The Cariboo Gentle Motions™ Bassinet is as innovative as it is stylish. This bassinet hangs from a folding stand which allows parents to easily rock babies back to sleep. The Gentle Motions™ bassinet also rocks gently according to baby’s own movement. The straps can be adjusted so colicky babies can sleep with their heads elevated. For parents transitioning their baby out of the bassinet into a crib, the bassinet can be removed from the folding stand and attached to the rails of a crib for an easier move into the nursery.

Are you looking for peace of mind? Parents of preemies and infants at increased risk of SIDS lose a lot of sleep wondering if their babies are still breathing. Even parents of healthy babies experience this kind of anxiety. With its movement sensor pad, sound transmitter, sound lights, and movement detecting “ticking” sound, The Angelcare Movement Sensor with Sound Monitor can take away virtually all this anxiety.The Angelcare Movement Sensor has three modes of use, enabling parents to use the sensor/sound monitor well into toddlerhood and beyond, if desired. With the Sound & Movement function, you can hear your baby’s sounds, see sound lights, and hear a “tic” sound with every movement the baby makes. If no movement is detected, the “tic” will stop and after 20 seconds the alarm will sound. In the Tic Off mode you will not hear the ticking sound with every movement. However, you will still hear the baby’s sounds and see sound lights, and your baby’s movement is still being detected. An alarm will still sound if absolutely no movement is detected for 20 seconds. And finally, with Sound Only, the movement sensor is disabled, but you will still be able to hear your baby’s sounds and see sound lights. In this mode, the Angelcare functions as a regular sound monitor. For many parents, just being able to hear the sighs and squeaks of the newest member of the family is reassurance enough. For those who need more input, for whatever reason, the additional sensory features of the Angelcare can be lifesaving.
