5.0 out of 5 stars Works great! September 23, 2009

There are a lot of reviews of this product, so let me impart the "Gravy" if you will.

1. The motion sensor works and has not had any false alarms ONCE we adjusted the sensitivity. At its least sensitive setting, the unit would alarm. Since adjusting to the "mid level" we have not had a single false alarm... However, if you pick up your kiddo in the middle of the night to change a full diaper, turn the unit off first or you'll wake up your sleeping spouse with the ALARM!

2. The sensing unit works fine in a crib without the masonite board. In the basonette, we used two towels on either side to "level" things out. The sensor still worked fine and the thin mattress pad was level.

3. The alarm is loud and will wake you up. Good.

4. The monitor microphone is sensitive and you can hear every little grunt, so we turn the volume down a little at night. A cry will be loud, grunts are not.

5. Our Uniden 5.4gHz phones do NOT interfere with the unit and it does not affect my wireless network.

Overall, we love the monitor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelent product April 24, 2009

Very good product- no false alarms at all so far, and the sound monitor is cristal clear ( no statics, no noise)- just perfect!
The parent monitor has a moving image tha shows the baby is breathing- which is very reasuring when you wake up in the middle of the night to check on your baby.
I would suggest to the manufacturer of the product that the parent monitor could show the temperature also in celsius, and that the parent monitor could have a clock( very useful to quickly check the time when your baby wakes crying during the night). It's quite heavy to take on the go, but overall it's an excellent product.
Would highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this monitor! June 6, 2009

By A. Riley

I love 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 sensitive to the slightest movement. I have it under a mattress, mattress pad, fitted mattress sheet, waterproof mattress cover, AND an inclined sleep positioner! The directions were very clear and the device was very easy to set up. The range on the receivers (parent devices) is excellent 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 little clip on the back so you can clip it to your shirt and walk around hands free. Oh and the receivers give you a warning when the batteries start to go, it beeps once every 15 seconds or so. I also love the little night light feature 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 connect 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 easy enough to turn features 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 almost dieing but for the apnea monitor (he was discharged from the NICU with an apnea monitor) telling 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.
