are first time parents and this was recommended by grandparents. My first thought was, seriously, isn't that going a bit overboard? But we decided to get it (and saved the box so we could ship it back when we decided it wasn't worth the money). We have not shipped it back and have started recommending it to our friends. Our son has slept in his crib in his own room since he was a month old. It isn't far from our room, but far enough you can't hear him breathing.

First, I have to admit that we have had several 'false' alarms, mostly because he was able to move far enough off the angel pad that it could no longer sense him. BUT...even with the false alarms, I love it. Because I know, without a doubt, that if the angel pad is not going off, my son is breathing. The false alarms stopped since our son hit 12 pounds. I don't know if this is how it is for everyone, but I think it is because he is heavy enough that even if he rolls around and is no longer directly on the angel pad, it can still sense his movement. He is now six months old and we haven't had a false alarm for a long time...at least three months.

I can not describe how wonderful the peace of mind is when he is sleeping in his room with the door closed that I know he is fine. Our son is a sleeper, and has been since he was very young. But the first time he slept ten hours straight, I still had to think....OMG is he okay? And then I think of the angel pad, and know that he is fine. I sleep so much better! Even if I wake up in the middle of the night, I can go right back to sleep without checking on him, because I know he is just fine.

My aunt lost a child to SIDS over 30 years ago, and I can't imagine in this day and age, with the technology available, to have that happen. I would rather get up once a week with a false alarm than lose my child.

The battery life is great, we have been using this five months and haven't changed the batteries. The alarm sounds like an alarm clock and comes through the regular baby monitor. Must get a board to go under the mattress. We went to Home Depot and they cut the board to size right there and we took it home and put it in...no problems. As for turning it on and off...it becomes second nature. I would recommend the 'light' mode vs. the 'tick' mode...every time the baby moves, it gives you an indication in one of the two ways. The problem with the 'tick' mode is the noise comes through the baby monitor and is very annoying!
