Review on 👶 MonBaby Baby Breathing Monitor: Tracks Breathing Movement, Temperature, Rollover, Sleeping Position. Sends Smartphone Alerts for Baby Attention by Amanda Stevenson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Keeps turning off, doesn't work with Snoo, not as informative as Sense-U-Baby

We tested two award-winning baby breath monitors for the same price: Monbaby and Sense-U Infant. We'll probably bring Monbaby back. Three reasons: 1) The device keeps disconnecting from our phones. At first I thought it was my phone so I deleted it and asked my husband to install the app on his iPhone. The same thing happened. We have to watch the monitor. 2) We have a snoo bed. It's a robotic crib that swings from side to side and acts as a kind of "night babysitter". This was necessary for us new parents who would otherwise be deprived of sleep. Monbaby only recognizes movements. This means that when our child is in Snoo and running, they will see "movement". Hypothetically, if our child stops breathing while in snoo mode, we will not be alerted as there will still be "movement" due to the snoo rocking. In fact, when our child sits in his car seat and stops breathing, most likely Monbaby will not notify us because it detects "movements" even though they come from the car. 3) Which brings us to the Sense u Baby comparison. The latter registers respiration and heartbeat. So when our baby stops breathing, Sense-U-Baby will warn us whether Snoo is walking or not.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
