Owners Comments & Criticisms
My daughter is 3 1/2 and this is my 4th monitor. When my little one is resting I'm in "super mommy" mode racing around trying to get laundry/cleaning/bills and the like accomplished before she wakes up. This means I'm up and down stairs, in the basement, even outside. I need a monitor that will not only alert me to the slightest sounds, have great range, but is also portable. My first monitor was a baby shower gift and in truth I couldn't even tell you what brand it was, my daughter coslept and I maybe used it a handful of times and wasn't all that impressed with it. Once she started napping/sleeping alone I purchased a first years 2.4 monitor (poor reviews here but I personally love it) which I think works fantastically, there is a static/hiss that is a constant when it's on but it's a white noise type sound and frankly it helps so I can tell that the monitor is still on and on the correct channel. The issue is that it's fairly large and the belt clip isn't really a clip, so when I'm running around in my super mommy mode it frequently tumbles off my pants and to the ground. This was the cause of death for my first one, I liked it so much I bought another and after a few falls down the stairs it to is on it's way out. Before buying another I decided to shop around, I saw the new fisher price ready2wear and thought WOOHOO something that won't fall off and break! It's sad we get giddy about such things, but I do. LOL I received my monitor today, charged it, and decided to test it out while my daughter was napping. I placed it in a upstairs bedroom with a radio on low, closed the door and came downstairs. I turned it on and realized what my problem would be with it. Only 4 volume choices! The static was almost nonexistant, however even on the loudest setting it was difficult to hear the radio playing (a tv being on would make it next to impossible). I unplugged it and tested my previous monitor, lots of typical white noise/static but I could also hear the radio just fine with the volume turned low, and even better if I turned the volume dial up. As I stated earlier I'm usually doing housework when my little girl is asleep so that means the washer or dryer might be going, I might have the tv or radio on, a vacuum even. With my other monitor I'd just turn up the volume and know I could hear her. With this one I don't have that option and I really don't think I'd hear her (at least those first quite ever so important to reach them before they full wake up) noises if I was doing anything other then sitting quietly reading. If only this had a wider range of volume options I think it would be near perfect, add in the option of vibration for noise or a earjack so I could use it when mowing the lawn or vacuuming and I'd be in heaven. We are about to add a wireless router to our house, and I've read my beloved 2.4 monitor might not work, so I might be stuck with this one... well I have been wanting to read a few good books & have an excuse not to do housework <wink
