Product Information

Mumsnet user BellaNutella88 agrees saying “ We tried it for reassurance. It was going off immediately even when I was watching him wriggling in his cot. We decided not to use it.” What’s the Tommee Tippee Dreamee like to use day-to-day?

Slip the control box underneath the mattress and keep out of reach of baby, placing it as far away from the movement sensor mat as possible. This monitor just comes with the camera that connects to your smart device via Wi-Fi and Sense-U’s free app, but other more advanced options are available from the brand including the Baby Monitor 3 that comes with a device that attaches to your baby’s clothes or nappy to monitor their temperature, their movements, and if they’ve rolled over. There’s also a Pan-Tilt-Zoom Video model that allows you to move the camera via your phone, and the Video + Breathing version that can monitor your child’s breathing (much like the Angelcare AC527). A HD colour screen and night vision (so that you see your baby in the dark) often come as standard, with some models also including remote control camera functions that let you zoom, tilt and pan (useful for spotting where your baby has wriggled to in the cot) and record footage (useful to confirm that your babysitter meant it when they said your toddler had behaved angelically). Jessica: Yes I think I would absolutely choose this product above any of the others. I’ve used two other leading brand monitors in the last 5 years and this is, without a doubt, the best I’ve used. I also have friends and family who have seen our monitor and have been amazed at how brilliant it is. I think for its ease of use, 360 vision, movement sensor and excellent night vision it is the best of the best. I cannot fault anything about this product.She then drew up a final shortlist of 12 baby monitors and got to work testing them all over a three-month period when her youngest son was just six months old. How we tested Key specs – Range: 450m; Additional features: Low-battery indicator, out-of-range indicator, long battery life, light-up display when baby moves, belt clip; Warranty: 1 year Place a sound source such as a radio, in the nursery at least 1 to 1.5 metres away from the baby unit, close the nursery door and go to another room with the parent unit only.

Jenny thought that this Tommee Tippee baby monitor would suit first-time and new parents, who would appreciate the sensory mat and might need that extra bit of reassurance that their baby is sleeping safely. HD colour monitor with long-distance 300m range and VOX mode: Monitor your baby from different rooms and the garden via a 4.3-inch clear display. Save battery power with the VOX mode feature. The app offers two-way talk, sound and movement notifications, and temperature and humidity information, as well as breathing measurements when you use the Nanit swaddle or wearable breathing band. Both of these need to be bought separately or as part of a larger bundle. Then each morning the app also provides baby's sleep stats and creates a time-lapse highlight reel of their sleep. Of course, not everyone wants this kind of detail but you can’t fault this monitor for its technology. If you’re reassured by stats and analytics, it’s worth spending the extra money or keeping an eye out for a deal.Ensure the Camera and movement sensor mat are in the same room, less than 10 metres apart, or you may be unable to detect movement. Some WiFi monitors let you save clips, hook up to Alexa or Google Assistant and come with Cloud storage too.

Movement sensors: Some monitors, generally on the more expensive end of the spectrum, come with a movement sensor that can be slipped under your baby’s mattress. This will detect your little one’s breathing and will sound an alarm if no movement is detected after a given period of time. It can be great for extra peace of mind, particularly with newborns.

If the Sensor Pad switch is ON without the Sensor Pad being connected securely, there will be an error tone from the Baby Unit and the Sensor Pad icon in the Parent Unit will flash. The text ‘PLEASE CONNECTTICE SENSOR PAD' will also appear on the Parent Unit.

Turn the Sensor Pad switch to ON. The Sensor Pad LED on the Baby Unit will light up if movement is detected. You may know the VTech brand better for its noisy, brightly coloured range of toys, but it also sells parenting essentials like this audio baby monitor which is impressively affordable for what it has to offer. Thanks to the use of so-called DECT (which stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) technology, the parent unit connects securely to the baby unit promising clear sound without interference.Simply position the pad lengthways under the mattress directly underneath where your baby sleeps. The monitor’s movement sensor pad is sensitive and can detect even small movements. The mat will alert you if your baby is still for a prolonged period of time, or if there’s a sudden big movement in their sleeping area. The baby movement monitor includes a sensor mat that is placed underneath your baby’s mattress. You will be alerted if baby is still for a prolonged period or if there’s a sudden big movement in their sleeping area. It also has a CrySensor that listens out for baby’s cries during the night and can play lullabies or nature sounds to help soothe and settle your little one to save you from having to rush to their room every time they stir. It also took a while for her to learn how to navigate around the menu - something which was also noted by Which? testing. Does the Tommee Tippee Dreamee have any extra features? Alex: I would definitely recommend including the full user guide with this product as it was not practical to search online to find a fix to the issues I was facing when setting up the movement pad. I would also recommend providing some additional guidance on setting the sensitivity of the movement pad as it took a while to get this right for my baby. Initially, our parent tester Catherine found the sensor far too sensitive, “it just kept beeping to tell me the baby wasn’t moving but that was because he was asleep.”
