Baby Monitor Makes Life Less Stressful
By G L Harris
It’s natural for first-time parents to fear the unknown.
They worry about the baby needing attention and not
hearing their infant if they are in another room. How
can we check if the baby’s up without waking him or
her needlessly? Is the new nanny trustworthy while I’m
at work?
For some people, a baby monitor is a lifesaver, making
life less stressful and allowing parents to tap into
their child’s world at any moment, from any location.
For others, the baby monitor system is overwhelming
because they never really feel like they can "take
a break." It’s up to each couple to decide whether
a monitor is a good fit for their family.
Options Include Sound And Lights
There are a number of helpful features to look for
in a modern baby monitor. For instance, some offer both
sound and lights, which is handy for parents who are
working, on the phone, or would rather not hear a sudden,
ear-piercing shriek through the receiver.
Often, the louder the baby cries, the more lights flash.
Also, video monitors can show a sleeping baby or a baby
who is awake, also eliminating the need for audio tracking.
Some wireless baby monitors come with more than one
receiver, which is a good option for larger houses or
two parents who are on-duty at the same time.
Belt Clips For Your Receiver
Belt clips are ideal for the on-the-go parent who is
moving around the house and doesn’t want to be bothered
with the hand-held receiver. After all, what good is
a monitor if one forgets to have it in the room?
One of the primary complaints with the baby monitor
is interference. This is the danger with any sort of
transmitting device, like a cell phone, cordless phone,
pager or wireless internet connection.
Funny Voices Coming Through The Receiver
Cell phones, appliances, radios and fluorescent lights
can all possibly interfere with a new baby infant monitor,
causing fuzzy reception and strange voices to transmit
through the receiver.
Even video monitors can suffer poor reception, so it’s
important that a monitor is selected that operates on
different frequencies. (For instance, a 2.4 GHz monitor
and a 2.4 GHz cordless phone may interfere). If the
next door neighbors are also monitoring a baby, then
digital baby monitors will ensure the neighbors aren’t
listening in to your house.
A Range Of Brands With Many Features
There are many baby monitor brands to choose from,
but here is a quick overview of a few popular purchase
options. Consumers like the Evenflo Whisper Connect
audio monitor because it offers two channels, a low
battery indicator, a belt clip and sound lights, as
well as a three-way talk feature so parents can listen,
correspond and also talk to baby.
The Fisher Price Baby monitor (Sound N’ Lights) offers
a range of up to 1,500 feet and alerts parents when
they’re getting out of range. The Graco baby monitor
is loaded with features, including multi-child monitoring,
2,000-ft. range, night vision and zoom. Mobi offers
unlimited receivers, wide camera angles, voice-activated
video transmission and high-resolution screens.
Summer has the largest selection of sound and video
monitors that are loaded with features like night vision
and volume control, although the range isn’t as good
as other models.

As a new parent you want the very best for your baby.
You want to make sure he or she is safe, happy and comfortable.

There are just going to be times when you have to leave
them in a room to go perform another task or to simply
get some sleep. Thankfully with so many different types
of baby monitors you never have to leave them completely.
A baby monitor can keep your child safe at all times
when you can’t be with him or her.
