Longest Lasting Monitor Recommendation

I highly advise you get the Sony baby monitor - you can search for it on Amazon to read reviews

Sony NTM-910 900 MHz BabyCall Nursery Monitor, NTM910

But I have had mine 3+ years and still works great. It has gotten wet, thrown on the floor, against the wall, you name it (I have 2 little boys). The thing I like most about it is it has 2 settings, one where you hear EVERYTHING, and one where if you have a fan or soft music playing you will only hear it for like 10 seconds and then it will be quiet, but if there is a new noise - like crying - it will come back on. This is perfect for if you have a fan in the baby's room and you are trying to sleep and want to hear the baby but not the fan.

I second the Sony monitor. Had mine for almost 2 years now and it is fabulous! Very good quality product. I was referred by several people that this monitor was the one to get for quality and price, and I definitely agree.

I used something called Angel Response or something like that. I used it for over 4 years. I took it on every trip and it was great. Had very little frequency issues. It came with a sids pad you put under the mattress but I never used it.

We have a very basic First Years monitor that has lasted for over 3 years now. After about 2 years of regular use, the battery in the main part got worse and worse at holding a charge. We had to leave it on the charging base or it would die in the middle of the night. My husband called the company to ask about replacement batteries, and they sent one, free of charge. So you might try calling Graco to see if they'll do the same for you.

I bought my current monitor at Goodwill for $4. No money spending guilt when it dies! Of course it's like cheap sunglasses--the cheap ones you never lose, the expensive ones disappear in a week. Anyway, check out Goodwill or CL to save you money. It stinks that these things don't last longer. You can recycle them through special electronic recycling days through your city.

Best,

We have a fisher price sounds and lights for about 1.5 years now that shows no signs of giving up. The handheld unit can be plugged in as well as run on batteries (we keep it plugged in). I think it is mid-range, we have a small house so it works everywhere for us and even in the backyard. It's fairly inexpensive and a good basic baby monitor.

We have a Fisher Price one that is great. My daughter just turned two and we've had the same monitor with no problems since she was born. The base and receivers both plug in and then the receivers just charge and then can travel around the house. We got ours at Babies R Us or Target.
