BT Baby Monitor Plus is the ideal monitor for all stages

Advantages: Nightlights, music, talk option, varied volume, clear sound
Disadvantages: Long initial charge time, loud unlinked alarm can not be turned off or down

...We purchased this digital monitor after originally buying a radio set and the difference in quality was obvious. Although my sister had used these I had not bought them at first due to the cost (just under £70 when purchased) but realised at once that we had actually wasted the money spent on the cheaper monitors and should have bought these outright. The only issue we had with these occurs right at the beginning. You have to charge the parent unit for a very long time (16 hours if I remember correctly) and during this time it is not linked to the baby unit. Whilst unlinked the parent unit bleeps to warn you that it is not receiving from the baby unit and this warning is so loud that we could hear it even from the garage. Sadly ours only got about 11 hours as it was too loud and was causing problems when it came to our son's bed time...

Review of BT Digital Baby Monitor Plus

Bt digital baby monitor plus

Advantages: Lullaby's, Intercom
Disadvantages: Battery life is not very good, night light feature also a little poor

...I brought the BT Digital Baby Monitor Plus about two years ago from Argos priced £69.79. I have had other baby monitors in the past but this design is by far the best as it has many useful functions. It is quite pricey but you will not be disappointed once you have it, mine is on all day everyday. The monitor comes as two separate unit?s the larger one is for the nursery ideally near the cot and the parent handset which I keep down stairs. Both are connected to the mains and the parent handset has re-chargeable batteries (2x AA supplied). The parent handset has a 50 metres indoor range and 300m range for when you are on the move around the house it comes complete with a belt clip to fasten it safely to your waist band. The area of range was essential for me when my little one was newborn. It meant I could keep an ear on him while I...

Review of BT Digital Baby Monitor Plus 120-channel

BT Digital Baby Monitor Plus - delighted!

Advantages: Intercom feature, temperature indicator, crystal clear sound, sensitive, good looks, light indicator, adjustable volume
Disadvantages: some unnecessary features e.g. nightlight

...As a BT digital phone owner, it struck me that the same technology could be used in a baby monitor, and lo and behold those clever people at BT have gone and done it. While looking into Baby Monitors it seemed to me that you can have a basic (non-digital) model for around £20, or you can go over £100 for the video option, but as someone who wanted an 'in-between' option I plumped for the BT Digital Baby Monitor Plus which retails for around £70. What I absolutely wanted from my monitor was crystal clear sound, and a temperature indicator on the parent unit. This is exactly what I got and more. To be honest I don't bother with the nightlight or the range of lullabies, but the other feature I find useful is the light indicators - useful for when I've got my hairdryer on for example! When the indicator flashes into the red then you...

Review of BT Digital Baby Monitor Plus

BT Digital Baby Monitor Plus

Advantages: Talk back feature, No interference, very clear sound,
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I already had a tomy baby monitor from my first child but it was a few years between children. This meant that technology had moved forward a bit and newer monitors had much better features. The main reason that we went for the bt digital baby monitor plus was because it is a true digital monitor, unlike the tomy monitor which claimed to be digital however only had 2 channels. This meant that if somebody had the same monitor in the area then it would pick up on their noises. You do not get any interference what so ever with the bt digital monitor plus. Make sure that if purchasing a digital monitor, that it is true digital and has more than 2 channels. The sound quality is excellent, on occations we have heard our baby breathing when on the highest sensitivity, which is adjustable from your handset. The next great feature is that...

Review of BT VP1000 Home Monitor

bt digital baby monitor plus a great product

Advantages: gives you great peace of mind when you cant see baby but can easily hear them
Disadvantages: in my opinion there isnt one

...when my baby was first born i brought some very expensive monitors and to be honest they were terrible had to have the monitor so close to my baby to hear anything but when i brought these monitors a few weeks ago and i really loved them they give me great peace of mind and they are very sensitive to sound. the baby monitor has many functions temperature, sound adjustment, sensitivity adjustment lulaby's and a night light all of which can be controlled from the parent handset so if your baby cries just press the button and allow one of 3 lullabies to sooth them back to sleep as i write this review my baby is in bed and i can sit here and relax with total peace of mind because i can even hear him breathing would reccommend these monitors to anyone...

Review of BT VP1000 Home Monitor

BT 150: good sound quality but not great battery life. UPDATED.

Advantages: Works well, can be personalised a bit. Intuitive interface.
Disadvantages: Poor battery life after a few months, combined with annoying low battery alarm!

...We bought this baby monitor when we moved our son into his own room at about 7 months old. We picked this particular model because: - We trusted the BT brand name - The digital (DECT) sound quality was supposed to be good - It had a couple of extra features we liked - It was quite compact - It wasn't too hideously expensive - The mains chargers work for both the parent and baby units (so less faffing around with plugs) - You can link an MP3 player to the baby unit and play music to them (ps we have NEVER used this function though we did think it was cool!) This is a very long-term review, as we have been using the monitor for 18 months now! Hopefully that'll make the review useful! **Set up** This is very easy - just plug in the baby and the parent units, turn on both and the parent unit will find the baby one, with the light...

Review of BT 150 Digital Baby Monitor

A Quality Monitor

Advantages: Many functions, clear sound, no interference, talk back
Disadvantages: Temp sensor maybe a bit sensitive

...We recently borrowed this monitor from a friend - it's on our wish list but we can't really afford to buy one, so we are trialling this one at the moment. Due to us borrowing it, we were never given an instruction manual, but have still managed to figure out most of the functions with success! And compared to our Tomy Walkabout, this is a fantastic monitor, even if it is a little pricey (£69.99 I think) The Baby Unit: This unit has 9 buttons across the top: -On/Off Switch -Rec button (which I think is to record your voice but we haven't used this function) -Page (to page the parent unit I presume if you've lost it somewhere) -A button with three circles on - I think this is to increase or decrease the brightness of the nightlight -Nightlight -Volume up -Volume down -Play/Stop (the lullabies) -Music (to select...

Review of BT 150 Digital Baby Monitor

My favourite Baby Monitor

Advantages: Charger Cradle, Digital, good range, long lasting, dead simple to use, clear sound
Disadvantages: none for me

...When our boy was on his way, daddy had all the fun to look into gadgets for the new era in our life. Now having had an experience with the widely used and available Tomy Baby Monitors I was absolutely sure that I do not want one of those as when being with friends who are using one of these I felt Darth Vader nearby because of all the interference radio noises. After having done some sufficient research I settled with this beautiful machine from BT. It is the simplest one available (there is newer and better ones) and easy to order for around 45 quid from Amazon. I myself bought it for 20 quid used on Ebay and it has now already the fourth child on it. There is not much to discuss about baby monitors as they are supposed to fulfil a very specific task. If you need a camera and/or temperature sensor or any other, for my own use...
