Safe to Sleep Baby Breathing Monitor with Audible Alarm & Smartphone App - Wireless Infant Sleep Tracker for Crib, Bassinet & Nursery - Peace of Mind for New Parents

SafeToSleep is an Angel Care, Snuza, HighSense BabySense Movement Monitor, and VTech Audio Monitor all wrapped up in one. This is the only baby monitor any new parent will need.My baby was born 2 1/2 months premature and spent 6 weeks in the NICU. It is very frightening to watch your baby hooked up to vital and breathing monitors and suffer dips in normal functions. It is even more frightening when you bring them home and you have no way to monitor these things yourself. Now you do....SafeToSleep.I have been using SafeToSleep daily for over two months. I'm a stay at home mom and have had the pleasure of seeing this product in action from nap time to night time. My initial concern with the SafeToSleep was the range of Bluetooth capabilities. I live in a three story townhouse and have acceptable range on all floors. However, when my baby is sleeping on the first floor, my reception does get weak on the third floor. Honestly, I'm rarely that far from my sleeping baby for this to be an issue.I have used the iPhone App, iPad App, and the Android App. All Apps were easy to download,install, and connect. Each App works as intended. As mentioned previously, it is nice to see when your baby is asleep or awake, gauge room temperature, stream white noise to your baby, and track sleeping patterns over time. I have received rapid breathing alarms, slow breathing alarms, baby absent alarms, and low battery alarms. The App does not alarm when baby is awake but you can see the baby character change from sleeping to awake. It has NEVER been wrong. Sometimes, the App will show my baby awake when simply moving or changing position. I wish the App would allow for audio monitoring to your device - but it does not. However, if you want to listen to your baby or talk/sing to your baby all you have to do is use the parent unit instead of your phone/iPad.I prefer the design of SafeToSleep compared with other monitors. It is sleek and uncomplicated -no wires, no additional devices to lug. Nearly every parent carries a phone, laptop/tablet, diaper bag, keys...you get the picture. All I have to carry is the SafeToSleep and I'm set. Anywhere my baby sleeps, SafeToSleep can go without rigging and plugging in equipment. This is very nice when my baby is napping upstairs instead of the crib downstairs. It is also nice because we use a memory foam mattress and SafeToSleep is compatible - placed on the mattress instead of underneath like AngelCare. There are no wires to plug or run outside of my baby's reach. I never have to worry about my baby accidentally choking or strangling.I'm in total disagreement with commenter Unix. I'm a technology buff and this product is NOT flaky. SafeToSleep is an offering of sophisticated technology once only available in hospitals. Now parents can use it too! I'm a real person, a real mother, with a real fear for my premature baby's health. I did extensive research on baby monitors before deciding to purchase SafeToSleep. I can see Unix's point about being able to connect multiple devices but in my eyes, this is a safety feature. I have a modern family with every known electronic gadget. I purchased SafeToSleep knowing Bluetooth would be the connecting protocol because I didn't want any interference with other electronics running in my home. SafeToSleep monitors my baby's livelihood. I would never take a chance with crosstalk from other devices interfering with registering a life threatening event.Admittedly, SafeToSleep is pricey. My husband was not particularly happy about spending $300 on a monitor. But I explained to him if we were to buy an audio monitor, a movement monitor, and a breathing monitor we would be spending well over $300. SafeToSleep does not offer video monitoring. But I have watched my baby sleep and sometimes I cannot tell if she is breathing. She may look alive but something could be wrong. SafeToSleep lets me know for sure. $300 is cheap for that peace of mind!I sleep, my baby sleeps, and my husband sleeps too. Get SafeToSleep so you can start sleeping too...Best,DeannaFirst let me thank Ryan the creator of this wonderful product and then I'll get to our story. RYAN, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Your product us amazing and the fact that you personally field customer service calls with your team is awesome. Who better to answer questions then the man who created it! Okay on to our story...We're new parents of a beautiful and healthy baby boy, Aidan. Unfortunately like many newborns our son suffers from acid reflux and as a result, he naturally and occasionally would hold his breath while sleeping to alleviate the discomfort of his reflux. We being new parents were unaware of this and scared SH*TLESS of SIDS, so when our 2 week old son stopped breathing for several seconds while asleep in my wife's arms, we freaked!!! How can you prepare yourself for your wife to tell you, "the babies not breathing"? You cant!Long story short, the wife performed CPR, the baby woke up none the worse for ware and both his Peds Doctor and our many Register Nurse family members all assured us he was fine and to stay up with him overnight and monitor his breathing. BTW, both our Peds Doc and RN f'members told us a trip to the ER wasn't warranted unless it happened again (for more than 45 seconds) as it would result in the same treatment, us staying awake, watching him breath all night. Only difference we would be sitting in the ER rather than home, oh yeah and the expensive hospital bill.So while sitting with our son, we took to the internet and found this, 'Safe To Sleep, Sleep and Breathing Baby Monitor', the reviews were excellent, our Ped's Doc and RN f'members (tired of our repeated phone calls about this and that) all agreed it does the same as the respiratory monitor at the hospital and it would allow us piece of mind and maybe some sleep. Target, Babies r' Us, Etc., all carried them 'ON-LINE' only and it was 1-2 week delivery. We weren't going to be able to stay awake that long, working and taking turns watching the baby and voila(pronounced, vwä-ˈlä) we found a solution!Amazon.com had them! Better still is was cheaper than everywhere else!! Better yet, with our Amazon Prime account it would be here in two days!!! Better than that even, we could up the delivery service and be back in business of sleeping in no time flat!!!! Yeah sleep!!!!!It arrives, we open it, read the book, add the batteries and placed the baby on it. Oh HAPPY, HAPPY, JOY, JOY, this thing is awesome! It has a handy remote monitor, some cool features (you can read about on your own) and we can sync it to our smart phones for even cooler monitoring graphics!I would recommend this to every parent of a newborn!Downside...but Ryan assured me he has a solution in the works(bigger monitoring mat for larger beds/cribs)!Safe to Sleep is designed for a bassinet sized sleep area, we have an full size Arms Reach co-sleeper next to our bed and a full size forever crib and they both have large sleeping areas. Much larger than the Safe to Sleep designed for a bassinet sized sleeping area. When Aidan moved off the mat, (which he tended to do often 'cause I think he secretly wants to torture me with sleep deprivation) we would be awakened by the monitor alarm to a respiration distress signal only to find him asleep off the side of the mat and the mat couldn't monitor his breaths. It's better to be awoken 'cause I have a restless sleeper for a kid rather than a dead one!Again, I can't stress enough how awesome this product is, it is worth its weight in gold for piece of mind or sleep(which ever is more valuable to you). We will be buying another(larger version) when they become available for our next baby.Ryan you have 12 months!
