I have the angelcare aswell (with 2 pads) used it with DD as a monitor without the motion sensor & using it for DS WITH the motion sensor. Its one item I'm so happy I have! Both my children have slept long hours through the night & with DD I would wake on my own to check if she was still breathing through the night because I hadn't heard from her.
It took me a little while to get used to turning it off before I get DS out of the cot but now its just habit

I highly recommend it hun. It keeps my mind at ease every night
