Give a Parent the Gift of Peaceful Sleep: My Favorite Wi-Fi Baby Monitor Is a Black Friday Deal
Sleep hygiene, for me, has been the biggest challenge of parenthood. Adequate sleep is critical for my children’s development. But as parents, we also want them to sleep so we can sleep too. Any technology that can help give me this peace of mind is my best friend.Â
Many retailers start “Black Friday” sales as early as Halloween, or even earlier. The quality of deals can vary early on, but as November progresses, many of the deals are as good as the deep discounts you’ll see during Thanksgiving weekend. See the best Black Friday deals we’ve found, and keep up with all the latest deals with our full Black Friday live blog coverage.
That’s why I love my Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor — and it’s on sale right now ahead of Black Friday.
When we were shopping for baby monitors, we read lots of new-parent blogs and best lists. At the time, many parents agreed the Nanit Pro Smart Baby Monitor was the best pick for its high-tech capabilities, superior sound and screen quality, and easy setup. CNET named the Nanit Pro the best overall Wi-Fi baby monitor as well.Â
The Nanit Pro’s regular list price is $329 on Amazon. Right now it’s going for $279 in blue or for $299 in black, silver or white. For me, the Nanit Pro is a great value, despite its high price.
One of the biggest draws of the Nanit Pro is the ability to put two cameras on one screen. We knew we eventually wanted a second child, which would mean two cameras in two different rooms. I didn’t want to lug around separate devices for each camera. Many of the well-rated Wi-Fi-enabled baby monitors don’t have the standout feature of the Nanit Pro — its split screen lets you monitor two cameras in two different rooms on any device that has Wi-Fi.
Using the split screen feature, the Nanit Pro app on my Lenovo tablet shows my two boys in their separate beds.
In addition to the split screen, the Nanit Pro has several cool tech features, and a subscription upgrade that includes tracking and video saving capabilities. My favorite features are white noise, two-way audio, temperature alerts and the ability to tune in from anywhere.
We opted for Nanit Pro’s multi-stand and travel case for travel and overnights at grandma’s house. The multi-stand and travel case combo go for $79 right now on Amazon and make a great companion gift.Â
The Nanit Pro is the most used tech product in my home. It will make a great holiday or baby shower gift for the sleep-deprived and tech-savvy parent.Â
