Everything snowchickie said.

I don't understand the argument that if you have an alarm going off that you'll ignore it.. hello?? its LOUD!!!! lol

FWIW - We have a babysense breathing monitor and its gone off once in the 2 years we have had it. There was nothing wrong with DS, he had rolled off the sensor pad - so we put both pads in - easily fixed. It hasn't gone off again.
