★ marks the stronger of the two. Scores are out of 10.
A certified medical device that does one job well, for about a third of the price of a smart sock.
Best for Parents who room-share and want a simple, medically certified breathing movement alarm with no app, no Wi-Fi and nothing to charge.
An app-connected clip-on that its own maker says doesn't monitor breathing. The Hero MD is the better buy.
Best for Parents of older babies and toddlers who want movement, position and temperature information from a clip-on, and understand it isn't a medical device.
