How old was your baby/toddler when you ditched the motion sensor?

when jack moved into a bed at 2 yrs 3mths mind you the first month of him being in a bed I couldn't sleep cause I kept getting up to check him

I weaned myself off using it when DS1 was 15 months in preparation for DS2 birth.

We have a big Boori sleigh cot and I just spaced sensors out and it was fine, never false alarms (apart from DH getting him out of cot and not turning off)

We stopped using out movement monitor when Caitlin went into her big girl bed at 2y 4m.

Exactly the same for us - we've never had a false alarm and have a big Boori cot too. We have the sensors spaced out so it must always be able to detect our DD as she moves all around the cot and is often tucked up in a corner. We have two sensor pads though, not sure if you can get them with only one pad.

We both love it and wouldn't go without it now. I plan on taking it out of DD's room when we have our next baby if all goes to plan, so when DD is roughly 2.5 years. I may consider ditching it when she's 2 though as that's well and truly when SIDS is pretty much no longer a risk.

Ours is two sensor pads too but the cable that connects them is only about 5cms long, so they don't go very far apart.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

DD still has hers and we will be buying another for bubs, but only because she has lung issues and is on meds for her breathing, so it is security for us when she is ill, and her Paeds said it won't be until she is three before she should her lungs grow wnough for it to be less of an issue, but we haven't had any false alarms with ours.
