It may sound silly, but when you start sleep training and wake windows, the Nanit does the lion's share of work through its ability to provide insights about daytime and nighttime sleep. This monitor is reliable and easy to travel with, helping you stay assured that your baby is safe and sound. It also has a built-in sound machine and nightlight.

Since the price tag is nearly $400, we didn't try any other monitors. Some pro tips: we never used the smart sheets or breathing monitors that came with the bundle. Nanit also makes a floor stand and wall mount, so think about what's best for you.

Keep an eye out for sales! They often run promotions to purchase the case and travel stand together.
