Baby Monitors

[Laranna]

I have the Angelcare sound and movement one too - the one with 2 pads, digital display with room monitor, temp etc.

I agree everything that snowchickie said! DS is still in his cot in our bedroom and I still put the nursery unit on at night even though he is an arms reach away! Just peace of mind really.

Yep the room temp version with 2 pads is what I have and I bought it in July.. I went in May but they told me it was about to be released so I waited till the following month to snag one. Mine wasn't over $300.. From memory around the $240-250 (this was discounted price) mark but they have probably come down a little now as they've been out almost 6 months but if you shop around you should get it cheaper especially if you get all your nursery stuff from the same place, which I did, so they gave me a discount.

You've made a great decision - the Angelcare is brilliant.

I just wanted to add that monitors are great for more than just knowing when your bub is screaming. Both my girls generally wake up happy so they don't cry. The monitors let me hear one of them chattering away to herself when she wakes up - lets me have a few minutes to finish what I'm doing but still keep an ear on her so I know how long I can leave her before she gets upset.

Just wondering if anyone has found the montiors they've used haven't worked properly due to interference from our cordless phones. We bought one from **** Smith a couple of months ago that had a screen on it so you could actually see the baby as well as hear it, but ended up taking it back 'cause there was too much interference. Also have people found they work well over long distances? Our baby's bedroom will be at the other end of the house from ours and we were thinking it would be good at night particularly so we can hear if they cry. Seems that the Angelcare may be the way to go, so just wondering whether anyone has had any issues with distance etc?
