Following are the 2014 award winners:

The Angelcare AC401 landed the coveted Editors' Choice award.  “This was the most reliable unit we tested, due in part to its ability to run on batteries if a power failure were to occur,” states Dr. Juliet Spurrier.  “We like that it will also monitor room temperature and sound in addition to keeping tabs on baby’s motion.”

Named Top Pick for simplicity and ease of use was the Babysense 5s.  “A reliable unit that works in addition to your current video or sound monitor, and operates with a single touch of a button,” says Dr. Spurrier.  “This is a great feature for many sleepy-eyed parents out there.”

Best Value went to the wearable Levana Oma.  This unique monitor attaches directly to baby’s diaper to sense movement,” notes Dr. Spurrier.  “This is an affordable option ideal for families on the go.”

In addition to the reviews, BabyGearLab has also published a buying advice article titled "How to Choose the Best Movement Monitor."  This will guide parents through a series of questions to ask as they move forward in their monitor purchasing decision.

BabyGearLab runs the products in each category through a rigorous testing period consisting of real-life, hands-on use.  Their team consists of editors who are parents themselves, and in this case, a trained paramedic and his wife, who is a registered nurse, looked for situations that could pose any sort of safety threat to baby.  The goal is to not only find the product that functions the best, but one that excels in the area of health and safety.
