Has anyone used these or know someone who has? I like the idea of their portability, but can't quite work out how the alarm bit actually works e.g. is it a separate unit, or does it just beep loudly? Would love some feedback. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I realise this is an old post, but did you ever find out more about the Snuza and how good it is? It doesn't seem to be very big in NZ as most people use AngelCare, but I like the portability of this and would also be able to use it in the baby hammock! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

how about a Respisense monitor? We have one for #2 so can use in hammock, but haven't tried it out yet as #2 still hasn't appeared ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yep, I was looking at Respisense first, then found Snuza which seems to do exactly the same but is cheaper (via Amazon UK) ... apparently you can use them both with washable nappies too but have to get the positioning of the device right. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

thats good to know cos I was concerned about the cloth nappies being too thick. We bought ours off TM for about $70, and it has well over half of its battery life left - so you might pick up a bargain that way? The snuza one looks good though too ------------- http://lilypie.com">

that was the other thing about respisense - couldn't find a NZ distributor if I need a replacement battery, whereas there is one or two places in NZ that sell them and the batteries are about $20 which isn't too bad. There's only 1 respisense (and no snuzas) on TradeMe, starting at $100 and they think the battery is going so I figured a new Snuza via UK for $140 would be better value ... have you tested Respisense on yourself? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

yip, it works perfectly. Not too worried about the battery cos I emailed the ozzy place that make them and they said easy to change, plus i only plan to use it for a few months until #1 frees up her anglecare (using til she is two). Just figured a baby who is any older than this will start pulling the respisense off anyway. Wow $100 for 2nd hand with low battery is pretty steep...maybe mention that to the seller? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have a Respisense (Ditto where you change the battery yourself) and I bought it in NZ (realize this is an old thread). I got it online from Scarecrow farms (they have a TradeMe shop as well as a website) and they also sell the batteries (about $15-20). I was pretty pleased with it(and their customer service as the first one I bought was defective), though we did have some cloth nappy related difficulties, but clipping it onto the waistband of a pair of night time pants or tights fixed that. ------------- 7/2010, 10/2012 and 1/2015 |
