Angelcare Deluxe Movement Monitor

Comments about Peter J. Listro Associates 1009075 Angelcare Deluxe Movement Monitor:

I had purchased this monitor on the advice from some of our friends with little ones. I was drawn to the idea of the movement sensor, hoping that it would let me worry a little less about jumping up to check on our baby.
I opened the box and read the instructions and initiated setting up the monitor. AND STOPPED. There is a wire that runs from the sensor pad under the crib mattress to the in-room monitor which is recommend to be placed at least 3 ft away. Ok, so now I have a wire running along to floor to the monitor. Then the monitor itself must be plugged into the wall which means there is another wire running from the monitor to an outlet! Even if I re-arranged our nursery around the other outlets, there would be no way around the wire situation. I couldn't believe that this monitor was manufactured with the instructions advising to run the wire along the floor for 3ft! The length of the wire isn't even long enough for us to run it along the wall where it could be tacked safely away.
Needless to say, this product is going right back to the store and exchanged for a wireless monitor model. Back to researching monitors : (

Provides excellent peace of mind for people concerned about SIDS. Never had the alarm go off until we had our baby in her crib and she started to move around while she slept. She is almost 8 months now and often times curls up in the corner of the crib. Unfortunately, it's any corner any night, and the sensor just isn't big enough to pick her up. Last night the alarm went off 5 times throughout the night so it's now time to start looking into a new monitor

This system is a good system but does not last long. My son is 15 months. One of the parent monitors screen does not work anymore and the other parent monitor, that is only used on occasion, does not keep the charge. The movement sensor was great until my son was able to turn himself over while sleeping. After he learned how to do this, the sensor would beep non-stop as it did not sense his movement if he moved too far away from the middle of the crib. I have another baby on the way and will need to purchase another baby monitor as these no longer work the way they are supposed to. Lately, even while sitting on the charger, not moving anywhere, I get such bad static. Its so loud sometimes that it wakes me and my husband up in the middle of the night.

We love and depend on the this Angelcare monitor for peace of mind. I honestly don't know how people just have standard monitors anymore. We have had this unit for almost 1 year and it has held up well. One of the handsets is all of a sudden making a random interference noise about every 2-3 minutes. We have the replacement plan so it really isn't a huge deal. Especially since we can just use the other handset.

This device does give false alarms. We learned in the beginning that you have to take the time to set it to your surroundings. Because many small movements can be picked up by the sensor, we had to adjust it to accomodate her ceiling fan. It took us about 30 minutes one night to get it right to where we weren't setting the sensitivity too low, nor setting it too high to give off a false positive result.

My daughter is now 10.5 months old and scoots far away from the middle. We have her settings on just above a 3 (it goes to 5 I believe) and we hardly get a full blown alarm when she scoots to the edge. We do get the warning beep, go check on her, to find her on the edge. For me.. I'd rather have a million false alarms than no alarm..

For these reasons I give it 100%. There is no other device I would trust.

The breathing feature on our monitor never worked for our little girl. I assumed when she was born at 6lbs even that her tiny wieght was the reason we had so many false alarms. But we tried this feature again after she gained 10lbs. Still, the shrill noise that had parents crashing and cursing, and woke a safe, happy sleeping baby. For the money, skip this feature that does not work, spend a little more and get a camera one. Customer service sent us new pieces that also did not work, and when I expressed this they told us they could not do anything else for us. I felt strongly that I wanted them to take back the deffective monitor and allow me to get one that worked. Very clear that they would not do this. On the nights when your tiny one has a cold and breathes funny, you want this extra piece of mind that if anything happens, you have a safety measure in place. We paid for this feature, but have never been able to enjoy it, instead we were awakened to false alarms and had to get up to soothe a baby that was fine. Get (not angelcare) a camera monitor that has a temp readout!!

This monitor is great! I have been using it for 3 years and am so impressed. This came recommended from a co-worker who knew someone who lost a child to SIDS. It seemed a bit expensive, but I decided it was worth it. I'm so glad I did! It did take a few adjustments to make sure the sensitivity was at the right level, but has provided such security and peace of mind knowing that my baby was breathing all during the night and during naptime. I love the temperature control too. I have used this monitor in a pack 'n play, crib, toddler bed, and even a regular full-size bed. Works great in all of them.

This monitor works fine for listening to your baby's room, after you get it set up and get the alarms (that go off in the baby's room) turned off. The design however is terrible. If you happen to configure anything improperly, or if you change a setting on the device to which you are listening, you have potential to set off alarms from the unit sitting in the baby's room. For some reason, Angel Care felt it was useful to have a very loud speaker that beeps at your baby if something isn't right. It's totally ridiculous. Get a different brand with a better design that lets your child sleep.

With my first child, I really found this to offer me piece of mind to get some much needed sleep. The first few nights home we did not have it set up and I barely got any sleep - then after we set it up, my husband and I moved back into our bedroom and relied on the monitor. We both slept well and were able to hear our little one when we needed. We no longer hear every noise he makes. The temperature feature is also useful.

I did pick up our baby once and forgot to turn the monitor off and the alarm did not go off - our humidifier was too close and the vibration interferred.

This product has a tendency to go off often, but on more than one occasion it has gone off becase of true non-movement, and that makes all the false alarms with it. We purchased this when we had our first child and the alarm went off. I rushed into his room, and it appeared as if he wasnt moving. When I grabbed him he gasped. When we had our second son, I moved it to his crib. Just tonight it went off again. I touched his face and he did not repsond. I grabbed him and his head flopped back. I patted his back aggresively and he gasped. I know for sure he was not breathing, and this monitor alerted us in time to save his life.
