subject: 3 Key Points You Must Know In Order To Get The Very Best Baby Monitor For Your Little One! [print this page] Are you looking for a baby monitor for your nursery? Quite frankly, choosing a baby monitor is a lot of hard work and research, not to mention the fact that the numerous baby monitor options we have in the market today dont help in narrowing our choices down. So how exactly do you choose a baby monitor? Below are 3 essential things you should keep in mind when choosing a baby monitor.
1.Range matters, a lot.
Think of baby monitors as cordless phones because they both need to be in a certain range to operate properly, and in case you step out of range, then the baby monitor won't work anymore or you'll have very poor reception. The best baby monitor for your little one is one that works with your home, not against it. You should know how big your home is and find one with a range that can accommodate the size of your home.
2.Audio, video, or both?
With so many improvements in technology, the traditional audio baby monitor has evolved into one that has video functions as well. You can both hear and see your baby at the same time. There are also baby monitors with motion sensors that sound an alarm for the parents if the baby does not move for a certain period of time. Talk about surveillance!
3.Extra features do you need them?
It goes without saying that the more features a baby monitor has, the more expensive it is, so make sure you know what each and every feature is and decide if you need them or not. For instance, do you really need a baby monitor that glows in the dark? But for thoise who leave their lights on while sleeping, then this will be a feature they clearly don't need. There are also baby monitors that act like a 2 way walkie talkie with the press of a button your baby can also hear you respond to their cries. If you live in a small home and everything is pretty much within reach or just a short distance away, then its unlikely youll need it. A great baby monitor is one that can address you and your baby's needs, and one that has features you actually use and not those you can do without.
