My baby was premature and had breathing difficulties early on so this monitor was brilliant as if baby doesn't move for 15 seconds an alarm goes off. The only down side to this is as my son got bigger and started to move more the alarm would go off as he would keep moving off the sensor pad. The monitor can be used without the sensor pad which is great it has lots of different options to choose from. -

This is by far the best baby monitor on the market it gives you total peace of mind that baby is okay. The sensor pad let's you know baby is breathing and gives a sharp warning beep to stir baby into breathing and then goes off rapidly if she stops for too long. Excellent product highly recommend to anyone. - Strengths:

Bought this when transferred from Moses basket to cot. Easy to set up, doesnt take up too much room and never let us down. Had to change settings twice as picked up sounds from elsewhere but easily done. - Strengths:

Being a first time parent is the most nerve waking thing ever, you question everything you do. Our new baby boy started wanting to sleep on his tummy from about 4 months old. I know we're told babys are safer to sleep on their backs but we found he slept so much better on his tummy I started looking into breathing and movement monitors and reading reviews on which was the best one to get. We eventually decided on Angelcare as it's a great make and we love their bath seat. I'm so glad we won't with this model it definitely helped us relax a bit more. We startes usibg it in the crib when our son was still in our room and then moved it into his cot in his room. He is almost 11 months old and we still use it, we just can't bring ourselves to put it away even tho our son is now crawling. Wouldn't be withiut this monitor and if we're lucky enough to have more children we will use again for them. - Strengths:

I used this every night and nap time from birth to 6 months. I only used the movement alarm, and it did go off a couple of times. The alarm was loud enough to wake me and my husband up, it only went off when our son had rolled off the sensor pad (which wasn't very often).
When we moved him into a cot bed the sensor pad no longer worked, I think its because the mattress is too heavy.
I will continue to use the monitor for sound when my son goes into his own room. - Strengths:

Been using this for my 5 month old since birth, took a little getting used to with the settings but that might’ve been a bit hindered with baby brain!
It often transmits other noises but overall well worth the money for peace of mind. - Strengths:

I love this product and will be using it again with my second child.
The baby needs to be placed over the mat for it to work and it is really sensitive. You can use the monitor without the pressure mat also so it was still good value for money. Great for putting my mind at ease and would definitely recommend. - Strengths:

Overall fab product
Once you know how to use it puts your mind to ease.
Sensor pad worked well over thick piece of card board and hard wood
We tried to test if baby does not move it works and alarms on monitor is a good sound. Use every night and in the day. - Strengths:

After c section I had to stay in a hospital for 5 days . At night I was setting the alarms on my phone for every 20-30 mins to check my baby is all right so I slept maybe 2 hours in 24 hours time. When we finally came back to home and our angelcare was already installed I could finally have a longer sleep. We had 2 false alarms so far ( my baby is 6 months right know ) . Without this product my life would be full of stress and sleepless nights definitely. - Weaknesses:

Great monitor for piece of mind. Sensor pad can be switched off to allow single use of monitor for sound alone. If using with sensor pad, our baby will sometimes roll off the pad to the top of the cot. Whilst the sensor pad will detect this and alarm (which is good) the alarm cannot be switch off on the parent unit. The alarm will continue until switched off in the babies room. This then wakes the baby. The digital edition allows the monitor to be switched off on parent unit, meaning when baby rolls off the pad and is ok, they are not woken by the alarm. - Strengths:

I love this product and will be using it again with my second child.
The baby needs to be placed over the mat for it to work and it is really sensitive.
My first child used to roll all over the cot so it didn't work as well when she got older because it kept going off. You can use the monitor without the pressure mat also so it was still good value for money.
Great for putting my mind at ease and would definitely recommend. - Strengths:

I brought this for the bargain price of £55 from smyths before my baby was born. We have used it with the sensor pad since birth and it has been used in our moses basket, crib and now her cot.
I think that you can use the monitor without the sensor pad as i know some do not allow this. It has a qood quality sounds and we have no issues. - Strengths:

I love this product one of my twins is a completely silent sleep so he pad gives complete peace of mind it's easy to set up and add addition mats and sensors. Lots if function so you can turn down sensitivity and even remove the pad if required.
The only down side I find is that if you put in sleep mode the monitor comes on with the sound but does not give you an image but this may be a plus for some.

I wouldn't be without this monitor. It has provided me with a sense of happiness and a piece of mind that baby is safe and well while I sleep.
The wire is rather ugly to run the distance that is required but I wouldn't be without it a wire is nothing in comparison to what it provides.
A must buy for all parents that are highly anxious about cot death. - Strengths:

I have used this monitor with both my kids. I cannot recommend it enough. All my friends who’ve had babies have got this monitor also.
The sensor mat provided amazing peace of mind that your child is safe. I used right up until my first was in a big bed as u can in plug the sensor pad when they are older and moving around the cot too much - Strengths:

This is great for piece of mind. The movement mat has different levels of sensitivity you can choose to suit your requirements which I find really helpful. The sound monitor is good quality. My only issue is there is a button to select different frequencies on one side, and a button to select different functions on the other.
When tumbling around in the dark with it is easy to change the frequency by mistake. If your baby is quiet (is not making a noise through the monitor) it’s impossible to know if you’re on the right frequency. Only a small niggle though. Otherwise very easy to set up and use. - Strengths:
