Helpful Customer Reviews For: Graco Angelcare Baby Movement Sensor With Sound Monitor Deluxe

5 out of 5: I love this monitor!, June 6, 2009
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 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.

5 out of 5: 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 out of 5: Amazing peace of mind, and convenient too!, November 29, 2009

I have used this monitor since birth with my 6 month old son. I can't even express the peace of mind that using this monitor offers. When it's on, I always know he's alive and don't have to succumb to checking him every five minutes. I know that the sensor works, because if I forget to turn off the monitor and take him out of the crib, it goes off within seconds.

My other favorite part of this monitor has nothing to do with the sensor - it is noise-activated. We have a Summer Infant video monitor which is NOT noise activated, and it's very annoying to have the sound on all the time. We barely use that monitor, and when we do it's only for the video. I love the Angelcare monitor because it only makes noise when the baby makes noise, (this is an optional setting).

The monitor has gone off two times in his lifetime. When we got to his room, he was fine. It beeps very loudly when it goes off, so perhaps it woke him up from momentary apnea. But who knows? Maybe he wouldn't have woken.

I can't recommend this product enough. It saves my sanity every day.

5 out of 5: The BEST Investment for my Babies, (By Mom of Twins) June 29, 2009

Peace of mind in the form of little angels. You won't wonder during a silent and peaceful night 'Is my baby breathing?'.
This little angels keep you from wondering! In the event your baby stops moving/breathing an alarm will start to alert you.

After coming home with my twin girls from the NICU, these were the single most important things in my nursery. They allowed me to sleep while they slept, without worry about their well-being.
Real Angels! :)
