MonBaby Smart Baby Monitor, Pink

The sensor in this unit is excellent it picks up respiratory movements wonderfully. The software is great too. My wife remarked that the flashing blue dot on our little lads shirt made him look like a mini 'Ironman'. Multi-graphing of all the measure parameters is great. Sadly the range is dreadful, really dreadful. We tried iphone/ipad/kindle fire/misc android devices and with all of them when the device is more than 2.5 meters away from the sensor it drops the connection. We disabled wifi and bluetooth on all the other stuff in the house and turned off anything that could be causing interference. I used a wifi and bluetooth sniffer on an android phone to see if we were being bombarded by strong signals from the neighbours (we weren't). I contacted the manufacturer and they were great and had the best tech service I have ever experienced. They had a new wifi protocol where you can use an android device next to the child as a 'hub' and relay the signal over wifi. We set that up but sadly that proved unreliable as well, with connection dropping several times a night so with a heavy heart we sent it back. It would have been wonderful if the connection was more reliable. I hope that they get this sorted because if they do this will be the best baby monitor out there (but not as it stands sadly).

I very rarely write reviews but I honestly feel this saved my 2 month old son’s life last night. The baby was feeding, I was falling asleep after getting off a plane and the baby must have snuggled in and would have suffocated but the alarm went off and woke me up and so I would recommend this product. I keep everything on when he’s in the cot and just keep the fall alert and movement detector on when he is out of the cot. It is easy to use and it does provide peace of mind.

The battery wasn’t very good on the device I received. The first battery I had lasted a week. The second lasted just over 2 weeks. I bought some batteries and they lasted longer but still died within a month. I contacted the MonBaby company and they were amazing. They arranged for me to send my device back and replaced it with an updated version which should be better with battery. I didn’t have a fed ex near me so they arranged for the new device to come to me, and I give the fed ex delivery guy my device back. They then also sent me some brand new batteries. Very pleased with how it was dealt and the new product.

Great product and idea for new parents. We had an incident with our 2 months old daughter falling unconscious, luckily with one of us present to wake her up again and take her to hospital for further investigation, without possible reason found…After some browsing on the Internet we found the MonBaby and decided to order it. Upon delivery, both supplied batteries where empty so we had our doubts that it was actually working until the day after when we had the possibility to purchase a new battery. The signal is so weak that it does not even go through a wooden door. Solved it by placing a separate iPhone in the room where our daughter sleeps together with a traditional sound baby monitor to forward the sounds from the iPhone in the room running MonBaby app. Like the idea with the product, however the signal must be better and more reliable before I could make a recommendation of it. Battery life time for us using if for ~ 6 weeks have been battery change once a week. Possibility to see/log sleeping pattern (last 7 days or something) could be a good feature in coming updates, see the "graphs" function shown on the website of the product however not available within the last MonBaby app currently available for download when I'm writing this review.

As people are writing, the battery life is really short (I change the battery weekly) and Bluetooth connection is really short.But this still works well.I use this MonBaby and baby monitor, so I let my phone in the bedroom and I check my baby in the monitor from living room.So if something happens when I’m in the living room, the MonBaby alarm tells me though the monitor.About the false alarms, yes I’ve got several times even though my baby breath normally.But I think getting false alarms are much better than no alarms when something happened.So for me, this device helps me a lot.Really good to buy.

Brilliant. The app needs a little more polish, but I can see that happening with the next couple of updates.The complaints about range may be justified, but we use this at night in the same room so it’s a non issue. Bluetooth is not a long range interface. Our baby tends to want to roll over and sleep on her front and this gives us a heads up.

This product has proved to be a life saver. It saved my grandsons life by sounding the App alarm waking his parents up in time to resuscitate.Literally a lifesaver.

This product is amazing, my daughter was kept in the NICU after birth due to breathing problems- so this device is an absolute dream for me as I can get rest knowing I will get alerted if she stops breathing or turns onto her stomach!!! The mon baby team are also really helpful and fantastic - if you have any questions or problems they sort it straight away!
