- The three deciding factors in choosing CuboAi were the clarity of the nighttime image, the recording function, and the cute little bird design.
- The function that can be used as a "nursing light" or "lullaby" is very convenient. The recording function has also increased family communication.
- What we gained from the introduction of CuboAi was a "sense of security. I feel as if there are more members watching over my childcare.
Temporary childcare" is a service that allows you to take care of your child for a day or a few hours when you have to work suddenly, when you are sick, or to refresh yourself for the first time in a while. At first glance, this system may seem convenient for busy mothers and fathers, but many of them may not be able to take advantage of it even if they want to, because it often takes time to prepare in advance, including finding a daycare center that offers temporary childcare, filling out paperwork, and interviewing the parents.
The BabyTech®️ Awards introduces and honors items that support childcare in different categories, and did you know that there is a service that is highly rated as the 2021 Excellence Award winner and the 2022 Grand Prize winner? Ltd., headquartered in Taiwan, offers a smart baby monitor called "CuboAi Plus" and related items. After extensive user testing and the introduction of the latest technology, what do those who have actually purchased CuboAi find attractive about it? For this interview, we asked Misa, who has been using CuboAi for more than a year, about the product's appeal, how to make convenient use of it, and what features she would like to see in the future.
(We spoke to...)
Dear Misa
Mom of a 1 year and 5 month old child. Lives in Shizuoka. Currently raising her child temporarily at her parents' home in Saitama.
High-sensitivity night vision," "recording," and "cuteness" were the deciding factors in his purchase!
Editorial:Thank you very much for your time today. Before we talk about CuboAi, could you tell us where you live and how old your children are?
Misa:I live at home in Saitama with my father and younger brother. We also have a house in Shizuoka, but due to my husband's work, we are here temporarily. My child is 1 year and 5 months old, and we have a Japanese-style room on the first floor as our bedroom, and CuboAi is set up there.
Editorial:Thank you, Misa, please tell us how you came to purchase CuboAi. Were you always interested in a baby monitor?
Misa:As this was my first child, I was concerned about her tossing and turning and choking on drooling, so I had planned to purchase a baby monitor before she was born. At first, I had no idea which one would be best for me, but after doing some research, I found CuboAi and decided to purchase it.
Editorial:What methods did you use to compare and review?
Misa:It's an Instagram hashtag search. I referred to the Internet, but many of the articles were written by writers who were asked to do so, so I settled on Instagram because I wanted to get real feedback from moms raising children who actually used the products.
Editorial:Can you tell us why you finally decided on CuboAi?
Misa:There was less information than other monitors, and I had some doubts, but the deciding factor was the clarity of the night monitor image. I was also attracted by the cute appearance and the recording function.
Editorial:Are other monitors vulnerable to some aspects of night photography?
Misa:As far as I could tell, most of the images were clear during the day, but at night the images were blurry. In fact, after purchasing the CuboAi, I was again surprised at how beautiful the images are!
Itchy to reach! All the functions you need in one service
Editorial:Please let us know if there are any other points that surprised you or appealed to you when you actually used the system.
Misa:There are many points that surprised me. If I had to sum up the appeal in one word, it would be, "It's packed with features that moms raising kids want!" That's right.
As soon as I started using it, I found the "night light function" to be very useful. I had originally heard that a light for breastfeeding would be useful, and was thinking about purchasing one, but then I thought, "CuboAi has it! I thought, "CuboAi has it!
Editorial:So a lactation light is an important thing.
Misa:As for the light during feeding, I thought that a miniature light bulb would not be good for the child's sleep because the light would shine directly on the baby. That said, I brought in a small light and it was too dark or I couldn't see what I was doing... CuboAi gives a soft light toward the ceiling, so it doesn't burden the baby, and it also helps me to work in the bright light.
Editorial:That would certainly be useful! Please let me know if there are others.
Misa:CuboAi has a playlist of lullabies and white noise, and I was surprised at how beautiful the sound from the speakers was. I was surprised at how beautiful the sound from the speakers was. I was surprised at the beautiful sound from the speakers.
The nursing light, which I mentioned earlier, was useful for timing the nursing period, and the playlist was useful during periods of heavy nighttime crying and gagging. Now that my baby is moving around a lot, what I find useful is the "record and playback function for the past 18 hours". This is a feature that allows me to go back and record footage while my child is sleeping. This has been useful for checking to see if my child is awake in the middle of the night, or for sharing funny videos of my child getting over me in the morning when I am asleep with family members who live far away.
Editorial:So you have a variety of convenient functions to keep up with the growth of your children! The recording function also helps you communicate better with your family members.
Misa:Yes, it is. It's kind of like having "one photographer watching over you". When I attended my friend's wedding, I used CuboAi to share information with my parents while they took care of my child, and they told me, "It's easier to sleep facing this way! It's easier to sleep facing this way! When I was at a friend's wedding, my parents would look at the information on CuboAi while I took care of the children, and they would say things like, "It's easier to sleep facing this way!
Editorial:So it can be used in such a way!
Misa:What surprised me at the time was the integration with the Apple Watch. Since I was in the middle of the ceremony, I couldn't look at my phone as often as I would have liked, but the Apple Watch would send me a message or photo that "●●chan is back in bed," so I could enjoy the outing with great peace of mind.
The little bird watching over the family provides a "sense of security.
Editorial:It is wonderful to be able to feel a sense of "peace of mind" at many times in raising children, who have many things to worry about.
Misa:Yes, CuboAi's "alert function" has really given me a lot of peace of mind. It watches over my child and alerts me if there is even a little bit of drool covering his face, so I can leave him in good hands. It has allowed me to make time for myself. I try to keep a diary at night, but I had not been able to write in it at all before, but now that I have CuboAi, I am able to do a thorough daily review. The "piyo-piyo!" alert sound is also very cute. alert sound is also cute and I like it.
Editorial:Certainly, I like the design of the camera, which looks a bit like an ornament rather than a camera.
Misa:I think some baby monitors are designed to "monitor" children, while CuboAi is more like a "gentle watch over".
Editorial:How did you feel about the CuboAi installation?
Misa:At first I wondered, "How do I set this up?" since CuboAi only had one button. At first, I wondered how to set it up. I was surprised at how easy it was: a QR code appears on the screen of the smartphone, and all you have to do is read the code into the little bird's camera.

Technology and CuboAi's potential to compensate for parts of the world that don't need to be human.
Editorial:So far, we have asked you about the appeal of CuboAi, but do you have any points that you think are regrettable? Do you have any points that you would like to add?
Misa:I am happy with the current features, but it would be great to have the ability to turn on lights and playlists on my apple watch. It would be convenient to be able to shorten the process of turning on my phone and opening apps from there, which is partly because I am not very fond of looking at my phone.
We also believe that the appeal of the CuboAi will spread to even more people if more information is sent out via the Instagram story function, or if more information other than the camera is sent out, such as "the night light is so convenient as a nursing light," or "the playlist's sound is so clear. We believe that the appeal of CuboAi will spread to even more people.

CuboAi Smart Baby Monitor
Editorial:I see! Yes, that is true.
Misa:I also feel that CuboAi is useful in the field of nursing care. I am a nurse, and there are times when a patient on a ventilator or in a nursing home cannot call a nurse when he or she coughs or turns over. I thought that CuboAi could protect the safety and health of more people in such situations.
Editorial:Yes, it looks like a possibility! Oh, by the way, for CuboAi,Ultimate Service(*), and I would appreciate Misa's feedback on that as well.
(*) For 980 yen/month, the service offers new access to daytime sleep reports, daily sleep summaries, extensive playlists by a music therapist, 90-day storage of growth albums, and unlimited sleep recordings.
Misa:I consider this a good service for families whose babies tend to wake up during the night and they want to improve their daytime sleep as well, or for those who find it difficult to keep their own records. I am the type of person who keeps detailed records, so I am fine with it.
Editorial:Thank you very much. Finally, can you tell us what you find useful and what you value about using technology such as CuboAi for childcare?
Misa:Yes, I agree. I think the idea is that we should utilize technology for areas that can be replaced without people. I think it is wonderful that technology can reduce the burden of childcare, improve safety, and increase communication among family members. There are things that can be done only with technology. And if we can use the extra time and energy we have to love and care for our children, I think we will be able to raise our children in a happier way.
Editorial:By utilizing technology such as CuboAi, I think we can create a cycle of good child-rearing. Thank you very much for your time today!
After the interview
I felt that the reason for CuboAi's popularity and the major difference from other similar products is that it is a product designed to achieve the goal of "gently watching over and supporting the family. I believe that it is because CuboAi was designed with the family's smiling face and peace of mind in mind, rather than simply showing images of the baby, that it has been able to gain the support of so many people around the world. I also thought that these items are close to the various nationalities, lifestyles, and working styles of families, as Misa told us. The attractive point is that there are not only convenient functions such as night lights and lullabies, but also variations in installation methods, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your home. Perhaps one of the charms of CuboAi is that there is such a "margin" in the way it can be used.
