This monitor is one of my complete favourite buys for scrumpy. At first I thought it was ridiculous and screamed out ‘nervy parent trying to throw away their money’, but using it gives me such reassurance.  It really is brilliant to stop that ridiculous paranoia that is ‘oh my goodness, he has been quiet for at least 20 minutes, do you think he is ok, what if he has suffocated?’ It creeps up on all of us at one time or another, even the most laid back and calm are not immune to the odd pang. 

In short, this device stopped me going in and checking (inavertently waking up) my new born every hour, just beacuse my baby blues were telling me that something was wrong. 

The movement pad is excellent and picks up babe’s breathing, I can’t tell you how many times it has gone off when we have lifted scrumpy out of his bed, but I quite like that, as it continually lets me know that it is working! His breathing translates as a little moving pendulum on the parents handset; which has been glanced at thousands of times now and is a wonderfully reassuring thing to watch.

The second best feature is the superior sound monitor. When everything is calm and quiet, the parent receiver is completely silent, and when babe makes a noise it clicks itself on and lets you hear what is going on in the room. Although, making you jump sometimes, this is a perfect solution, lots of monitors I have seen, give out a constant monitoring background noise from the nursery, this is extremely annoying, unnecessary and really wont let you properly relax. 

The next best feature I think is the thermometer, not much more to say on this, except that it will stop you spending money on an additional thermometer for the nursery. 

This is an excellent product that I would thoroughly recommend, although it is expensive it more than makes up for it by easing your nerves considerably!

This really is a great car seat, Scrumps loved it from day one, and I now have killer biceps as proof from lugging it back and forward to the car on a daily basis. I was in our local not so long ago and saw a lady carrying her newborn twins in two of these, she must now look like Jeff Capes!!

The seat consistently comes first in all of the safety tests, and is pretty much the best baby car seat on the market. It is also compatible with Bugaboo, Quinny & Icandy strollers making it a popular choice for the yummy mummy brigade! Scrumps only has to look at it and he is nearly asleep, it’s as if the headrest is laced with rohypnol, thus making car journeys an absolute dream!
Oh and a by note, it comes with a sun canopy in the seat rim, which I only found out about when I went in to John Lewis’ and asked where I could buy one….in my defence it was very well hidden!!

I cannot recommend this seat highly enough!
