FTM looking for opinions on breathing sensor pads?

lisajewall

I haven't heard a whole lot of opinions on this topic from people I know, other than one person who had mentioned a lot of false alarms with it for various reasons, but moving off of it etc. So I'm just wondering others experiences with it?
Did it cause a lot of false alarms?
Is the alarm loud? Does it end up waking up the baby? (An issue if there are a lot of false alarms) Any insight would be appreciated!

We used the Angel Care with my daughter until she was out of her crib (19m). It provided peace of mind and we will use a movement alarm again. A friend lost her son to SIDS so that experience hit really close to home. There were a few false alarms but nothing excessive. The alarm never woke my daughter up. The alarm is extremely loud (as it should be). We plan to use a Snuza this time only because it was a hassle having to unplug the Angelcare and bring all of the components when we traveled or my daughter stayed with the inlaws.

Snuza makes a clip that attaches to the front of LO clothes. Love it. We got the snuza hero.set and its great.

We used the AngelCare until she started rolling around too much in her crib (which is when the false alarms started). Yes, something could still happen after that point, but I felt a little bit safer once she was able to roll herself if she was caught somewhere.

This.  We only had false alarms when taking DD out to nurse and forgetting to turn it off, then later when she could roll all over the crib.  If she got to the edge it would alarm, but as PP said, by then I was a lot less worried.  I would check on her, then silence the alarm.  Sometimes if she had a cold or something or for some reason I was worried, I might reposition her in the middle again.  By the time the false alarms were a nusance I didn't feel like I needed to have the motion pad turned on anymore.

The Levana clip on buy Snuza has worked very well for my sister and her baby. It is 75 bucks at wal-mart.
