Shopping For Baby Monitors
by: Robin Darch
The first baby monitors were really just a small
intercom you hung by your baby's crib so you would know
if they started crying. Advances in design and
technology have improved and so have the baby monitors
you can purchase.
Baby Monitors & Intercom
Baby Monitors are used by millions of families every
year to help watch over their newborns and older babies.
Some now sense movement, sound, and some even have
visual monitors for watching over your newborn baby.
Here are some of the monitors that I find to be very
useful.
What are some of the features I should look for in a
Baby Monitor?
1. Whether it has one receiver or two or more is one
feature to consider. Having more than one receiver for
the Baby Monitor, means you don't have to carry it from
room to room with you. You can have one receiver for the
baby monitor in your bedroom, one in the kitchen, one in
the bathroom, and so on.
2. Is the receiver for the Baby Monitor battery operated
or electric?
Baby Monitors that run on batteries should also have an
AC Adapter. If the batteries go dead, a nice feature is
one that alarms you to that fact. Otherwise, you will
just think the baby is being quiet, when in reality, you
are no longer monitoring the baby.
3. Another option to having more than one receiver is to
get a Baby Monitor with a belt clip, so that you won't
forget it when you go from room to room.
4. The receiver should be portable and lightweight.
5. The range of the monitor is also important. Some have
only a range of 100 feet, while other Baby Monitors have
a range of over 400 feet.
6. If it has more than one channel, then there should be
an easy way to change channels and the volume control
feature on most Baby Monitors is essential. Some really
don't have one.
7. Try the Baby Monitor out in the store if they will
allow you to.
The Baby Monitor's sound should be very clear from a
distance. If there is a lot of static or the sound is
very poor quality, the Baby Monitor isn't for you.
8. Surface mounting options for your Baby Monitor are
important as well. The ability to mount it in more than
one way should be included. Clips, suction cups, and
other mounting options make using your Baby Monitor
easy.
We hope the Tips on buying a Baby Monitor are helpful to
you.
