I love mine, but beware - sometimes it won't go off if there is other pressure on the pads besides the baby.
We found this out one night when it was hot and I had the ceiling fan on in Keenan's room. I picked him up at 4am to feed, and forgot to turn the monitor off. Halfway through the feed, I see this flashing light - it's the monitor still going on as if Keenan is still in the cot.....
I did heaps of 'tests' with the ceiling fan, an oscillating fan and no fans, and it wouldn't alarm when the fans were puiitng 'air' pressure on the cot.
I still use mine with the pads, but we weigh up if we use fans or monitor when it's really hot!
I also test mine regularly - it won't stop SIDS, but at least it can alert you if bubs stops breathing.
