Since most people have their smartphones at all times, this is a smart move from MINI. The small compact device is round in shape and can be placed right beside a baby. Parents can use the monitor in many ways, including listening in directly to what is happening, or just receiving alerts when the baby makes a noise. Through the accompanying app, parents have the chance to record how long each nap is.

The MINI Avent Baby Monitor is another example of the increasing reliance people have on their smartphones, and in this case, takes advantage of its technological capabilities.
