Choosing a Baby Monitor
Finding a good baby monitor for your home is like finding any other type of baby-related product.
You’ll quickly discover there’s a lot of stress and information overload. You’re right to want to stay alert about your baby when you’re in other rooms, yet you may be having trouble knowing which system is best to use. You don’t know what’s a fair price. You see dozens of different brands and types of systems when you go to the store. So many people start getting overwhelmed and a bit frustrated. But there’s no need to worry! In this article, you’ll explore how to know when you’ve found the system that’s just right for you.
Make sure you’re able to adjust the volume on your receiver. Of course you’ll want to hear any sound of distress, but try to find a monitor that allows you to adjust volume to a comfortable level. You won’t want to be suddenly awakened by a harsh, shrieking noise just because your baby rustled the covers. Naturally you would appreciate a system with a reasonable amount of volume control for comfort.
Is there a lot of noise in your environment? If you have other children, share your home with others, or work from home, you may want to consider that these sounds can easily drown out the noises of your baby, which is why you may want to opt for a visual indicator which will alert you when there is something directly related to your baby.
Since you can’t stop every little noise from occurring around you, you will find comfort in using this kind of system, because it visually alerts you when your baby is in distress, so that you become aware, even if you can’t hear it. This is also a good feature if either parent is hearing impaired, because it allows you to know what is going on even though you cannot hear it.
There are also sites that publish lots of consumer reviews of all kinds of products; the most popular example would be Amazon.com. These are honest reviews from consumers who are familiar with the item. Be prepared to sort through a wide range of reviews though! Almost every item has both people who recommend it and those who don’t. If you want to get the most out of reviews like these you’ll have to focus on the more useful ones that give you specific reasons why they do or don’t recommend something. That will help you figure out if a monitor is good enough for you or if you should choose something else.
So hopefully these few tips will make your decision a little bit easier. The trick is to figure out what is most important to you and your family and base your purchase on those things. For whatever reason, an extended battery life could be the most important thing.
You never know, perhaps in the end you may prefer to have a visual monitor so you can always keep an eye on your baby.
