Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Private Connection Monitor with Dual Receivers - White and Grey
Customer Review: Four Years Plus
Summary: 5 Stars
After seeing some other reviews of this monitor, I'm going to guess that we lucked out, or that these are hit and miss. As I posted in a comment to one reviewer, we've been using this monitor for over four years and only now are we looking to replace one of the batteries (looks like we'll have to put our trust in an unknown-to-me battery super-store website for that).
It's been a great product for us. We've taken the base and two receivers on several vacations, plus used them daily at home. A typical day has been to take a receiver off its charger when our (son, and then daughter) goes to bed, and put the other receiver on the charger. Then swap them the next day, and so on.
Of the many gifts we received from the baby shower for our first, this is among the ones that has gotten the most use. We've been very happy with it.
Customer Review: Works well, but no power light
Summary: 4 Stars
We've been using this monitor for almost 4 months now, and it works great. We use this one for the baby's room and the older version of the Fisher-Price Lights and Sounds monitor for our [...] room, and have no problem using both of them at the same time. The rechargeable battery is nice in that we're not constantly changing batteries, however, it doesn't give you much warning when the battery is getting low. My only other complaint would be that there is no power indicator. If the room is dark, I can't see the display on the receiver, and have no idea if it is turned on or not. However, the display will temporarily light up if you push the channel button. We have had almost no trouble with interference (changing the channel corrected it), don't really notice the static, and can always hear our son stirring, sometimes even breathing.Customer Review: Great value for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
Crystal clear. With my first son, I purchased Fisher Price's Sound n' Lights dual monitors, which I did not like - way too much interference. Shortly before my second son was born, I threw it away, and purchased this upgrade. I can hear every little coo, cough, sneeze and breath with this monitor. I keep the receivers turned up in central areas of my home, and I can hear them from two rooms away before I hear my newborn. I love it.
I haven't had the experience others here mention about the charge not lasting as my monitors are always plugged in. It may just be, as with many products that use recharable batteries, that the batteries just need to be replaced, especially when a product is used 24/7.
Customer Review: Horrible
Summary: 1 Stars
This monitor has been nothing but trouble for us. The battery life is terrible. It can charge all day, and by 5am, it is beeping from low battery already! The beeping is so scary the first few times you hear it! My daughter has been sleeping 9 hours since she was 2 1/2 weeks old, and the monitor's battery didn't last as long as she did. I had to get up and change the monitor to the other one that was charging. Ridiculous!Now we are having problems getting them to turn on. My daughter is only 11 weeks old, so the monitors are fairly new. We have to turn them on and off about 15-20 times before they will turn on. If you are shopping around for monitors, I would suggest a different one. Good luck!Customer Review: Great monitor!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great monitor! My husband and I live in a two story house (2200 sq ft) and this works great! We have one receiver in our bedroom and one in the living room downstairs. We hear every sound my son makes and can get to him when he wakes up before he starts crying. This is great because it has taught him that he does not have to cry to get our attention. So now when he wakes up he will just babble and coo instead of crying-much nicer to wake up to!
Also, my next door neighbor has the same monitor. We thought we were going to have a problem with them interfereing with each other. But mine is on channel A and her's is on channel B and we have never had any interference or static.
