Angelcare Video Movement and Sound Monitor

chelsea121206

Anyone have any reviews/insight for this monitor? I am looking to have both the video and motion sensor capabilities, and besides using two different monitors, this seems to be the only option. The reviews are pretty mixed that I can find, so just wondering if anyone has any personal experience with it?

We choose to skip the angelcare because you can most successfully use it in the crib, but I was not expecting dd to sleep in her room in the early months, when the SIDS risk is highest.  Instead, we purchased a video monitor and a HALO sensor.  It ended up being a lot cheaper and much more portable.

We have a regular video monitor and a Snuza (a little pager like movement monitor).  I like it way better because it goes with DS wherever he is sleeping, which these days is never his crib!!!

Oops. I meant snuza. That is what I get for working and bumping at the same time.

I am a FTM, but did a lot of research and decided on the snuza and a video monitor. Then I can take the snuza anywhere unlike the angelcare

We have the angle care and we loved it. We also had a snuza for when she was in other things sleeping. My only complaint with the snuza is the battery life isn't very great and it can be a PITA to find the battery. That is why I'm glad we had the angle care for crib and just he snuza for when she was in her swing or PNP. The snuza also left and imprint on her stomach when she was swaddled, so I wasn't a fan of that.

We had false alarms all the time with the Angel Care. It scared us to death at first and then was just annoying. I much prefer the Snuza, never had a false alarm and can wear it anywhere.
