When I was pregnant, I wanted to buy everything straight away as I was so excited. I found this Tommee Tippee monitor on offer at £35 in Asda which I thought was a really really good price. It is a slightly old model now (I bought it in May 2009) but still retails at approx £50 and is still quite widely available. I chose this mostly as it came with a motion detector, but also as it is a well known brand which I trust. Ironically my dad later told me that when I was born (1987) Tommee Tippee was considered cheap, like the own brand version of stuff. Nowadays it is considered to be one of the best brands. The monitor promises 'Suresound technology' which is ...  Read the complete review

I bought this when pregnant with my daughter as I was so worried about cot death and thought this would give me huge reassurance. It did! We used this with the sensor mat from when we brought our daughter home (even when she was in the Moses basket next to our bed!) until she was maybe a year or so old and then just used it as a monitor as she was moving around so much the alarm kept going off when she was around a year old. I have read some of the other reviews and the comments about false alarms. We did get these I suppose once - three times a week but I didn't mind to be honest. It gave me great reassurance that the unit was working and I never minded ...  Read the complete review

I bought this monitor when having my first child, it promised to give reassurance from the threat of cot death. It is supposed to be the best, so we paid £109 and ordered it from a baby catalogue company. We liked the fact that it came with the sensor mat to monitor movement, night light to give a soft glow and has a room thermometer on the nursery unit. There are flashing lights on each unit to provide reassurance at a glance. It provided all the aspects that we wanted. The only complaint at that time was the multiple false alarms we experienced. The first time it happened my heart all but stopped. We used the unit for approx 8 months before ...  Read the complete review

When I was pregnant we knew we'd have to get a baby monitor, this one peaked my interest with the sensor pad for added peace of mind, however, the price put me off. My husband then said 'if we don't get this and something does happen you'll wish you'd have spent the extra money' and, as it happened I got £70 from work as a leaving gift and I managed to get it on offer on boots.com at £85. I have to say this is the best £85 I have spent on my little boy to date (he's 18 months now and I still use it). At first we had an issue, like a lot of others, of it going off constantly, however, we realised that you can adjust the sensitivity of the pad and ours wasn't ...  Read the complete review

When I was pregnant with my daughter I made a list of all the stuff we'd need & monitors were one of the "non-essential, but good to have" items. I looked through various catalogues & websites to see what was available & the Tommee Tippee SureSound Monitor caught my eye. They aren't just a listening monitor but also have a movement sensor pad. A big worry for many new parents is the threat of cot death (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), and this product plays on those fears, as an extra safeguard you can take. That's why the movement sensor appealed to me and even though it was a fair bit more expensive than other more basic monitors, I parted ...  Read the complete review
