With the Sound & Movement function, you can hear your babys sounds, see sound lights, and hear a "tic" sound with every movement the baby makes. If no movement is detected, the "tic" will stop and after 20 seconds the alarm will sound. In the Tic Off mode you will not hear the ticking sound with every movement. However, you will still hear the babys sounds and see sound lights, and your babys movement is still being detected. An alarm will still sound if absolutely no movement is detected for 20 seconds. And finally, with Sound Only, the movement sensor is disabled, but you will still be able to hear your babys sounds and see sound lights. In this mode, the Angelcare functions as a regular sound monitor. For many parents, just being able to hear the sighs and squeaks of the newest member of the family is reassurance enough. For those who need more input, for whatever reason, the additional sensory features of the Angelcare can be lifesaving. | | | Product Details: | | | Product Length:

 Knows when your baby is breathing.Jul 01, 2009
I had no idea there was a product like this out there. It actually monitors whether or not your child is breathing. If it weren't for this monitor, I would be driving myself nuts checking with my hands (and probably waking up the baby doing so). Thank goodnes for this kind of technology!
*Another reviewer recommended placing a board or flat surface under the unit. This is great advice if you are using a pack and play bassinet with a soft bottom. It really helps to get an accurate signal.
The bestJun 22, 2009
This is the best... as a new mom I am scared with SIDS and this monitor give me piece of mind....
We never had a false alarm and the portable parents units have a great range I can go outside and baby sleeping in the house....
I would recommend it STRONGLY !!!! worst every peny you will spend for your piece of mind at night and during naps.....
Best thing ever bought for my babyJun 02, 2009
My daughter is almost 14 months old now, and have to say that if I did not have this monitor over the past 14 months, I would have gone crazy. I have a friend, who's son died in his sleep at 5 months old, of SIDS.
I think if he would have had this monitor, it may have saved him.
If i didnt have it, I would have never slept and never left the nursery and would have stood over the baby's bed all night, just to make sure she was alright and alive.
I did get a few false alarms, when she started rolling over, but I would rather be woken up after 8 minutes of well-deserved- just fed the baby-just pumped-just changed a poopy diaper at 3am and an alarm is now going off- sleep, then to know what it feels like to lose a child.
Buy it, its worth it, you wont be sorry!
This monitor is a lifesaverMay 29, 2009
We purchased this for our son before he was born, he wasn't a premie or at an increased risk for SIDS but I wanted the piece of mind to know he was breathing. Well, at 4 months old, the alarm went off in the middle of the night. We jumped up and ran into his room and picked him up, he wasn't breathing, when we picked him up it startled him and he started to breathe. We later found out after he was tested due to another alarm going off at night that he was having sleep apnea episodes. The thought of what could have happened had we not known he wasn't breathing scares me everyday. There is no price that can be put on the security of knowing if your child stops breathing you will know. I recommend this highly to everyone having a baby and it is the first thing I buy when close friends of mine have a baby.
Now, at 11 months old, my son still uses this monitor. Even though he is a mover now in his crib, we get very few false alarms. I can also attest to the fact that the range on this monitor is awesome and the sound quality is great. Overall there isn't anything bad I can say about this product!
 Perfect Paranoid Parent ProductMay 21, 2009
I purchased this monitor at the suggestion of both a friend and nurse at the hospital for my preemie son. There were a couple of problems with it which made me mostly disappointed in the purchase.
1. One of the parent's units would not work. It was staticky on both channels no matter where I placed it in the house. I had to call the manufacturer - Bebe Sounds - only to be redirected to Graco who apparently purchased the Angel Care monitor rights from Bebe Sounds. After being transferred multiple times and hung up on once, I finally got through to customer service and they did offer to send a new parent's unit to me free. The new unit they sent to me works just fine.
2. Major Issue - The movement sensor began to alarm in the middle of the night, multiple times a night. It would never alarm during the day though. I would check on my son, and he'd be just fine. He was not blue or gasping, he was breathing normally. Even turning the sensor sensitivity all the way up, it still alarmed. We finally called the pediatrician who sent us to the hospital for an overnight sleep apnea study, which turned out normal. So the monitor that was supposed to give us peace of mind just gave us a lot less sleep and stress, and we need all the sleep we can get with a newborn.
On a positive note, the sensor pad was easy to install and sound coming through the parent's units is crystal clear. We do still use this for sound monitoring only but no longer turn on the movement sensor. So far, so good. I'm giving this item a rating of three because in theory it's a good product for paranoid parents like myself, but there are problems with our particular unit that I took issue with.
