Does anyone use this with a dual-sided mattress (our mattress has an infant side & toddler side) & do you find that sensor sill works properly?

Yes. I have the same mattress. Buy a wood board to put underneath from home depot... Its a reallly thin piece of wood or use something similar. And get the dual bc the single one has way too many false alarms. Love it and worth the investment

I have a mattress on a sheet of plywood and it works fine for me. HOWEVER, the strap won't connect to the platform unless you finagle a hook of some kind. I made one from an old clothes hanger, but wound up not using it because the weight of the mattress keeps it in place for me. I am elderly and use the Rail to both keep me from rolling off the bed and to help me rise. The Rail itself sits firmly in place unless you deliberately pull it out (which a child might do).

I've found that clipping it to the back of their pants or diaper so that it is touching their back still allows it to detect their breathing. Plus the alarm isn't muffled by being trapped between their tummy and the mattress. Both of my kids started sleeping on their stomachs the day they learned to roll over, so I moved the alarm and it still worked exactly as needed.

I have one of these for my daughters twin bed and it works great. It does fit a twin bed. The only thing to worry about is the thickness of the mattress. But other than that it has definitely saved my daughter from falling. I find her right up against it.

We used it with the SwaddleMe blankets and it was fine. In fact it kept the monitor in place better. Once he wasn't swaddled any more, the monitor fell off his diaper and had false alarms more and more, until we eventually gave up using it.

We have this between two XL twin mattresses, we also have a strap that hooks the two mattresses together. I then have a fairly thick mattress pad over top of this, it really is a cheap piece of foam, but so far has worked really well. We've had it for about 3 months now.

I ordered a Queen and it has dual controls. I ordered this brand specifically for that reason. I really only use one side cause it heats so well and I like to lay in the middle of my bed to have a half warm and half cool side. I'm cold one minute and hot the next! haha I'm not sure about the full size pads? I didn't look into that.

Yes, I've been using it with my daughter and I just had her. And my son started using his at 7 months. But both my children have this mattress and I love it.

This should be the solution for you. My mattress pad was too small for the mattress and it would slip and shift the mattress pad and fitted sheet every single night. Since I put these straps on, it hasn't shifted once!! I tried multiple other brands before this and I'm pleased to have found the perfect solution.

It won't work properly if the surface baby is on isn't motionless (ie in car or bouncer). I'm a bit appalled by all the parents that say they are relying upon it in these places. Monitor works via a motion sensor!

We put ours on both sides of our twin bed for a while, but just under the fitted sheet and it worked/fit well. The bed is now pretty snug against the wall so no need for the second set anymore. Not sure about under the mattress pad (we have one but have always used these under just the sheets).

unfortunately I'm unable to answer the question. I ended up throwing it in the trash and bought a different one from Costco. The mattress pad you are referring to slipped and would not stay in place. I ended up buying a mattress pad with elastic sides that hold in place.

The kit comes with 1 sensor. You can rinse, dry, and reuse the same sensor, but if it's not completely dry it will set the alarm off when it's plugged in. (I bought a spare, but haven't used it because I found that my child only typically goes once at night. If that is not the case for your child it would probably be easiest just to have 2 sensors as in the middle of the night you might not feel like dealing with the "cleaning/drying" of the used sensor.). Hope that helps. Good luck!

I saw the negative reviews as well before we purchased, but our Pediatrician (w/o making a brand recommendation) highly suggested we go with a mattress on the firmer side. Our four month old at the time took to it immediately and is still sleeping soundly on it today. We have rotated the mattress, because it has given in slightly over the time. I hope this helps!

We just used a damp cloth and a dry one. Also we placed the sensor on the outside of the underwear down in that area near where the underwear has a seam (close to where she would be peeing). Seemed to work really well for us.

Hi there - I'm curious if you ever found an organic mattress pad that fit fits the uppa baby? Thanks!

We bought the mattress pad for our guest futon which was only in use over Xmas. As I recall the connector was near the top edge of the mattress but not intruding on the top surface. Hope this is of use. P.S. the guests didn't complain!
