Angelcare has recently launched the Movement Only Monitor AC300 (RSP
£59.99). This movement monitor is the best choice for parents with twins (or
triplets, etc) or parents who already have a sound only monitor and would like
to add a movement monitor. It is ultra-portable so perfect for travelling as well.
The Angelcare Movement Only Monitor AC300 includes the well-known
SensorPad and a nursery unit that works on batteries. The nursery unit has a
low battery indicator and batteries will last approx. 3 months. The SensorPad
technology, which is pioneered by Angelcare, sounds an alarm if it has not
detected baby’s movements for 20 seconds.
The sensitivity of the SensorPad can be adjusted to ensure optimal
performance with almost all mattresses and bed sizes. Angelcare, the
worldwide market leader in movement monitors, now has a complete range of
monitors, offering an affordable solution for every situation. The third monitor
in the range is the Sound Only Monitor AC420 (RSP £49.99).
