Stopped getting reception
I got this at my baby shower almost a year ago. I loved it when I first started using it, but lately (almost 10 months later), it barely gets reception and is always staticky.

Awful
Pros – 2 receivers, the lights are easy to see across the room
Cons – Constant interference, usually bad enough to disturb an exhausted parent’s precious few hours of…

Surprised by the negative reviews – we LOVE our monitor!!
I came online trying to see if I could order another receiver for our monitor because we hate trying to remember to bring ours upstairs and downstairs each morning and night.

This really IS a good monitor!
We have used this monitor for almost two years without a single problem. I keep it turned down low as it will buzz if you turn it up too high. It hasn’t failed us yet.

Surprised at the negative reviews; have had no problems
I was surprised to see all the negative reviews as we have been very happy with our monitor. We have used it in 3 different houses now with no problems.

Good product, nice reception
We’ve been using this for a month now, and I really cannot complain about it. It works well, picks up even the faintest baby noises.

I require a monitor w/lights because of a hearing disability. Anyway, I accidentally broke our monitor that worked awesome, so I promptly got on the net to try to find a replacement because I HAVE to have a monitor. Our original monitor is no longer made, & it was Friday night, so I was unable to call Safety 1st to see if they still sell it. I was not going to hold my breath because our original model was 5+ years old. Anyway, I looked high & low for one w/lights, because since I have a hearing disability, I cannot always rely on my hearing, so I also needed a sight indicator that my baby was awake (or sleeping peacefully). Well, I went to Target because there are no other stores that sell baby monitors in my area (we have a Super Wal-Mart/SWM, but they only had 2 monitors in store for sale, & they were not good quality). I bought this one because of the reviews, & was horribly disappointed at the terrible quality of it. It has some awesome features (rechargable batteries, 2 receivers, complete portability), but the fact that my baby has to be screaming at the top of her lungs & have purple in her face from doing so to get the monitor to light up, & the constant static are forcing me to return it promptly!!!!! Good thing I was extra aware & was waiting for my baby to wake up (so I knew when she was awake & wanted me) because she didn’t have to rely on the lights to alert me to her being awake. After I picked her up, I asked my older child to go in the bedroom & talk to me. . . no lights! I told her to talk louder. . . NADA! Then I told her to yell. . . FINALLY it lit up!!! I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t want my baby to have to scream at the top of her lungs to let me know she needs me!!!! I assume other parents would share my feelings, & if so, be sure to use caution when trying it out for the 1st time w/your baby/child. Safety 1st was open this morning, & I promptly called them. They actually have a few of the original monitor I had that got broken, so I ordered a replacement!!! What a relief!!!! I had scoured the internet for another super sensitive monitor (which I had originally bought before I lost my hearing in one ear), but found none!!!! It seemed as though my only option was going to be a video monitor, but those were so pricey. Anyway, I am thrilled that I am not going to have to deal w/this terrible monitor much longer!! I do recall when I originally bought our monitor 5 years ago, I had to buy 10 different ones to get one that didn’t have static, & one that lit up properly. I thought that surely the technology had to have improved over the past 5 years, but obviously it hasn’t. I also saw monitors that I had tried in the past had 4-5 stars, but didn’t work at all for me. If you are looking for a monitor, I would suggest buying a few of them & trying them out in your home because every house is different as far as different sources of interference, etc which may impact how a specific monitor works for someone. What works for me, may not work for you & vice versa. Also, try using your microwave, cell phone, & cordless phone near the monitor to make sure they do not interfere w/the monitor. There is nothing like having your baby scared out of his/her diaper when their monitor picks up interference & makes horrible sounds! The monitor I LOVE so much & that works so great is the Safety 1st 900mhz Grow-With-Me Monitor. When I was trying to find it before I could reach Safety 1st I saw it didn’t get really good reviews (2 1/2 on Amazon. com & 3 1/2 on e-pinions. com), but I myself would give it 5! It does have it downsides (1 receiver & no rechargable batteries for the parent unit), but I would take those for being able to hear my baby breathing (YES, it is THAT sensitive) or if she is having difficulty. Hope you find a monitor that works well for you & your family!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reception, You can actually hear him breathing.I used this monitor to listen for my elderly father. It was great! We could hear his every move which was necessary, because of his risk for falling.

Two models in two years- moving to different company
We have had two different models of this monitor over two years. The first broke after traveling cross country in checked luggage.

We purchased this as an extra monitor to have to take when we go places – we use the Sony Baby Call here at our house (which is awesome) – we wanted soemthing cheaper since we wouldn’t be using it that much. It is awful! The static is terrible, and the lights are pointless, becuase it picks us every singe noise around it, therefore, it always looks like the baby is crying if you have the sound turned down – but the static is unbearably annoying – so you’re stuck. Spen the extra $$ and get the SONY!
