Baby monitor advice please

[FEP]

Hi,

My new mission is to buy a baby monitor and wondered if you had any advice. The 2 in particular I have been looking at are:

BT Digital Baby Monitor Plus or

Philips Baby Care SCD489 - Deluxe DECT Baby Monitor

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly received

Thanks

get the cheaper one. you only need to hear the baby with it. really no need for fancy bits. ours played lullabies, had a night light, and all sorts. waste of time. it was a gift.

Which? says that the Tommee Tippee Sure Sound is good, its one of their best buys and is £30.
HTH...

Got the Tomy Walkabout one - its great. Got a talk facility so you can talk to the baby without having to go upstairs and a nightlight facility that you can operate either from your end or at the baby end - handy when trying to stick the dummy back in at 3am!! Its not that expensive either - very good buy imo

We have the BT digital plus. It's been great - very reliable, and no interference at all (we have wi-fi and some fancy rf remote control thing, so were worried about this when researching).

Friends have all said that it's much better than theirs (some cheaper, some more expensive).
One set of friends brought their Tomy one round before we had dd, and it just screeched and crackled the whole time!

Ours is Tommee Tippee sure sound which has a pad which goes under baby's mattress and registers every breath baby takes. Alarm goes off if no breath taken within 20secs. VERY reassuring. Cost about £50 from Argos.

Thanks for all the advice ladies. It is definately worth considering the interference side of things, living with a geek means we have gadgets all over the place. Something I hadn't considered before.

Thank you.

ours has only got two channels which if you are in a built up area is a bit pants.
We got the pad thingy as well but never used it since it scared the 'poo' out of us when we lifted her up the first time we used it. we could then hear her screams (as could everyone) without the monitor
