Monitor Suggestion

That was my dilemma not having a monitor is not an option in our house because our h-vac system is right outside our bedroom door. It looks like some people have had luck with the channel switching thing but I ended up just getting another monitor, the Sony 900Mh Baby Call - this one has several channels to switch, I figured it would be easier to find something without interference with several channel options. There is a Graco monitor out there that has 2 child units and 2 parent units, but most reviews said it didn't work very well.

i also have the lights and sounds. i got another one w/ just one monitor for our 2nd son and i keep 2 in our bedroom on each channel,, but take the 3rd one for downstairs and switch between channels...it works great.

You can buy 1 monitor & place it in the middle of both rooms & it has the strength to pick up sounds both places. I can hear my neighbors children... those monitors have great range.

I have twins and bought the Summer video monitor w/ two cameras/sensors. You can use them in two rooms or the same room and hear everything and see it as well. I had to order it online from Babies R Us. Its been great and worked well for 3 years now.

I had the FPL&S monitor for my first child. When my second child came I got another one. It looked basically the exact same but the second one never got the same reception quality of the first one. I don't know if it's b/c they interfere with each other or what. Sometimes it's static I hear and sometimes it's just loud interference. It's not all the time just occassionally so I wouldn't not recommend getting this brand again but wanted to let you know ahead of time that if your's does it you're not alone. I have two bases, one in each room (channel A for the older kid and channel B for the younger), and four monitors, one for each kid in the living room and one for each kid in the bedroom. I keep them on their different channels all the time. You can switch channels with this brand on one monitor and hear them but b/c the bases have to be on different channels it sounds better to use to two monitors. Hope this helps.

honesty I found that the baby and I both got more sleep without a monitor. if he really needed me, I always heard him
