Need Baby Monitor Recommendation
Hi I'm looking into buying a baby monitor and would like to know if you have any that you recommend. I need a relatively inexpensive one, less than $40. Thanks

I've been really happy with this one:
http://www.target.com/
search for Fisher Price Sound Lights Dual Monitor
It comes with two receivers, and both can be battery operated (holds the charge really well!), so I can go wherever I need in the house or yard and still hear my son. Also, the price was more than nice at $33, and my son loves the night-light on the base in his room. We've had it since he was born in September '07, and haven't had any problems.
Good luck!

I have seen several being advertised in the Craigslist.com baby/kids section... try there, but when you pick it up make sure you plug it in and test it before paying.
I also use the whisper one from Evenflo and it works great. One suggestion is to make sure it comes with a battery back up for those nights when the electricity goes out.

The two way feature is great, also look for one that lights up with the sounds. I keep the monitor low, but I can look to see if she's crying. Also, if you're in the shower or some place loud you can look and see.

I am selling it for 25 if you are interested. The base is also a night light and have had no issues with these monitors at all.

I have an Evenflo Whisper Connect. The thing I like about it is that it has a walky-talky feature so you can kind of use it like an intercom. It’s really nice for when I’ve left something downstairs that I need my partner to get while I’m changing a diaper. Mine came with two parent units so we keep one in our room and one in the living room. I think mine was about $50 but I’m not sure (got it as a shower gift.)

Really loved my Sony Baby Talk monitor (2 years ago). It had a feature that would let the monitor be quiet until the baby made a noise, even if the mobile was playing, it could tune it out and only register baby sounds. FABULOUS!

I received the Fisher Price 900MHZ Long Distance Monitor at my babyshower and I love it! It's very portable! You can hear a little bit of white noise (static) but I think most monitors are like that. It's $37.99 so it fits your budget. Here's the link:
