Baby Products Reviews of Bébésounds Angelcare Deluxe Movement Sensor with Sound Monitor
Customer Review: I thank God for this product
Summary: 5 Stars
As first time parents, we got this product mainly for peace of mind. My husband thought that it was gimmicky, but was all for it so I would feel better. However, as time went on, we both became more and more impressed with how the monitor worked. Our daughter is 10 weeks old and she has not laid down for so much as a nap without the monitor being turned on.
I never thought that this monitor would be used for anything other than peace of mind. However, in the middle of the night a few nights ago, the alarm went off. My husband and I jumped up and ran to her room. Our daughter wasn't breathing. My husband shook her and yelled for her to wake up. We performed CPR and she finally started to stir.
I truly believe that this product saved my daughter's life. The ER doctor told us buying this monitor was the best money we've ever spent. I have to agree.
As for a review of the monitor: We have never had any false alarms. We've never had a problem with static or interference. There are only two things that I have found to be less than perfect: 1. The temperature on the display seems to always be a few degrees off. 2. The low battery beep is the same as the 15 second warning beep, which caused us to run to the crib once in the middle of the night in a panic. No biggie- I just keep the monitor in the base at night now.
I thank God that we bought this monitor for our precious baby girl.
Customer Review: good baby monitor for preemies

we bought this a few days after we brought our son home from the hospital he had been born at 31 weeks and after spending 5 weeks with him on monitors in the NICU I couldn't sleep with out checking on him every half hour. This monitor has allowed me to sleep again.
The movement detector feature works very well, we used a piece of 3/4 inch plywood to place under it and it functions fine so I would say its not necessary to get the manufacturer recomended piece of wood to place the mat on. Our son sleeps in a pack and play with the bassinet insert and the monitor has no trouble picking up his movements. It is very comforting to me to see the little detector bar going back and forth on my monitor at night. It picks up every breath. I have had two false alarms where it did not detect movement, both times I had left the vibration feature going on his mattress.
We have been using this for a month now and I feel like it was worth the money. The audio part of the monitor is great too. It has a microphone feature so it only transmits when the baby makes noise and you can adjust the sensitivity to hear your babies every sniff, or only when they are crying to be fed. This way you don't have to listen to the constant hum of a conventional baby monitor.
It has some other features like an alarm when the r

I'm a first time mom and this is a must have product. I've used it for about 3 months, as long as he's been sleeping his crib and it gives me such peace of mind. If I didn't have the movement sensor he'd probably be sleeping in our room til he was 30, lol. The alarm went off for the first time last night and when I went in his room he was rolled over and stuffed up against the bumper. I was SO thankful for this monitor because I don't even want to know what would have happened otherwise.
The monitors stay charged forever. If I leave one off the rack for a night (8-10 hours) it still has half a battery left. The only thing that is annoying is the light on the monitor is really bright but i just throw a shirt or something over it. The nightlight feature is great too. Ive used that every night for 5 months and it still glows. I know I read on here about people having false alarms when I bought this and that has never happened to me. I have it set on the factory setting. You can turn the sensitivity up or down if you have problems with false alarms. Oh, and if the alarm DOES go off, it also sounds out of the unit in the baby's room to startle him.
I just love this product and I really think this is a must have for a mother.
Customer Review: We can sleep!

We have been using this monitor for 6 months and this is the only baby product we can't live without. It works and we can sleep.
We moved our baby to a crib after 2 weeks of age and I doubt we would have stuck with the crib if we didn't have this monitor. I had to do a some initial tuning because of some false positives (our baby would wiggle into the far corners of the crib but this can be compensated for be adjusting the sensitivity of the monitor pad). Also make sure to always have the pad centered in the crib - the pad can shift when changing the mattress cover and bed sheets.
Don't waste your money on the Masonite board - swing by a hardware store like Lowe's or Home Depot and pick up a piece of 1/4" (or thicker) plywood (Home Depot actually had a 24"x48" pre-cut board which fit our crib perfectly). If you use a piece of plywood - give the edges of the plywood a quick sanding to remove any rough spots.
This unit can also travel well - we used this unit overseas (with a power converter) and it all packed up nicely. I cut a 16"x24" piece of 1/4 inch plywood (which was the largest size I could fit in a suit case) to use as a base for the monitor pad.
Customer Review: worth every penny!!

Bought this when our son was 3 months old. Wish we'd bought it the day we brought him home! Our baby was a massive spitter-upper and more than once choked on spit-up. He also insisted on sleeping on his belly - screamed and threw a fit if he was on his back and just refused to sleep; he learned how to roll over at a very, very young age as well as he was so adamant that he sleep on his belly. Before we bought this I could not get a decent night's sleep for fear that something was going to happen to him - I kept waking up constantly to check on him and every little noise would send me into a fully awake panic. This product works like a charm! The alarm did go off a couple of times and woke him up enough to start breathing again or got us up in time to help the baby (it sets off the alarm if no motion is detected for 10 seconds). It saved my sanity and most likely my precious baby. I would strongly suggest this to anyone - it may seem expensive but after having used it I would have happily paid a great deal more. The only thing to remember is when they wake up to eat in the middle of the night you need to remember to shut off the monitor or you will scare your spouse to death when the alarm goes off. :-)
