[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with the Nanit Smart Baby Monitor System.
We absolutely love this baby monitor. The camera quality is amazing, providing a clear picture both day and night, and the setup process was quick and easy. One of our favorite features is the breathing motion monitoring, which gives us extra peace of mind while our little one sleeps. We also use the sleep dashboard and real time notifications daily to keep track of sleep patterns and routines. The Nanit has helped us feel more connected to our child whether we're at home or away, and being able to check in from our phones is incredibly convenient. We also appreciate being able to share access with caregivers so everyone stays informed. Overall, this monitor has made our daily routine easier, improved our confidence as parents, and has become an essential part of our family's day to day life. We highly recommend it to other parents looking for a reliable and feature-packed baby monitor.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The nanit was a little difficult to set up. It took me some trial and error and way more time than I thought it would. I had trouble getting the camera to connect to my wifi upstairs (our router is downstairs). They do recommend having the router close to the nanit or buying a wifi extender but I didn't want to have to move my router or buy an additional product.
Once I got it set up it was really cool to see how clear the display was. I like having the 8 in monitor screen apart from my phone too. I could keep that on while she was napping or sleeping and then I didn't have to constantly be checking my phone. I like that I can also see her from my phone though. I was able to check on her from my friend's house (when she was put to bed by dad). I like that you can customize settings for alerts. I didn't want to be alerted for every noise and movement so I set it to only tell me if she is crying or standing or somehow out of bed (my daughter is 22 months FYI).
One of my other favorite things is the little sped up videos. You can watch a recap of your child's night. We were laughing at one of them where I was looking for her paci all around the crib. It's cute to see my husband checking in on her and saying good night too.
The monitor only came with a breathing band for 6-12 pounds. My daughter is 22 months old so I wasn't able to test the breathing feature without buying an additional product. I wish I had had the Nanit when my son was a newborn just home from the NICU. It would have alleviated my fears a lot and allowed me to sleep easier. It is cool that you can buy sleep sacks and pjs to track breathing as well though.
I like the two way talk function and that you can turn on a night light or sound if you want to. I like that it analyzes her sleep and lets me know how long she was awake, how long she cried, how many times we had to check in on her, etc. It gives her a sleep score and gives us tips on improving her sleep. It even tells me when she fell asleep and how long she has been asleep.
I did have some issues with the product. Occasionally the monitor will tell me she is still in bed or asleep when I know she's not even in the room. I have reached out to their support about this issue and they are trying to help. We haven't completely figured it out yet. I also had an issue with the 8 inch display where the entire screen looked like static and I couldn't touch anything on the screen or hear anything or select anything. Somehow the issue resolved on its own.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The nanit baby monitor with the home display has changed the game for my family.
I have a 18 month son and 1 on the way. We have been using the nanit since he was born and it has been great to be able to check in on him while I’m working or even to give grandma access to his camera so she can check in on him even though she lives half way across the world. The nanit has made connection so much easier. Even being able to speak to him with the speaker system has been great for those late night wakings where he needs reassurance to go back to bed. Even grandma sometimes sings him a lullaby before bed through the speaker. We could have never done that without the nanit.
When nanit came out with the home display it was the greatest addition to the system. My mom watched my son regularly, and she isn’t the most technology savvy person. The iPad similar system has made it easier for her to check in him during nap times. It has also helped me at night time to just rely on the home display and not have to be glued to my phone all night worried about him. I’m grateful that the option exists to check through the phone or the display. Some days you just don’t want to be glued to your phone and it gives you the flexibility to take the home display with you around the house. We took our nanit on a recent ski trip to Canada and it has made all the difference to be able to just check your phone and see your little one sleeping.
With another little one on the way we are excited to be able to see both of them on one screen. I am so grateful we got the nanit as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel because it has been a great addition to our nursery and stays as a staple item in my son’s room with the floor stand. We love our Nanit!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this baby monitor to test through Stellar Product Testing Panel.
First impressions: the monitor is extremely high quality and high tech, especially compared to a different model I was using. I was blown away by the video quality.
Set up: it was somewhat complicated given that it's Wi-Fi based, so there were a few pain points, but after about 45 min or so I had the stand and monitor set up and got it all connected.
Daily Use: Like I mentioned above, this monitor has a high video quality which I appreciate. It was a nice to get a clear picture of my child and hear them clearly as well. My child is 1.5 so I did not use the breathing band, but I could see that being an amazing feature if you had a newborn. I love being able to watch clips from the previous night(although I don't love having to pay for a subscription in the future, more on this later). I like that the monitor holds a charge really well, I only need to charge it every couple of nights.
Loves: high quality video and audio, fun and useful tech. Monitor holds a long charge.
Cons: upon setting it up, the only way I could activate the camera was signing up for a subscription and putting in my credit card. I highly dislike that given the price point of this monitor. One other minor annoyance, on the monitor the volume buttons are placed backwards. I would think the volume up would be next to the power button, but it's the volume down button and I constantly hit it thinking I'm turning up the volume.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using the Nanit Smart Baby Monitor System, I found several things I really liked, along with a few drawbacks.
Pros: I love the large 8-inch display screen. The camera quality is very clear, and the night vision works great. The room temperature and humidity monitoring are a nice bonus because they help me make sure my baby is comfortable while sleeping. I also really like the breathing tracking feature. It gives me extra peace of mind knowing Nanit is monitoring my baby’s breathing throughout the night.
Cons: The battery life on the display tablet doesn’t last as long as I would like. I also don’t love having to put the breathing band around my baby, as it feels like one extra layer when they’re already wearing pajamas and a sleep sack.
Overall, I would continue using this product and would recommend it to friends. I prefer it over other leading baby monitor brands I’ve tried because of the video quality, monitoring features, and overall user experience.
I was given this baby monitor to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our family loves the Nanit Smart Baby Monitor System! When we received the system from Stellar Product Testing Panel to try out, we already had one Nanit camera in use. Adding the second camera to our app and setting it up with the floor stand and monitor took about 15 minutes. The camera is very sleek and modern looking making it easy to blend into any home aesthetic. The floor stand comes with little panels to help hide the cords as well which is much appreciated!
As mentioned, we have two cameras, one in the bedroom overlooking the crib and one in the living room overlooking the playpen. The camera in the bedroom uses the floor stand which allows for a great view of our son’s crib area while he sleeps. We utilize the portable tablet monitor for the bedroom area as well so we can carry it around with us throughout the house after our little one goes to bed. We love this option, so we do not have to keep the monitor open on our phones. The monitor works great at alerting us to any cries or movement. We are so thankful for this setup as well as our little one is on a pulse ox monitor that is within view of the camera so we can see his saturation numbers at a glance without having to disturb his sleep.
A feature in the app we absolutely love is the memories feature. We have captured cute moments with us playing together and been able to capture firsts we otherwise would not have memories of! Having two cameras in the main places our little one spends his time is wonderful for when one of us is on the go. We can always check in to see what is going on! Before receiving the second camera, we had a different popular camera in the crib area and adding the Nanit has been a huge improvement. I’d highly recommend the Nanit Smart Baby Monitor System for any family but especially for medical families!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly, this monitor has become one of those things we use every day without even thinking about it. It helps me feel connected to my little one even when I’m cooking, cleaning, or in another room. Instead of constantly checking in, I can quickly look at the app and know everything is okay, which gives me a lot of peace of mind.
The features I probably use the most are the sleep dashboard, notifications, and two-way audio. I like being able to see how my child’s sleep is going and notice patterns over time. The notifications are helpful because I don’t have to keep opening the app, and the two-way audio has come in handy when my little one needs a little reassurance before I walk into the room.
The setup was very straightforward. I was expecting it to take longer, but it was actually pretty easy. I also liked being able to move the monitor between rooms depending on where we were spending most of the day.
More than anything, it’s made me feel more confident and less anxious as a parent. There have been plenty of times when I checked the monitor instead of rushing into the room and realized everything was perfectly fine. Small things like that make a big difference. It’s become a helpful part of our routine and gives our family a little extra peace of mind every day.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I really like the Nanit baby monitor and stand! Once you get past the initial setup, it is incredibly easy to use every day.
It did take me a little while to figure out how to get everything connected at first. Shortly after that initial connection, it did disconnect on me and I had to spend some time troubleshooting it—though, to be fair, that might have just been my own WiFi acting up.
A quick heads-up for anyone buying this: it comes with a physical monitor, but I don’t really use it at all. I much prefer the app and rely solely on it! The app is fantastic and gives me total peace of mind because it allows me to easily check in on my toddler whenever I need to.
What I Love: **The App:** Total game-changer. I rely on it 100% over the parent unit.
**Sound Detection:** The sound detection level is great. If there’s a loud noise in the other room, it instantly alerts my phone so I’m always in the loop.
**The Stand:** It’s super sturdy and gives a great view.
If I could change one minor thing, I do wish the base of the stand were a bit smaller to save a little floor space. But even with that and the initial setup problem, it's a great system and I’d recommend it to other parents and purchase myself!
