Need help finding a great baby monitor?

Question

Can anyone reccommend any good monitors? Alot of my friends are registering for the Summer Infant Video Monitor from Babies R Us, but I've seen that they got horrible reviews. Any help?

Answer 1

That happens to be the monitor I have and I absolutely love it. I can see my baby when she sleeps. It has saved me many trips to her room worrying if something was wrong. She is now 13 months old. The best part is, I just had a second baby 3 weeks ago and when I put her in her crib I wont have to buy another monitor. Just another video that will hook up to the second channel on the actual monitor so all I have to do is switch channels to see my girls sleeping. That's the one I would have recommended for you.  

Answer 2

I have an Anglecare movement and sound monitor.  It has an alarm that goes off if it doesn't detect any movement for more than 20 seconds.

Answer 3

Reported Kitty.

I don't have a video monitor so I can't help with that.  I can tell you that when my youngest was a baby we went through 3 different monitors (they all just stopped working).  For our last attempt, we decided to buy a really cheap one.  It's a Safety 1st brand, very plain, but it picks up EVERYthing.  We are now using it again for our 6 month old and still love it.  I honestly believe that expensive doesn't mean better when it comes to baby monitors!

Answer 4

i got one and used it like, 5 times. trust me, you will hear your baby cry, unless the baby's room is on a different floor of your house. if you want one for peace of mind, buy a cheap one ($20-$30), put batteries in it, but keep the box...if you don't use it or don't like it, return it and get your money back or get what you want

Answer 5

I'd definately get a video moniter. They didn't have them for my 6 year old, 11 year old and 13 year old, but they did when my 1 1/2 year old and newborn twins were born.

And I used Summer Infant Video Moniter and it worked really well.

Plus, I can't find any other kind.

That's the one I have, but you can get the single one too.

Unless you don't want a video monitor then here is a link  for a  non-video moniter:

Good luck!
