Filed under What Present To Buy For New Parents
Any new mother knows how invaluable a baby monitor is. And boy, have they improved in latter years. Mine not only picked up our neighbours crying baby, causing me to get up needlessly every night, but we even got the local taxi firm from time to time.
Many the night, we lay listening (wide awake and tense) as junior snuffled and grumbled, not sure whether he was just stirring in his sleep or whether he was wide awake and ready to let rip. Perhaps if we'd had the benefit of a monitor like the Digital Wireless Baby Monitor with Night Vision we'd have been a little more relaxed . . . and a little less sleep deprived.
Iteven helps tots fall asleep too - you can soothe your child to sleep with one of its five polyphonic lullabies.
The baby monitor has a 1.5" LCD screen and uses digital spread technology that enhances performance, gives no interference and allows you to watch your baby in comfort from your own bed, living room, or wherever you please within the range of 200m (50m indoors). The monitor is powered by 3x AAA rechargeable batteries which are included. It also comes complete with a low battery indicator.
The parent unit has a rechargable battery, so doesn't need to be plugged into a power point to work.
The night vision ris great too - much better than standing by the cot, holding your breath whilst your eyes adjust to the darkness only to realise you've managed to wake the baby up (and possibly scare him too).
You can choose to mute the unit if you wish. Many parents can hear a lusty cry from their bedroom anyway and don't want to hear every sigh and murmur. It's simply reassuring opening a bleary eye to see your baby fast asleep just as you left him.
There are many other great features with this monitor such as the temperature display and the two way communication so you can talk to junior without leaving the warmth of your duvet.
The Video Baby Monitor is available online for £69.99. more details
