Choosing A Baby Monitor

Choosing A Baby Monitor

By:


The process for researching and finding a suitable baby monitor is exactly the same as any other infant-care product.

Yes - it's stressful and can be overwhelming. It's understandable, you need to keep on eye on your baby when you're in the other room, however you just don't know which monitor is right for you. It's hard to know how much you should pay. You enter a store and are over-whelmed with the selection. It's not hard to feel frustrated or overwhelmed - but try not to worry! So let's talk about how to determine which monitor system will be great for your baby and you.

Make sure you're able to adjust the volume on your receiver. Every mother wants to know the minute baby is unhappy, but you'll want to have a volume adjust for practical reasons. You'll want to avoid the scenario where it sounds like a jet flying in your house, and it's only because your baby is happily playing with toys. You DO want a system that adequately conveys an alarm without breaking your eardrums.

Choose your frequency carefully. Many inexpensive baby monitors will operate at a 49MHz frequency. This particular frequency will contain the greatest amount of interference - must be why they're so cheap to buy. These monitors will also give you some surprises - incoming phone calls from cell phones, or even brief phone conversations from people around you, or baby monitors from other houses/apts close to you. The better quality monitors, which run at higher frequencies, won't give you these problems, though, and they are more user-friendly. However, you can side-step these problems by getting a monitor operating at 2.4 Ghz.

How many options do you want? If you are living in a small home, you may not even have room for a more extensive system, which is why you might need something more along the lines of a base station or single receiver setup. Multiple receivers are a good option for those who have more space, for those who live in a larger home, or for those who have larger families already. If you are going to choose a multiple receiver system, find one which has both inbound and outbound capabilities, so that more than one person can use it. Also, if you choose to have more than one receiver, it will allow you to monitor more than one child consecutively, and you also won't have to worry about always carrying it around with you.

There is a lot to take in when you want to purchase your baby monitor. From how extensive you want your system to be to how much it costs to what kind of interference it can have in your daily activities. Take your time when researching, that way you can really make an informed decision which can keep your family happy and your baby safe!
