Baby Monitor Reviews and Buying Guide:Baby monitors are what all new parents want to have to keep an ear on their newborn child while they sleep. A quality baby monitor with a good rating is what is most important. You have to be able to trust this walkie talkie type of radio with your childs life (potentially) so we looked into the top makers of baby monitors to see who come away with the best reviews. The Fisher Price Sounds 'N' Lights 49 MHz was the most basic one reviewed, but it has all the functions you need for about $20. There are lights that distinguish between a sigh and a cry. The unit does get some extra static, but then again all the baby monitors we tested did as well. The Sony Baby Call 9 Channel Nursery Monitor ($40) is 900 MHz which is meant to reduce static and improve reception and range. The Sony still had static from other baby monitors, cordless phones, and cell phones. The sound quality was great and it's definitely worth the price if your 49MHz baby monitor is giving you too much static.
Wireless Baby Monitor - Is it worth it?Wireless baby monitors are not really necessary unless you have your child near an area where there is no electrical outlets or plugins. If anything, a wireless baby monitor would get more static from cell phones and cordless phones that are wireless as well. We found there to be no difference in terms of regular digital baby monitors versus the wireless baby monitors. They are not worth the price.
What is SIDS?:Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the leading cause of death among infants who are 1 month to 1 year old, and claims the lives of about 2,500 infants each year in the United States. It remains unpredictable despite years of research. Even so, you can take steps to help reduce the risk of SIDS in your infant. First and foremost, put your infant to sleep on his or her back if the baby is younger than 1 year old. SIDS is the sudden and unexplained death of an infant who is younger than 1 year old. It is a frightening prospect because it can strike without warning, usually in a seemingly healthy infant.

. It retails for about $160 and much like the motion sensor monitors, the video monitors are too much for most of us. The 900 Mhz technology provides superior clarity and range (350 feet). The transmitter unit comes with small camera which has LED lights for nighttime viewing. This portable, handheld monitoring system is small and lightweight. The rechargeable batteries last up to 10 hours, but many choose just to plug in the AC adapter instead. Some of the more extravegent video monitors for your baby are quite expensive with the Safety 1st High-Def Digital Video Monitor costing over $400. You can see all the
