About BabiSit
Not protection. Not certainty. Attention, handed to you sooner.
Two small devices for the two times a day a baby is out of sight. Built by a father who was the only adult on duty, and who wanted the answer to the same small question, over and over, without opening a door to get it.
From the founder
For my daughter’s whole life, I have been the only one on duty.
There is no second adult to check with at two in the morning. Nobody who already knows whether that noise is normal, whether the room is too warm, or whether this is the sort of thing you are supposed to worry about. All the things other parents seemed to simply know, I had to work out on my own, usually at the worst hour, usually while holding her.
What I noticed, once I had been doing it a while, is that most of it was not really fear. It was distance. She was in another room and I was awake. She was in the back of the car and I was in the front. Either way I could not see her, and the only way to know anything was to get up and go and look. So I got up and went and looked, all night, for months.
Babi came out of that. Not from a business plan and not from a statistic. From wanting the answer to the same small question, over and over, without opening a door to get it.
So we made two things. One for the car, because a quiet car and an empty one look the same from the front seat. One for the cot, because eleven hours is a long time to guess.
Neither of them protects her. What they do is shorten the gap between something changing and me knowing about it, so I can go and see for myself.
That is the whole product. Not protection, and not certainty. Attention, handed to you sooner than you would have gathered it yourself.

One for the car
A quiet car and an empty one look the same from the front seat.
Rear facing, behind you, asleep. The one place in a day where a child is genuinely out of sight for a sustained stretch, and where the cost of a lapse is measured in minutes.
Babi Seat is a thin cushion that knows the seat is still occupied. Walk out of range and your phone tells you until you are back. Not back within minutes, and the people you chose are told where the car is.
One for the cot
Eleven hours is a long time to guess.
Another room, the longest stretch of the day, and you asleep too. Most of what is sold for it promises to watch your baby, and no device can do that.
Babi Angel does something narrower and truer. It shows you your baby’s temperature, oxygen level and heart rate through the night, and if a reading leaves the range you set, it gets a person to the room.
What they do, and what they don’t
They shorten the gap. They do not close it for you.
What they do
Tell you sooner.
A device notices. Your phone tells you. If you do not answer, someone who loves them is told where to go. The output is always a person, going to look.
What they don’t
Protect, prevent, or promise.
Neither device protects a baby. No monitor of any kind has ever been shown to prevent a sudden infant death, and we will not imply that ours does.
The rules we hold ourselves to
Three things you will never see us do.
01
Claim to prevent anything.
We describe what the device senses and what it sends. Never what it prevents.
02
Frighten you into buying.
No death counts, no worried-parent adverts, no red alert screens. If a fact is not sourced, it is not on the page.
03
Let a story make a claim we can’t.
Reviews are about comfort, fit and ease of use. Never about an outcome.
Two moments. Two products.
The car, or the cot. Start with the one you need.
Or read how they work first. The technology page is where we show our working.
