We have the Angel Care ones.
First child, we bought the Movement (Breathing pads) & Sound.
Second child, we upgraded and bought the Movement (Breathing pads), Sound & Video.
They are expensive but definitely worth the money. I love them!

I never used one. I found my babies screamed loud enough when they needed me, I well and truly heard them all over the house. If they weren’t loud enough to be heard, they didn’t really need me urgently and could be left on their own for a little longer

I have oricom and love it. I had an angelcare and returned but it might be more suitable if you want a simple monitor

I recommend Angelcare Movement & Sound Monitor.

i think target had some great ones. im interested in the answers .

We bought an oricom but hardly used it is we lived in a small apartment and there was no need for it.

Hope you found one that you like.

I think the Oricom is a good one, might be worth seeing if any are available on ebay.

Did you find a monitor that you like?

We like Tommee Tippee Monitor

I am currently using an Oricom monitor which is quite good when the receiver is in the dock, however I have found that it doesn’t have a lot of battery life once you take it out…
I love the idea of the monitor that hooks up to your phone that someone has suggested earlier in this thread!

Fisher price is good one.

Rach has a lot of valuable information Good Luck

Azmaz good thinking my sis had fisher price!

Hope you found the one most suitable for you with so many helpful suggestions

i had a fisher price one, never let me down and had a great range if u wandered outside to hang out washing or chat on the phone

I hope you found one you like. I was given one and only used it twice. Didn’t see the point when I could always hear bub when she cried anyway.

I never used one but think they r all the same really.

Good luck

Electronic baby monitors allow you to check whether baby is sleeping soundly or crying when you aren’t in immediate earshot. They have come a long way from the hissing, basic walkie-talkies of yesteryear – and now allow parents to hear what their baby is doing without making any loud noises like opening a door or stepping on a creaking floorboard. These monitors are only for parents’ peace of mind and reassurance, and not all of them monitor breathing or help prevent sudden infant death syndrome.

These are the top five results in Kidspot’s Best of Awards survey of 2013 asking mums what they recommend in the category of best baby monitor.

Angelcare Movement & Sound Monitor

What mums say:

“First, it makes me feel more comfortable, knowing that the alarm will go off if something is wrong; and second, I bought the monitor we have seven years ago for our second daughter, and it still works perfectly. Well worth the money!”

“It is a wonderful monitor which also monitors babies breathing and an alarm will go off if your baby is removed from the cot.”

Motorola MBP28 Digital Video Baby Monitor

What mums say:

“The picture and reception is awesome, especially with the antenna up at long range or whilst in the back shed. The menu is easy to use without instructions. You can control the camera’s angles, speak to the child clearly through the unit, and the temperature gauge seems pretty accurate. The music is good too. Overall a great product and would recommend it to parents.”
