Who has a Tommee Tippee monitor?

I know there has been probably been a million threads on this topic but...

I'm trying to decided whether to get an angelcare sound and movement monitor or the Tommee Tippee ultimate reassurance monitor. They both seem to have the same features but the TT one is about $120 cheaper! Everyone seems to think the angelcare one is great but was wondering if anyone has tried the TT one and how you found it?

We ours too.

It really gives us peace of mind. especially at night.

We often have false alarms, I think my bubs either stretches without breathing, or wriggles slightly off the sensor pad.. we have to be precise in where we lay her in her cot, so that her torso is exactly over the middle of the sensor pad.

We went with the TT over the AC as we compared both and decided that they were almost identical, though different prices. We had already heard good things about the TT, so went with that one. Like Katie_R we also would have got the AC if we thought it would do a better job.

Here and here are links to a couple review sites for the TT.

Also, we actually found that a fan, or even a slight breeze through an open window, can send a movement signal to the sensor.. so if your baby has indeed stopped breathing, one of these two things can trick the sensor into thinking the baby is moving IYKWIM so we are quite careful about these two things while baby is in her cot with the monitor on.

Overall we are really happy with this monitor, it is more expensive than other standard monitors but I personally don't think anyone can put a price on their baby's life so we are very glad to have it, just in case

We have a TT one and it is good - most of the time :)

We have had a couple of false alarms and Im not sure why because Ava has still been on the sensor pad area. But in saying that, I've read people getting false alarms from the AC one as well.

I ours, I wouldn't sleep without it. We've had a couple of false alarms, usually when the pad isn't positioned properly under her. She's had quite a complicated respiratory history so it's been a real relief to know she has the monitor on.

RunningT - I'd say either you don't have it set up properly, or it's a faulty one coz you shouldn't have that many false alarms. If all the connections etc. are all joined up properly and it's directly positioned under baby then I'd say take it back and get it replaced.

I read up on the reviews for all the sound and movement monitors and found that the Tomee Tippee s & M monitor seemed to get a lot of reports of interference around the house and some people said it was almost unusuable as the interference was so bad.
So because of this we've gone for the Angelcare digital.
The Respisense was also highly recommended but doesn't have all the functions and features of the latest Angelcare monitor.

We have the Tommee Tippee one and are happy with it. The only reason we didn't get the AC (after a lot of research) was because there were none left in the country in time for Lilys birth as the new version was due out end of August. We have a lot of false alarms but in saying that, I really think it is her, not the monitor. I have watched Lily sleeping when the alarm has gone off (and she's in a safety sleep so no chnace of her rolling off the mat) and she often doesnt move at all when she's in a deep sleep. It used to do my head in but am used to it now. We are starting to wean ourselves (DH and I lol) off the motion sensor part though. The good points about the AC would be the 2 pads (more coverage) and the many channels - TT only has 3 and the static is often unbearable. Other than that I think they are pretty much the same and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend either, def worth the money if you have it to spare IMO!

Oh and we had a faulty Respisense with the gremlins, it kept going off every couple of hours, and they replaced it no probs.

I think the most expensive AC model tells you the room temperature.
