Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Private Connection Monitor with Dual Receivers - White and Grey
Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
This is our second monitor because we lost track of the parts for our first monitor after lack of use. However, we decided to start using one again after sitting our front of our house when our son went to sleep. This monitor had all the qualities we were looking for. We love this monitor, it's reach is excellent. I see all of our neighbors monitor give them nothing but static and constantly needing to move their monitors when the signal dies. This monitor consistently provides clear and reliable signal. It's so good sometimes, I have to go in the room to ensure its still working. Usually I stop when I open the door to the room and hear myself. We will be retiring it because we need a two room monitor because of our second child. There is one flaw that occured about 1 month or so after initial use. One of the two receivers did start picking up static, however the other one is clear. Therefore I attribute this to owner wear and tear, not the monitor itself. I have not researched it but if this model could adapt to a second monitor it would be perfect.Customer Review: Not as good as I had hoped

We got this baby monitor as a gift for our baby shower for our first child. From the specs, it looked to have promise but all in all it was a bit disappointing. Now, at 17 months after we started using it, the unit is dead. Therefore, to celebrate its death, here are some pros and cons:
Pros:
1. Two receivers are very handy. We used one upstairs and one downstairs.
2. Range is decent and goes through walls.
3. Picks up sound well, at max volume, when the baby cries, you know it.
Cons:
1. Well, it only lasted 17 months. I would have liked to use it for our second child?
2. Staticky. Even though pro #3 is good, general sound quality is not great, so when the baby isn't crying, replace loud static.
3. Battery Life. Rechargable batteries are great but after a while they learned to stay alive for only 3-4 hours which meant plugging it in everywhere we went or wait for the annoying BEEPing sound when it started to run out of batteries.
Customer Review: Excellent Monitor!

We bought this monitor to use with our second child after having another Fisher-Price monitor for 4 + years with our first before it kicked the bucket. So far it's an excellent monitor. We live in a big, old farmhouse and although we have difficulty with reception using our cordless phones I have never had a problem with this monitor even outside the house. The range is great and I love that you get a warning beep (that you can't ignore) if you actually switch channels by accident or if your battery is running down.
It's crystal clear and charges well. You can also use the monitor while you are charging. I haven't had any problem with the battery "frying" like other reviewers have and I have left the monitor plugged in for days.
If this monitor lasts as long as our last Fisher Price did with the constant use I'll be very happy. I definitely recommend this monitor.

I recently purchased this monitor when my old Fisher Price 49 MHz Sounds 'n Lights monitor stopped working in one of my twins room after only a year. I could hear my next door neighbor but not my baby upstairs. I figured this one has many channels to choose from so the chances of that happening where slim.
Well... It works and I enjoy this monitor so much better that I am considering replacing my other Fisher Price one. With this monitor I do not hear any noise from it unless my child is making noise. My other one makes a low static sound all the time, it is not bother some but I can still hear it. I would highly recommend this model. The price is great and I have not tried the rechargeable batteries yet but it is nice to know that I can take it off charge at any time and not have to worry about finding new batteries.
A great find, a great buy, a great product!
Customer Review: Great sound quality, battery, and range

I can't recommend this monitor enough! We've been using it for 27 months, with many hours of use, and have only had to replace one battery recently; we keep the other one in the bedroom and it is almost always plugged in, without any problem. The reception of this monitor has allowed us to leave our child in a hotel room and hang out in the lobby or the hotel's restaurant (some people might think this is awful, but she won't fall asleep if we're in the same room with her, and it can make for a much more relaxing vacation - and we can hear if there is a problem!), or go to our neighbors' and know she is ok. Turned full volume we can hear our child breathing, and the clock ticking. We also appreciate the light system in case we are outside where it's noisy, or if we have to turn down the volumn. Also, we've dropped these I a million times, and they're always in working order.
