Keep an Ear on Baby

mini_01

The MINI Avent Baby Monitor is a safe, user-friendly product that helps parents keep an “ear” on their own mini-me. In the car, home or anywhere else, simply place the compact device near baby and it will alert parents when the little one has woken from a nap. Using the dedicated smartphone app, parents can set it remotely and listen in from their phone.

New Parents’ Best Friend

After almost losing their minds trying and failing to figure out how to operate a baby monitor to keep an eye on their first-born, designers Satu Niemelä and Erasmus van Niekerk vowed to create an easy-to-use monitoring solution with even greater functionality to use with their upcoming set of twins. The result is a monitor that not only provides live video and audio, but tracks vital signs, records developmental milestones and even lets distant family members tap into the feed to be closer to baby! They call it Onni, their 4th child!

Monbaby Smart Button Is a Next-Gen Baby Monitor

Monbaby Baby Monitor 01

Let’s be honest, baby monitors have been long overdue a redesign! Monbaby offers all the important aspects of your baby’s sleep and displays them on your smartphone, provided that you are in this smart button’s range.

Wearable tech now has a new target audience: babies. There are plenty of smartwatches and fitness trackers, already, so the world should probably try to makes some innovations in this compartment. Monbaby looks like an oversized button that collects data while your baby is sleeping and transmits it via Bluetooth 4.0 to your smartphone.

Had it been another kind of device and not one for monitoring children, the manufacturer could have taken into consideration another method of synchronization or another wireless technology for connecting the device to the smartphone. But since it’s babies that we’re talking about, it’s easy to understand why they went for Bluetooth.

You shouldn’t be away from your baby, so the device’s 200 ft (61 m) range is more than enough. However, the data collected by Monbaby is stored in the cloud, so the sleep patterns of your youngster can be easily shared with the other members of the family or with the doctor. Imagine that? A few years ago, such a device would have been unconceivable, and not it has the potential of being sold all over the world.

The device is powered by a coin cell battery that can be easily replaced in case it runs out. Regarding the compatibility of this device to the baby’s wardrobe, you shouldn’t worry. Monbaby can be easily attached to any clothes, and it does not influence the baby or his behavior in any way.

MonDevices, the developers of the Monbaby smart button, are looking on Kickstarter for the funds necessary for mass manufacturing their product. The goal of the campaign is not even that great, being set by the company at $10,000, so it should be easy to reach, especially considering that there are 49 more days to go at press time.

Early birds can secure a Monbaby button for their baby for just $79. The price includes the device itself and the iPhone app. It’s a pity that Mondevices hasn’t considered making the smart button compatible with Android from the start. Developing an Android app for Monbaby is conditioned by the campaign getting to $100,000.

Baby’s New Bestie

This creation by JC Restrepo is a clever twist on the classic baby monitor that makes just plain sense. A camera and sensors are built in to a playful giraffe character that literally keep a second set of eyes and ears on baby! Not only does it provide live video and audio, but it gives real-time temperature measures and even alerts when sudden (potentially threatening) movements are made. Better yet, it pairs with both desktops and a wristwatch for enhanced monitoring anytime, anywhere.
