    5 Stars Angelcare AC401 - peace of mind 30/10/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages complete peace of mind

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    When I was pregnant I bought a Tommee Tippee monitor with motion detect. However it was so freakin loud with static that I soon got rid and purchased the Angelcare monitor from Toys R Us which cost me £89.99. I believe it is often on offer at £59.99 or less, and obviously less on eBay. It was essential to me that the monitor I chose had a motion detector as I am over-cautious with regards to cot death. Not only that, but my daughter was premature and very small (still is) so I have always worried about her. The monitor comes in a square box which includes: parent unit, docking station, sensor ... more

    4 Stars Peace of mind? 17/12/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great sound quaility, nightlight, effective movement monitor

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can't switch movement monitor function off, can rely on it too much

    Although a baby monitor wasn’t exactly an essential purchase, it was one that was quite high on my list. When looking at all the different models I knew I wanted one with a movement monitor (I had a very personal reason for this) but didn’t want to spend a small fortune. After spending some time searching the web, looking at specifications and reading reviews I chose the Angelcare AC401, which cost me £59.99, and I’ve now been using this monitor for eight months. Out Of The Box Setting up the AC401 was a fairly simple affair, I did read through the clear instruction booklet, but when I moved ... more

    5 Stars Our Guardian Angel Review with images 25/09/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Sensor mat, not *too* expensive, no interference

    Disadvantages Disadvantages you do forget to turn off mat when lifting baby out sometimes

    When I was buying my baby equipment for my elder child I had my eyes on this monitor. Id seen it in family members houses and thought the sensor mat and little 'pip' noises were a great idea to let parents know how their baby was doing in their sleep. When I went to buy it they were out of stock and so we bought an alternative, but very similar Tommee Tippee monitor which was also a great baby monitor although we still like to keep it in our 2 year old's room at night as he is now in a bed and so we like to hear if he is getting up so that we can get up and make sure he is ok. (obviously at 2 ... more

    cot death Before Baby B came into our lives Mrs B had a very trying pregnancy with threatened miscarriages and plenty of hospital stays. This lead to her being quite paranoid and she began to believe that she'd never be lucky enough to have the baby born in one piece... Baby B was born in one piece but she was then paranoid about cot death which I think is pretty understandable especially seeing as how much the health visitors and midwives speak about it. When we were still waiting for Baby B's appearance our local health visitor came round and spent a good twenty minutes scaring us both ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reliable, can be used as a sound only monitor

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no talk bck feature, no lullaboes

    When I was pregnant I was fortunate enough to receive a BT 100 Baby Monitor for free, great I thought until it started to have intermittent problems. We managed for 6 months until I said to my husband that I wanted a movement sensor monitor with our son now going into his own room, just for peace of mind. He agreed and set about researching the best product on the market and he came back to me and advised me that this was the best buy after reading reviews. ~*~The little box~*~ I decided to make the purchase from Amazon as it had a £10 reduction and we paid £69.99. After having our first ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good monitor

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Don't use the sensor pad

    When it comes to essential baby items a monitor has to be fairly top of the list. We took a while to choose one, reading all about them and deciding which would be best for us. We finally settled upon the Angel Care baby monitor as I liked the look of it, had heard and read good things about it and was recommended it by my next door neighbour. We bought ours at Mothercare and it cost us £69.99. The one was chose was the Angelcare Baby Movement and Sound Monitor. The monitor comes in two parts. There is the nursery unit which is the part that obviously, stays in the nursery. This is what will ... more

    5 Stars A piece of mind from the outset. 05/07/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very sensitive, great sound quality.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Have to keep movement sensor connected, not two-way.

    Our daughter (now 2) suffered from reflux from birth. She was sick a lot and we were exceptionally worried most of the time. After 6 months in our room (and us getting nil sleep!) we decided to allow her to sleep in her own room. Before we did, however, we wanted to be sure that no matter what happened, we would hear. We needed a monitor with exceptional sound quality, a sensitive mic and some way of checking on her breathing just in case the worst were to happen and she would choke on her vomit. We looked around and on a great many recommendations we choose the Angelcare AC401. With a ... more

    5 Stars Angelcare Monitor 19/06/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Peace of mind.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Remember to turn off when lifting baby out of cot

    I knew from the outset that i would be one of those paranoid mum's constantly worrying about my baby & wondering if he was still breathing through the night, so I invested in the Angelcare monitor with movement sensor mat. The set includes a 'baby unit', 'parent unit' & movement sensor mat. The mat is placed under baby's mattress (if like mine, the base of the cot is slatted, or you're using it in such a moses basket, then you will need to place the mat on a firm surface such as a piece of plywood under the mattress), & is so sensitive that it can detect even the lightest of breathing. The mat ... more

    Advantages Advantages Lets you get on with your life when babe is asleep

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    This monitor is one of my complete favourite buys for scrumpy. At first I thought it was ridiculous and screamed out 'nervy parent trying to throw away their money', but using it gives me such reassurance. It really is brilliant to stop that ridiculous paranoia that is 'oh my goodness, he has been quiet for at least 20 minutes, do you think he is ok, what if he has suffocated?' It creeps up on all of us at one time or another, even the most laid back and calm are not immune to the odd pang. In short, this device stopped me going in and checking (inavertently waking up) my new born every hour ... more

    Advantages Advantages peace of mind. easily set up, easily transported.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I have three children and with the first 2 i didnt know there were products like the angelcare sound and movement monitor. i would lay awake watching my children breathing, i would often lay there for hours with my hand on the baby's chest, worrying that if i went to sleep something bad would happen and i wouldnt know about it til it was too late. i found out about the angelcare sound and movement monitor through a friend when i was pregnant with my third child, he is now almost 11 months old. when we first put the monitor on i was concerned that the constant bleep from the receiver would ... more
