" ... The Nanit has certainly been the best in several categories including: picture quality, ease of use, and helping us to improve sleep habits. ... After hiring a sleep coach with our first child, I liked this function. ... "

Day reviews and sleep stats are great to review when you can't remember how long your baby took at all nap times - it will tell you total time for the day and night. ... I would absolutely recommend it for people who want to have more insight and reminders into when their baby is asleep, moving or waking up and time lapse recordings they can look back on. ... "

" ... The sound quality is fine (let's be honest, it's going to be as much limited by the speakers on your smartphone as anything else, but it's good to know that the mic and everything on the sending-side is of good quality). ... The Plus now also allows you to talk (or sing) to your child with an integrated speaker - something we don't really use, but is nice to have available. ... "
