Tips for Choosing a Baby Monitor

  • Look for a portable model that you can easily move around the house with. That means the parent's receiving unit should have a battery-powered option.
  • You need a minimum of two channels, so you can switch over in case of static or interference.
  • Two-way transceivers are good as you can soothe your baby remotely with the sound of your voice.
  • Look for a sturdy model with curved edges that will withstand your little one?s curious hands. Also ensure that there aren?t any parts that can be pulled off and swallowed.
  • In Hong Kong where range is not really a problem, do still check the range against your floor space. Some can go as far as 180m.
  • Check for safety certification - if it has met US, UK or Australian standards, which are high.
  • Before use, test the monitor by having an adult speak into the transmitter while you walk around your flat to find ?dead spots? where the signal is blocked.
  • Keep the monitor away from cordless phone and radios, which are likely sources of interference.

    Although baby monitors are a great aid for parents, there is no substitute for parental supervision. Do check on your baby periodically.

Hi - how do i find a baby monitor that has no static? i bought the Lyndham (sp?) from bumps to babes, but it's still too noisy -even though i've switched channels. I've tried to get a digital one , but havent found any place that sells it. Any ideas?
 
Hi Kemerton - I also used the Lyndham first, but the noise just drove me crazy... So I bought a Philips DECT digital monitor, and that one has been great! Much better range, no noise etc - and you can even get one with a temperature monitor (which I find very handy).

I bought mine in the Netherlands, but perhaps you can get it via Amazon or through a friend?
