Nanit is launching its third generation smart baby monitor, the Nanit Pro, as well as new bedding that allows the camera to track your baby’s height. The biggest change from the previous versions is a new slimmer design and a better 1080p camera, compared to the 960p on the previous model. More importantly, the company’s breathing belt, which was previously sold separately (although often thrown in as a freebie), is now included as standard. If you are not familiar, the band is covered in a cloth with dots, allowing the camera to track your baby’s breathing.
The new Smart Sheet, meanwhile, is a fitted sheet for a standard 27.5 x 52 inch mattress with a custom designed pattern in the corners. This design allows the camera to better measure your child’s growth over time. Put them in bed, take a picture, and use the system’s tracking and body mapping overlay to measure their height. The 100 percent cotton sheets retail for $ 35 and work with all three versions of Nanit over-bed cameras.
In terms of availability, the new Nanit Pro is available for pre-order today through the Nanit website and will be available from retailers like Amazon, Best Buy and Target starting Feb. 21. You can buy the wall mount version with included breathing strap for $ 299, or one with all the trimmings for $ 379. The latter option includes the camera, wall mount, multi-stand (for use on the road and during the day), the breathing strap and a smart sheet .
