  • Change tables

Baby monitors

Baby monitors are a modern day nursery accessory many parents rely on for peace of mind. They really come into their own if you’ve a two-story house, or baby’s room is some way from the kitchen or living areas of your home. A monitor can also be useful if you’re visiting with baby and want to put them down to sleep in an unfamiliar environment. 

On the baby unit:

  • Mains operation, and battery operation if you want to use it in areas without mains power (say, out camping).
  • A night light, if you intend to use one anyway.

On the parent unit:

  • Mains and battery operation, so you can take the unit with you in and around the house.
  • A belt clip.
  • Volume control.
  • A light display to indicate the sound level, if you want to see the noise your child makes rather than hear it – while you’re watching TV or vacuuming, for example, or if you have (or your babysitter has) problems with hearing.

On both units:

  • At least two different frequencies to choose from.
  • Power-on light.
  • Battery condition indicator.
  • Automatic battery back-up is useful in areas where power failures are common.
  • A cord long enough for your set-up.
