Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor & Wall Mount ($258, originally $300)
Ask about baby monitors in a parent group, and you're bound to get at least three recommendations for the Nanit. The smart monitor is ideal for tech-savvy, data-driven caregivers.
The 1080-pixel HD video lets you see the baby through the app with impressive clarity. Plus, the Nanit has a breathing band that tracks breaths per minute to give parents peace of mind (although it shouldn't replace in-person check-ins). The baby monitor also allows for sleep and room-temperature tracking and lets you play white noise to promote restful sleep.
"This app and system are great for so many reasons. 1. I can check on my baby just like any other baby monitor. 2. The background audio lets me hear my baby without needing to constantly stream, so my battery is conserved. 3. The sleep analysis helps me understand how my baby sleeps and recognize any patterns," one happy parent raves.
