Easy to set up. Motion pad great idea and works well but have to unplug it and switch it off when baby is not sleeping or alarm goes off, so bit annoying. Long life battery and if charged at night then lasts all day downstairs not plugged in.
I absolutely love this monitor. Gave me such peace of mind have the movement sensor pad.
Will be using again with baby 2 due this week as it still works perfectly. Would recommend this product.

We have had two of these because they are so good! After about 5 years our first one stopped working properly but was still usable.....you just couldn't see anything on the screen. The second one is still going strong even though the battery doesn't seem to last hours it does last at least 2-3 without needing to put it back on the dock. Not a problem since it still works on the dock! Better price than angelcare and better quality.

i bought this mat before my little one was born as it was a monitor with a sensor mat that would alarm if the baby stopped breathing. the mat sensitivity can be adjusted and put under the mattress in a cot. i have used this for months and it has worked when it was needed. the monitor has a talk button and tells the temperature in the room. this monitor meant i was able to go downstairs and leave my baby asleep in bed. the battery in the remote can run down quite quick but i always put mine on the charger stand every night.
It has a motion sensor and u can take the device with u and check on the baby from other rooms
Weaknesses:
Sometimes it tests and than it wakes u in the middle of the night

I loved to use this baby monitor, it is good, the motion sensor checks the movements and if the baby do not move it makes a sound. You can take the device with you and check on the baby, when u do something else like cooking. It gives a good visual and also sound.
Great product and good value for money. Battery doesn’t seem to last too long and can wake you in the night when it is testing but it's a good product. Motion sensor as well which is great.

Great 2 in 1 monitor that can be used with the sensor pad or as a normal audio baby monitor.
Sensor pad gives peace of mind that your little one is breathing and sleeping peacefully. But if your baby is a wriggler like mine then you quickly get used to the sound of the alarm as it sounds every time they shuffle around their crib.
As baby gets older and need for the sensor pad is no longer needed, you can turn the pad off and use the monitor as a standard audio monitor.
It picks up any change in movement or noise within the room so your aware of the first sign of your baby stirring. Handy as they get older and you can quickly run up to put their dummy back in before they completely wake up.
The parent unit offers two way talk, which my other half and I use more as a walkie talkie to request the other one to bring more nappies down etc. I imagine as baby gets older this function will come in handy to reassure your child that “mummy’s coming”.
With my eldest our baby monitor played music and lullabies which this unit doesn’t offer but I have found that these aren’t actually needed. My daughter settles quicker and sleeps much more soundly than my son ever did, not sure if this has any link to lullabies being played.
It’s great value for money, I would definitely recommend this product.
I have used this with both my kids, we used the sensor mat in their cribs which were amazing and very reassuring! And the monitor it’s self still gets used even with an older baby! Can be turn up very loud which is good and also the flashing lights are very reassuring for the mat (when your not in the room)!
Love it would recommend to anyone!
This product is very good as it puts your mind at rest knowing that your baby is being monitored whilst sleeping the Range is very good too and having the parent handset that you can walk around with his very good we have also bought a second ones to have at the grandparents house as we found this very helpful at home and as well as that the grandparent's house.

I was given this monitor before the birth of my son. It has allowed my husband and I to sleep without worry, something we didn’t think we would get after starting life in the Neonatal unit. Setting up the unit is straightforward, just make sure the wires aren’t able to swing and plug into the baby unit. When the sensor mat is switched on a green light flashes every time your baby moves. This is reflected on both the parent and baby unit. If it does not detect movement for 20 seconds an alarm will sound, and it definitely wakes you! Just remember to switch it off when removing baby from cot! It allows us the peace of mind that if our little one should stop breathing we would be able to help, and the alarm often shocks the little one to start breathing again. The sound on the parent unit is crystal clear, I can even hear birds chirping outside on it. There are differing levels of sound and sensitivity so you can find what is right for you. An absolute necessity for any new parent.
Knows when it's baby as opposed to background noise

Feedback between parent unit and baby unit when at the top of the stairs

I was very unsure about which baby monitor to go for so I asked my facebook community who told me to go for a sound and movement monitor. I decided on Tommee Tippee because I have used a number of their products and have not had any issues. I am so glad that I did go for this one!!! The only thing I find is that there is feedback from the parent and baby unit being too close when I go back upstairs when I get to the top the feedback is quite bad even though I am outside of my baby's room. I find the monitor is absolutely fantastic for knowing if it is the baby stirring and making a noise or whether it is background noise for instance the blue lights only light up when my baby cals out as opposed to when her mobile is being played.
I find this really helpful as the blue lights also help to wake me up even though I hear her through the monitor when you are just waking up you don't always register what the noise is but seeing the blue lights makes me know it is baby and not just music through the monitor. I highly recommend this baby monitor to any mum or dad.
I have had this product for 6years now. Brought for my first child. It still works without fail. The connection is great I can be in my back garden and it'll work easily. The parent unit charges quickly for when you have forgotten to dock it. The baby unit tells you bedroom temperature which is also handy. As well as glowing light which you can dim or brighten for babies needs. The sound is clear, with the ability to talk through to baby. I never personally found this helped settle my boy but helpful anyway for sending instructions to tidy up now that it's in the nursery and he can head from his room next door. I used to mat system for my son for the first few months in his own room. As a nervous first time parent this was a very reassuring extra.
Cons - in sleep deprived state you do often forget to turn the mat off when you pick up your screaming cherub. Leading to an irritating unnecessary alarming at 3am taking your baby from awake for a feed to wide awake for the day! I know this is more user error than manufactured error. But still something to consider, eventually when my son was 10 months I stopped using it as it caused more problems than reassurance. At least this feature is completely detachable so not something that even needs using.
Overall, a great monitor. Provides you with enough reassurance without the actual visual on baby. Very sound sensitive picks up even the smallest of noise allowing you to run in before baby fully wakes. Which is fab!
Great baby monitor I used it when my son when into his room for the first time, gave me such peace of mind with the sensor pad, only problem which I wouldn’t say is the product itself but if baby wriggles off of it it can trigger a false alarm, but I’d rather false alarms than it not go off at all. It what’s a good range on it too.
I find a sensor mat essential for my peace of mind. Knowing id be there in second of an alarm helps especially in the newborn worry stage. Once they can roll off the mat you no longer can rely on it but i used on for every child and it was so good.
This is a fantastic monitor! Been using it for over 2 years now and can't fault it. Great range and only pics up the noises you need to hear, not every cough and snuffle like some other monitors. The light barometer is really helpful, as is the option to have the night light function on 3 different levels. The hand set clips onto a belt or jeans pocket so you can take it everywhere. I have to say the talk back function freaks my little one out more than it soothes but again, that would be the case with any monitor. I love this product and would buy it again in a heartbeat.
Bought this as I wanted the sensor mat for under mattress for peace of mind. And it’s a great product, pics up instantly if baby has moved off the mat, and an easy to use switch if lifting the baby out to stop the monitor making a noise.
Excellent product. It is so easy to use and set up. Shows you the temperature in the room, allows you to set the volume on the parent end. Allows you to talk to your baby too should you need to.
The lights indicate sound and they go up the scale depending on how loud the noise is so you can easy see the noise as well as hear it.
Very easy to use! Great product and great quality! It gives me peace in mind when sleeping specially having a baby with a heart condition! It gives you room temperature, really great during summer time! Love the fact that I can talk with my baby through the monitor if I'm not in the room with him. Just love it!

So my daughter was in NICU when born, we ended up ( not through a concious choice) co sleeping till she was almost 6 months; I then felt enough was enough and she needed to sleep in her own cot however I got very paranoid about her breathing as I was so used to have her close to me. I purchased this and it just gives me that peace of mind knowing she’s okay even if she’s a fidget and it sometimes goes off because she’s wriggled up the cot somehow
This is a great product helps keep my baby into a routine of naps and bedtime whilst giving me a chance to do my bits around the house so easy and lightweight to carry. I also love how it doubles as a little night light
It picks up whether baby is breathing too shallow or not st all. It sounds an alarm, loudly

This baby monitor has honestly saved my sanity so much as someone with anxiety the peace of mind that it would sound off if it doesn't detect moment or breathing. It comes with a portable tommee tippee hand held monitor which beeps to baby's breathing rate. It will sound off too if it's main alarm goes off. The main sensor pad slips under a normal child sized mattress and it's range is incredible. Don't let the sensor pad get wet (juice etc) under the mattress as it does collect bacteria if not careful however that's rare!
All in all I'd recommend this to any parent who's looking for a monitor to keep an eye out .the monitor includes a built in Mic and speaker so you can talk to baby if needs be. It's truly kept my mind at ease through some nights
After our daughter was poorly when she was born we decided to get this and it's such an amazing product that brings so much comfort and reassurance, it has never been too sensitive and has always worked just as described we wouldn't be without it.
For peace of mind while your baby is asleep, choose the Closer to Nature DECT Sound & Movement Baby Monitor with digital enhanced cordless technology. The DECT Sound and Movement Monitor will pick up and relay your baby's slightest noises to the parent unit.
It comes with a detachable sensor pad to fits under your baby's mattress and will sound an alarm if no movement is detected after 20 seconds.
The monitor is easy to set up and simple use; the clever talkback feature and range of 300 metres with volume control and nightlight allow you to comfort your baby from another room.
The parent unit has an easy-to-read LCD monitor indicating the room temperature, a rechargeable docking station, auto-channel select, and a volume indicator.
