Should I buy this?
Consider if sleep insights and phone-based monitoring matter; keep a non-Wi-Fi travel or outage backup and price the post-trial subscription.
Who should skip
You need managed-Wi-Fi reliability, a dedicated parent unit, or no recurring fee.
Recurring positives
No positive theme met the independent corroboration threshold.
Recurring negatives
No negative theme met the independent corroboration threshold.
Unresolved contradictions

My wife put the Nanit on our registry and it was purchased for us, so I shelled out 0 actual dollars, and shouldn't complain. However, I'm not sure I get what the hype is about.

Open direct Reddit source E001 ↗Just make sure you buy a cheap ‘dumb’ baby monitor for travelling if you ever plan on staying in a hotel in the next few years. It’s a nightmare getting it to work on a managed wifi network.

Open direct Reddit source E002 ↗We have the Nanit and love it. I will say the one con is that you have to pay for the insights feature after the first year.
