Little Bit of Green

In the past, the only baby monitor system available was the wired variety, which connects the transmitters and receivers together. The benefit of such a system is that you can never stray out of range, you always know where the receivers are and you won’t have any chance of interference from household appliances, cordless phones, microwaves, wireless internet or the neighbors’ baby monitors. However, this unit must be installed by a professional (much like a security system) in one, fixed place and there will be no mobility. On the other hand, a wireless baby monitor can be set up by parents in a matter of minutes and allows the parents the option to roam freely around the house, with the receiver worn around the neck or clipped to a belt. Since interference is a possible issue, it’s important that you choose a high-quality product to ensure clarity of sound.

One wireless monitor to consider is the Graco Ultra Clear II. The Graco baby monitor is a budget product that has received positive reviews for its excellent reception and sound quality. Bonus features include a night-light and sound indicator lights, so you can simply see when your baby is crying, rather than be startled by the sudden, shrill shrieks. The system also comes with two parental unit monitors, which is a nice bonus. In consumer baby monitor reviews, many parents give the UltraClear II 5/5 stars. However, like many other monitors, interference can be a problem in busier areas, so you might want to upgrade to the $60 Graco iMonitor system, which offers even better clarity. The only cons listed for this item are that the monitor is too sensitive and that the volume can only be turned off, not kept down low. Prices range from $36.99 at Amazon to $44.95 at Ebay. Target and Walmart also carry this product if you need it right away.

On the high-end, Philips baby monitors like the SCD 589 DECT Digital are guaranteed to have no interference from other electronic devices. With 60 different channels, compared to competitors’ two, the DECT baby monitor automatically switches to clear, unused channels. Many parents also like the intercom function, which allows them the ability to communicate with the baby through their handheld receiver. They can also remotely check the temperature and humidity of the baby’s room, cue up lullabies and turn on a night-light. Some complaints have been that the battery life doesn’t perform as advertised, that the volume doesn’t pick up baby talk as well as it picks up full-blown screaming and that it’s expensive. Prices for this wireless baby monitor run from $100 at Amazon to $200 in stores.

Nothing is worse than knowing your baby has been screaming his or her lungs out for the past hour, while you were out of earshot range, doing laundry, cooking or watching television. The wireless baby monitor enables parents to give the baby a little bit of encouragement from afar, while not caving in to the fussiness and whims of the child. Digital baby monitors are a great way to get chores done around the house and take a little break, without having to worry about the safety of your little one.
