How we choose

We pick well-known products that UK shops currently list, across budget, mid-range and premium. Every spec comes from the manufacturer's own page or the Amazon.co.uk listing, and we link the source on each row. Anything we couldn't confirm says Not listed rather than a guess. We follow official safety standards where they apply, but we don't test products hands-on, so this is a shortlist to start from, not a verdict.

Monitors don't replace safe-sleep practice. See The Lullaby Trust for UK guidance.
