Monitors for Baby - Which One is Best?

Always Know What Baby is Doing - Buy a Baby Monitor
Baby monitors are now available for both video and audio transmissions. Many of today’s best manufacturers have created unbeatable sound and picture so that you can see and hear your baby while you are in a different room. Among the many brands we found were Safety First, Summer Infant, BebeSounds, Phillips and Fisher Price. Newer digital models provide the best quality, but can be costly. Also, be sure that you test the monitor before baby arrives. Many may cause interference on other digital products in your home.
Here are a few thoughts from ConsumerReports. org. and a selection of monitors we found…
Consider your home and lifestyle. You may appreciate a monitor with both sound and lights, so you can “see” your baby’s cries. The louder he cries, the more lights light up. If you’ll be taking business calls during naptime, for example, it can be helpful to turn the sound down low and rely on the lights. A video monitor can serve the same purpose, though we believe an audio monitor with lights can suffice. Similarly, if you live in a large house, you may want a monitor with two receivers rather than just one. In general, look for monitors with features that make it easy to move about, such as a compact parent unit that clips onto your belt. Try it on before buying, if possible; antennas have been known to poke the wearer.
