Baby Monitor Features!

The first baby monitors were nothing more than just a small intercom you hung by or on your baby's crib so you would know if they started crying. Advances in design and technology have improved, and so have baby monitors that you can purchase.

Baby monitors are used by millions of families every year to help watch over their newborns and older babies. Today, some monitors sense movement and sound, while others have small video screens for watching over your newborn baby. Here are some of the features of monitors that are most useful.

  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're 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 baby 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 the baby monitor has more than one channel, then there should be an easy way to change channels, and having a volume control feature is essential.

  7. Try the baby monitor out in the store if they will allow you to. The sound quality should be very clear from a distance. If there's a lot of static or the sound is very poor quality, this 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 these tips on buying a baby monitor have been helpful to you. This is an important purchase for your baby's safety and for your piece of mind. We don't recommend buying the cheapest baby monitor you can find, nor do we necessarily recommend the most expensive baby monitor you can find. Look for and purchase the baby monitor with the features that suit you and your baby's needs.
