Recommendations on Video Monitor
Dear Moms,
My son turned 3 last week and the next day our video monitor stopped working. At first I thought I could live without it, but I've realized how much I used it to monitor him or him and friends when they play in his room upstairs. So, I'm faced with buying a new one on a limited budget. We had the Safety First monitor, a black and white one, that they no longer make. I was perfectly happy with it, don't need any bells or whistles, but need to be able to afford it!
So, if you have any advice, I would appreciate it!
Thanks! C.

I have seen used ones @ consignment stores. I like Kids and Kribz in fort Lauderdale. You should try there!! That way, you are not spending too much on a new one!!

Never used one. I just left the doors open, actually, had the kids and any "guests" play outside of the kitchen where I cooked and did bookkeeping, so I could be present.
However, if you choose to get another monitor (and we are all on a budget these days...) check E-Bay, local consignment shops, if you are west Palm Beach Faith Farms has lots of household items...
Blessings, S.

Go on Freecycle!!! Go to Yahoo.com, "Groups", and depending where you live either Wellington Freecycle or West Palm Beach Freecycle.................EVERYTHING on the site is totally free and all you have to do is go to the persons home to pick up!!!!! I LIVE on this website...basically it's people giving away their stuff instead of selling it...........People "offer" stuff and you can post "wanted" stuff also! GOOD LUCK!

C.,
Interesting to hear that you still use it at 3. I am positive I will be the same way.
We have the Summer Infant Day & Night Monitor & are really happy with it. It's $99. My son is only 17 mos, so hopefully, it will last a while.
Here is a link to it:

Try looking for a used one - Craigslist or EBay are good places to search. If you've got a computer with a simple webcam properly positioned that could serve as a baby monitor too.

If you don't mind if it is not brand new, I would check Craigslist or Once Upon A Child to find your old favorite!

Check if ebay or amazon has it, you may get it affordable and brand new.
