Parvel GO Baby Monitor | Review + Giveaway | AD {CLOSED}

I remember the very first baby item we bought when we were expecting Indiana, was a baby monitor. It was incredibly basic but did it's job perfectly. Technology has changed a lot since she was born though - and she's only 5!

We were recently sent a Parvel Go Baby Monitor to use with our youngest, Lilah. The monitor is unlike any other we've used before. It is completely unique; using advanced motion sensors to monitor your baby's sleep, the connected app will then alert you when your baby is awake (or even when he/she is about to wake up).

The Parvel GO device is of Scandinavian design, making it small and sleek. You simply pop it next to your baby while they are sleeping (we've popped ours under the cot sheet to keep it safely away from Lilah's hands), and connect it to the app on your phone via Bluetooth. No wires or lots of different monitors to keep charged. Just one unit - and Parvel doesn't even need charging either as it runs on a single, replaceable battery that lasts up to 2 years!

Although the baby monitor doesn't offer video, the app gives you plenty of useful information regarding your baby's sleep. It monitors the temperature (in real-time) and can give alerts if the temperature rises or drops significantly. It monitors your baby's movements, so you can receive alerts when your baby is waking up. And over time the smart software will even be able to interpret the type of motions registered and identify them - only alerting you to genuine 'I'm awake' movements. The app also features a built-in timer, to help you keep track of how long your baby has slept for!

There are a number of features of the Parvel GO that I absolutely love. Firstly, it is incredibly easy to set up and use. Once you have connected the device to the app, you just need to make sure your Bluetooth is on to connect it the next time. The small size of the Parvel means it's also perfect to use out and about, or when travelling. It could easily be used in a pushchair, or thrown into your suitcase for a holiday.

I do not think the Parvel will be for everyone though, as I know some people may not like the idea of needing an app to use the monitor. I like to close everything on my phone each night to preserve the battery, so have mistakenly closed the app on a number of occasions myself too.

That being said though, the technology used by Parvel emits extremely low levels of electro magnetic radiation - dramatically lower than other baby monitors on the market! This ensures it is perfectly safe to use, and won't expose your baby to any unnecessary radiation.

We have really enjoyed using the Parvel Go baby monitor, and I think it's a great device to use - especially if you have an older baby. I am excited to be offering my readers the chance to win a Parvel GO of their own, all you have to do is enter via the Rafflecopter widget below!
