Advantages: peace of mind
Disadvantages: none

...Baby Walkabout Advance from Tomy Living in a flat I felt I did not really need the most high tech and expensive of monitors and just needed one that really did the job. I was looking at all the ones available to buy on Amazon and this one sprang out at me. It was not the cheapest monitor going but it certainly was not the most expensive either. Monitors range from about £15 up to an astonishing £100 plus. The latest ones out on the market offer a television screen where you are actually able to see your baby as well as hear their sounds and monitor room temperature. I feel however the television screen is a little bit much and think I would find myself glued to the screen while all the time away from the baby. This particular baby monitor set me back only £29. I think this is a fair price for what you are getting... Read review

Advantages: It looks nice
Disadvantages: Can't hear baby, lights don't change when baby makes noises

...We all read and hear about cot death nearly everywhere we go - it is in the papers, on billboards, everywhere... So as a new mother and reading and hearing about these sort of things, it is quite natural to want to have a bit of constant security in knowing that your baby is sleeping safe and sound in his or her cot. Therefore I bought the Fisher-Price Sounds & Lights Monitor at Babies 'R US. At the time I thought that it was a good deal at £25.00 because it claimed to do everything that I expected a good monitor to do. The Fisher-Price Sounds and Lights monitor claims to have a variable light display that lets you see the sounds the baby makes. There are 5 lights displayed on the parent's monitor which are meant to allow you to see the baby's level of activity, but, after 4 months, I am still waiting to see how this actually... Read review

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... Read review

Advantages: Excellent sound quality
Disadvantages: expensive, not all features are really necessary

...I bought my first baby monitor when I was pregnant, I searched around online and looked at different monitors. One piece of advice I was given was to get one which shows the temperature in babys room. I found the Maws Reassurance 8, this one had a thermometer and I assumed MAWS was a reliable name and so I expected the monitor to be a good one. As soon as I got the monitor I tested it out. I immediately noticed it made a constant clicking noise when it was. I assumed this was a fault and tried to call MAWS customer service to see if they had any suggestions. Don't bother even trying! No one ever answered. So I emailed the seller and she told me it had always made that sound, she had just come over it by not having the volume very high - to me this defeats the object of having a monitor. I asked around other mums and quite a few... Read review

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... Read review

Advantages: Able to see Your baby even if he cries you can see he is OK
Disadvantages: Limited reception distance

...I bought this monitor before my son was born he is now 2. It has been brilliant. My son sleeps from 7.30pm to 7.30am and I put that down to the monitor. Because with this monitor you can see your baby it made me feel much more content knowing he was OK. It stopped me from going in his room and checking on him and ultimately disturbing him. It also meant as he got older and was sleeping through the night when he did wake up in the night I wouldn't rush in. I would watch him on the monitor to see if he was ok and see whether he could settle himself back down 9 times out of 10 he did. I had the monitor next to the bed at night and could easily see him then even though he was in his own room. So What about the Product Itself? It comes in two parts the camera section and the viewer with the small video screen. Both the camera... Read review

...The Angel Care Movement and Sound monitor, Is brilliant, My mum-in-law, got it for us when i had my first child nearly 6 years ago, i also used it for my son who's now 4.

Advantages: THE DESIGN ATTRACTIVE WITH BRIGHT SCREEN DISPLAY.
Disadvantages: NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE PRODUCT

...Well as things may be, this is my first time of using a lilliput monitor and I have seen that it is of the high quality type. The LCD monitor is capable of projecting high quality pictures and with bright colour display. The lillliput are the professional manufacturers of most TFT LCD monitors. Now lets come down to the monitor's capabilities and features. The monitor also comes with a touch screen technology and with a touch pen included, that is quite marvelous and interesting to use and on the other hand comes with a remote control wireless and with built in audio, which produces high quality and likable sound. The monitor also has English on screen display menu and with programmable auto on features. Well I got this some couple of moths ago and have not gotten any problem with it so far. Quite durable and very easy... Read review

Advantages: Peace of mind, reliability
Disadvantages: Sometime picks up interference

...Before our baby was born I spent AGES researching the various monitors on the market because I was quite paranoid about something bad happening to him, since his daddy stopped breathing when he was a baby. Eventually I settled upon the Angelcare monitor, and have never regretted it for a second! This monitor has been absolutely brilliant - it not only allows you to hear what's going on in the little one's room, but also includes a movement sensor that picks up breathing and alerts you if there is no movement for a set period of time. We debated for quite a while after hearing that it was prone to false alarms, but in 13 months of use we've only had one...and to be honest, the peace of mind that this has brought us was well worth that one fright!! The parental unit is definitely not the most portable on the market - it is quite... Read review
