Customer Review: False sense of security
Summary: 2 Stars
I have been using this monitor for several months. While I haven't had the problems others describe about static, and like features such as the night light, I do have one major problem with it which makes it impossible for me to recommend it.
Unlike every other monitor I have used, for eight children over 17 years, this monitor's receiver does not alert you when it is out of connection with the base. For example, my husband has a habit of turning off the base unit when he goes in our room which we share with our baby. Any other receiver I've had would start making all kinds of noise signaling that lack of connection. This one doesn't make any noise or indication that anything has changed. The same is true if someone switches "channels" on the receiver. I am assuming that Fisher Price sees this as a plus, because people probably complained about the noise.
Several times, not realizing that the system had been disrupted, I did not hear my baby crying when he woke up from his nap until the poor thing was loud enough for me to hear him without the monitor. That was bad enough, and I usually try to double check that the monitor is on and functioning. Today was the last straw, though. I had double checked everything, but apparently someone had switched the channel after I put him to bed. The poor little guy managed to flip himself out of his crib and had crawled to the bedroom door before anyone heard him.
I know my baby's safety is my responsibility. This monitor, however, can lull a parent into a false sense of security. I will take annoying static over dangerous silence any day! I wish I had gone for the video monitor.
