Safety 1st Child View Monitor and Television

Pros: Video Feature
Cons: Staticky, Poor Reception, Size, B/W, Corded Camera

When we moved our son into his own room and out of our room it was a big transition. Not just for baby, but for Mom too. To help ease the transition my husband bought me the Safety 1st Child View Monitor and Television. Even though our house is...

Pros: Can be used as a regular TV
Cons: Sound is lower than expected

As a first-time mom, I bought the Safety 1st Child View Monitor and Television around the time we transitioned our son from the bassinet in our room to the crib in his room. Like most first-time moms, I was terrified of SIDS and wanted to be able to see...

Pros: Easy setup
Cons: Camera must be plugged in

My wife and I have been foster parents for several years, so when we finally adopted our first child in December 2001 we already had many nursery items including a standard audio baby monitor. That worked great until it was time for the baby to move to...

Pros: Has "night vision" capability, allows you to see baby.
Cons: T.v. reception is extremely difficult.

I received this as a gift when I was pregnant with my first child. At the time, it was the only one like it on the market.

This is a good idea for a product if you are a little obsessive, as I was with my first. I wanted to be able to see...

Pros: the idea of it
Cons: price, picture, and sound

My mom gave me this monitor about three years ago when it first came out. She knows that I am very over protective of my children at all times and figured this would give me some piece of mind. She spent $150 to give me the time to sit and relax and...

Pros: comforting, easy to use, portable
Cons: somewhat fuzzy, expensive, LED makes scary red monster eyes

Having a baby is extremely difficult on a marriage ...

Nobody ever really talks about that, but it's true. All of a sudden a couple is thrown into a trinity, and the newest third member demands instant attention and immediate reaction....

Pros: able to see baby as well as hear
Cons: imperfect reception at long distance, Pricey

This is my first child, and as you can imagine, I was frantic at the idea of moving my son from our room to his own nursery, on the other side of the house, no less! But he was sleeping through the night by the 3rd month, and we realized our sleep was...

Pros: infrared light to see in the dark, camera mounts on baby's wall, tv is portable, two channels for clarity
Cons: none

I must admit, my husband and I are gadget freaks! I don't know how parents did it in the not so distant past. This has to be the best present Grandma has given us. I had never even heard of this monitor during my pregnancy, but when my mother saw it...

Pros: you can see what is happening, but still turn down the volume
Cons: set up was more complicated. but not hard

This is a wonderful Product.

I almost took it back to the store to get a traditional monitor set when I received it as a baby gift. I actually said to myself I would never let my child cry.

Well that was quickly an Idea of the...

Pros: Night vision, easy to use, eases your mind
Cons: fuzzy picture and sound, and it is expensive

As with most new parents, before my son was born we went out and bought all the necessary safety equipment. This included a baby monitor. We walked by the video monitor section of our local Toys 'R Us, with little more than a cursory glance. Too...

Pros: portable, safe, great product
Cons: reception a bit fuzzy during electrical storms

I have to say I was very nervous about spending this much money on a monitor nobody I knew had tried. Then I thought hmmm its my first baby and I am a nervous wreck sleeping. I had to get up about 6 times during the night to make sure she was ok. Well I...

Pros: security in seeing from another room that baby is okay
Cons: none

As a neurotic first-time mom, I was paranoid about my baby smothering herself or "falling" out of the crib, etc. So, when we saw this tv monitor where we could not only hear the baby, but see the baby as well, we decided it was the only way to...

Pros: Like being able to both see and hear baby
Cons: Customer service absolutely terrible!

After getting this monitor in October, the picture started to get very bad in February. I called the company and described my problem, and they gave me several different solutions. (Unplugging phone that was in the room, moving monitor, changing...

Pros: Good picture, see in the dark
Cons: poor sound, small field of vision, no battery for the camera

If you buy one of these, buy a baby monitor as well.

The sound quality was so poor that we have to use a baby monitor to hear what is going on with the kids.

I bought 2 of these on ebay for about $110 each and have been using them...

Pros: See your baby all the time
Cons: Hard to just carry around

When I first found out I was going to be a mother I freaked out. I bought all the new and expensive baby items. This being one of them. I was very skeptical at first due to the high price. I was however thankful that I did bite the bullet and make the...
