Advice on Poratble Video Monitor

Hi B.,

I have a Summer black/white video monitor and absolutely love it! I have it on through the night and take it downstairs with me when he naps during the day.
It is a little expensive (I think around $200 or so) but it is definitely worth it in my opinion.

BeBe sounds is a great video monitor. You can only purchase it online. I have had Safety First and Summer and they don't even compare!!! Bebe Sounds is very small and the picture is great. Also it doesn't interfere with your neighbors monitors. I think it cost around $150-$200, but well worth the money.

We have the summer one and love it. It really does not show color like it says, but has a great pic.

I also have the Summers video monitor, and couldn't live without it. It especially helped when she was about 8 months and started waking up without crying, b/c I had no idea how long she was awake in there by herself. Now I know exactly when she wakes up...I don't always go get her immediately if she is happy and I am in the middle of drying my hair or something...but I can see her and know she's safe. I love being able to check on her and make sure she is always safe without going in there and risk waking her up. I keep the sound turned off most of the time because it has kind of a loud hum...but can hear her easily anywhere in my small house, and can click on the sound if I am concerned. btw...mine was only $99...a little pricy but well worth it! This video monitor has been invaluable to me!!!!

I have heard that the one by Summers works well, but didn't use one myself. A friend of mine turned her monitor on one night and realized that she was watching a neighbors baby sleep. Just keep in mind that anyone with a receiver that is tuned to the same channel can also see everything you are seeing. Don't do anything (nursing/walking around without many clothes) that you don't want your neighbors to see.

we have the graco i monitor and love it. also, to avoid picking up your neighbors...go digital, like the i monitor. plus the range is like 2,000 feet. it's not a video monitor though.
good luck.

Hi B.,

I also have the Summer Monitor with night vision and I LOVE it!!! I can see my son at night, and during the day when he naps upstairs I can have the monitor downstairs and it last all day without haveing to recharge it. I bought my first one and hated it because the static was really loud, I took it back and got a new one (same monitor)and I could not be happier. I can even go outside and it still has great reception. There are a bit expensive but well worth it!

Morning B.,
The monitor that we use and love my daughter is 2 and I still rely on it is it by summer. They have two monitors that you can watch the baby, one is a small T.V. monitor I have friends that have that one, and they have one that is a hand held monitor that has a screen on it that you can click a button on the top and see your baby, that is the one we have, I really have enjoyed and have come to rely on it. I like it because if I am out side doing gardening I can bring it with me, the distance for you reception is really good also. Also, when the times comes for your little one to go stay and grandparents house, very easy to pack up. To me the other one that looks like a little T.V. you can't take it out side with you, pretty much where you put the monitor that is where it stays the one you can the hand held one you can take it along with you.
We got ours at Babies R Us, I want to say it runs about 130.00 maybe 140.00 but it is worth it. As I mentioned we still use ours. Hop ethis helps and God Bless and have a Blessed day!
