Angelcare Movement Sensor with Sound Monitor

Owners are consistently positive in their reviews of the Angelcare Movement Sensor with Sound Monitor, giving it near-perfect average scores on most user review sites. On the other hand, experts at the American Academy of Pediatric caution that the vast majority of parents don't need this type of cardiorespiratory monitor, and there there's no evidence that using such a monitor prevents Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in any way. Despite this, parents say they still get peace of mind from using the Angelcare Sensor, which alerts if your baby doesn't move for 20 seconds.

Owner-written reviews are the best source of information on the Angelcare Movement Sensor with Sound Monitor specifically. Amazon.com has the most posts on the Angelcare, but Target.com, Epinions, Walmart.com and Lilaguide.com have enough to make these sites worth a visit as well. ConsumerGuide.com also has a short entry on the Angelcare, with separate ratings for value, performance, ease-of-use and features. Note that the American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend these monitors for the vast majority of parents ("Pediatrics," April 2003).
