Snuza for twins

Dear members - I had a question. For twins that will co sleep (perhaps at different ends of the cot), I'm wondering if Snuza (I'm thinking Snuza Go rather than Hero), when placed on one twin, really picks up the other twin's movements. Some websites recommend Snuza for co-sleeping twins specifically, as pads under mattresses won't work. Snuza specifically advises against it. There is another monitor called Respisense that apparently is more suitable, but - gosh - the reviews aren't great, it doesn't seem to be a good quality product. From research, I know that some people used two Snuzas for co-sleeping twins, and I wonder if any of you could share your views. (It is probably a difficult question whether it indeed picks up movement from another baby, I wonder how to test it - put a Snuza on a doll at one end of the bed and see if it is activated if you have a baby at the other end of the bed, or next to the doll?) Thank you!

Sorryvaster I don’t have any experience with twins. You may get a few more replies if you try the Multiples section Smile

I co-sleep with a snuza baby (hero) and it doesn't pick up my movements. I can shake the bed quite hard and it still just ticks rhythmically with his breaths (although when I'm holding it it's sensitive enough to pick up me blowing on it from about 5 inches away).

I think they don't recommend it for twins because theoretically it could pick up the other's movements and they don't want to be sued if the worst were to happen. I have every faith in my snuza though.

Thank you. I have one now (I decide to go for Snuza Go) and I experimented with it a bit and it didn’t really pick up external movements
