Baby Monitor Help

I have a phillips one (got it thru Fly Buys)...and it works real good.....how ever we never tried to take it too far from the main baby monitor (we have a single storey house).

I also know that the angel Care Sound and movement monitors are really good...the best! As they also pick up the babies breathing movements...and if the baby does not breath for few seconds the alarm goes off, the range is 150m......It is expensive tho.

Yer i brought the philips one (im selling) coz i wanted the angelcare monitor (costs $250) pricey but since this maybe our only baby we felt we needed it

We have the phillips one from fly buys as well and the other day piper was asleep on me in the lounge and I could hear another baby coming through the moniter so there must be another moniter in the area and mine is picking up theri frequency lol

we have the tommee tippee one and its great! it has a teddy bear on the baby unit that is a nightlight...you can also get a yellow bunny i think.
it has 2 frequency channels also. we got it from the warehouse, i think it was $80??
one thing i would look for is one that has lights on the front to show when bubs is making noise so you don't have to have the sound up while watching tv etc (our one does)

we have the phillips one I think we got off flybuys and also a seperate breathing monitor. I would have gone for angel care monitor that has the sound and breathing all in one but we werent going to get a breathing one except he was prem and my dad wanted to buy it for us but wouldnt be without it now. Oh and we have had no problems with the phillips monitor

Lol Carmel, that reminds me of that alien movie where they use they baby moniter to listen to the aliens. Had mel Gibson in it.. Signs, that was it. Sorry, random post..

hehe no worries Roksana I would love to have another so we will jsut see and probably see a specialist for it but time will tell

Carmel - I have heard that quite a few times from other mums it must be wierd and confusing lol

We have the AngelCare sound and movement monitor, and its so amazing! It really does work for sensing even just the movement from Grace breathing - there's been a few times when we've got her out of her cot and accidentially forgot to turn the switch off, and 10 seconds later the alarm goes off because it can't sense any movement. We tried 3 other monitors (including the Phillips - luckily we were able to take them back and exchange them!), and none of them picked up sound without interferance. Maybe its just something to do with the area we live in...

We didn't originally intend to buy the movement one, but it wasn't that much more than the sound alone one, and I'm so glad that we did - its just that little bit extra reassurance. It seems that with baby monitors, unfortunately you do seem to get what you pay for

oh that sucks rachael!   we've never had any probs with ours. i liked it so much i bought my brother one from trademe and his goes well too.
where did you get yours from?
