Baby Products Reviews of Graco Angelcare Movement Sensor with Nursery Monitor
Customer Review: Won't work if baby moves a lot
Summary: 1 Stars
Do not waste your money on this product if you have a baby that moves a lot in the crib!!!
We used it for a week until we just got tired of the 10 false alarms we had every night, because my daughter moves a lot in her crib, and often ends up against the rail (and never the same one). It was very stressful for us, and for her, so we just stopped using it.
Now, I would have given it 3 stars, because it does work for a lot of people, but I called their customer service and they said it's pretty much normal for it to beep a lot if you have a baby that moves a lot. I just wish they mentioned this in their product description, because now I'm out $70.
So this really deserves one star for me. If your baby doesn't move too much, it should work though.
Customer Review: 2 tin cans & string would work better.

Awful.
Piece of garbage.
Let me start w/ the sensor. Difficult to install & it changes the manufactured purpose of your infant mattress. But believe me, that's the good part.
The monitor itself is the absolute worst electronic I've purchased in 20 years. How? Why should it be that bad? I have no idea... It emits a perpetual humming noise. Constantly and it is not a quiet one. If you intend to plug this into an outlet w/ any other device - it will get worse. If the flimsy power chord touches anything - it will get worse.
Also, that carabiner/belt-hook looking end on the monitor - isn't anything but decorative. Please, do not waste your money on this. I don't rant like this normally. I write reviews very infrequently. Do not buy this!
Customer Review: I love this product
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally bought this same item for my son 4 years ago and it was worth every penny. The alarm went off ONE time when my son was only 6 months old and to this day I will never no if I could have possibly saved his little life. I just gave birth two weeks ago to another beautiful little boy and this monitor was the first thing I purchased. The only minor thing I had to change was that when our air conditioner was turned on it was simulating movement and even when the baby was out of the crib the alarm was not going off. (I found this out when my baby woke up for a midnight feeding and I forgot to turn off the monitor) I had to rearrange the bedroom/crib but the monitor now works correctly and I can now have a peaceful nights sleep. Again, this product is worth every penny!Customer Review: worth the money

We splurged a little to get this monitor but we are very happy we did so. I sleep much better at night knowing that my baby's breathing is being monitored. The instructions indicate the sensor pad should be placed under the mattress directly under your baby with no bedding or padding in between. However, I've found the sensor will work even through a mattress, bedding, and a one inch thick sleep positioner. It's SUPER SENSITIVE which is GREAT! One thing to keep in mind - You should not have a ceiling fan on at night or have a strong draft in the room (such as an AC vent blowing directly onto your baby's crib). The unit will pick up air movement in the room. I highly recommend this product! I would not be resting at night as peacefully as I am without it.Customer Review: Sleep w/ ease (excepting the false alarms!)
Summary: 4 Stars
Our neighbor lent us his Angelcare Sensor when we brought our baby home, and let me tell you, I was such a nervous 1st time parent, I wouldn't have been able to sleep without it! We use the No-tic motion sensor, & while our baby was in his bassinet, it was great! We moved him to the crib, though, & have had two false alarms. Keep watch on your baby's sleeping patterns for a little while after you move them to the crib, because ours is a "scooter", moves himself out of his no-roll brace to the head of the crib, which caused himself to move out of the sensor's range twice, setting off the alarm (SLEEPLESS NIGHT!!!) After we readjusted it under the mattress, all was well, and we could sleep with peace of mind once again. This is a MUST for all parents!
