Motorola Digital Video Baby Monitor with 3.5 Inch Color LCD Screen
There is no other love in your life like the love you will feel for your baby. The bond formed between parent and child is instant and will last forever. And as a parent, you only want the best for your child. You want to know that when you put the baby in her crib, she will be safe. The best way to be certain your child is safe when you can’t be right with her is to put a baby monitor in her room.
There is an astounding selection of monitors on the market for new parents and the task of deciding which monitor to buy for your precious bundle of joy can be overwhelming. Deciding the most important factors to look for in a baby monitor can certainly help you narrow down your choices.
If you want a basic monitor, which enables you to hear when your baby awakens from being asleep, Safety 1st offers one for around $20. It has a base, which is plugged in somewhere near the crib (with the cord out of reach of your baby, of course!), and the radio portion, which is portable and rechargeable. The range is advertised as being up to 600 feet, but it is closer to 500 feet. It will allow you to travel out to the front or back yard to get chores done if necessary, and is a good, basic model.
There is also a baby monitor by Avent with DECT technology, which enables you to have a secure connection within your home. It is quiet, lightweight, and offers the ability to be able to talk back to your baby should she awaken and be soothed back to sleep with your voice. It also offers a soft white light, so middle of the night awakenings don’t need to be blind. Basic Avent models with DECT technology will cost around $90. There are also Avent DECT monitors which offer temperature sensors, so you will know if the room gets too hot or too cold for your little one. These monitors only cost a few dollars more at around $95.
The most popular, and best reviewed baby monitors on the market, though, are the video monitors. These monitors allow parents to not only hear their baby, but also see their little one via a portable monitor screen. A small digital camera points to where the baby is sleeping and delivers a color picture to a monitor. One of the best on the market is the Motorola Digital Video Baby Monitor. There are a variety of screen sizes available, depending on what your price range is. For a monitor with a 2.8 inch color screen, it will cost around $120. For a larger 3.5 inch color screen, the cost is around $200.
One of the most important purchases you will make for your baby will be a monitor. Determining exactly what you need from a baby monitor will certainly help decide which one will be best for you. If you only need the basics, Safety 1st offers a good, basic baby monitor. If you want a little more security and the ability to talk to your baby, the Avent monitor is an excellent choice. If you want to be able to see your baby while she sleeps, then the Motorola Digital Video Baby Monitor will be exactly what you are looking for. The peace of mind you get with a monitor, and knowing your little angel is safe will be priceless!
