Best video monitor/apnea mat?

[devsdev]

Hi all,

We had a regular BT monitor for our older daughter. However our second little girl was born early and when she comes home I know I'll want a video monitor and possibly an apnea mat. Can anyone recommend a video monitor before we spend a ridiculous amount of money on one that's rubbish? It needs to have enough range for a Victorian house, hopefully including from the loft to the ground.

Thank you!

The summer infant range is very good, we have the one called Slim and secure

Angelcare apnea monitor is good

why did they recommend not getting a video monitor out of interest?

That's interesting, yes I can see how it might

Thanks all. I'll reconsider the apnea mat (or at least wait till discharge to decide if we need it). The video monitor will be useful anyway - else I'll probably keep running upstairs to check on her which will make me more anxious! Plus I intend to use white noise with her as well, and with my older girl we could only hear loud cries (which we could also hear without the monitor!).

The Summer Infant range looks great (and very expensive!) - will have a look on eBay or Gumtree, thank you.
