Description of Safety 1st Crystal Clear Baby Monitor, White
Keep a close watch on baby with this compact, lightweight nursery monitor set. Whether you're inside or outdoors in the garden, this portable monitor offers an immediate, clear connection to baby's room, with an extended range of up to 400 feet. Designed to plug into an electrical outlet (AC adapters are included), it can also be used with two 9-volt batteries (not included). The monitor features a choice of two channels to minimize outside interference. As an added feature, the parent unit comes with a handy belt clip, so moving around the house is no problem. A low-battery indicator lets you know the unit is always working. Made of sturdy white plastic. --Marianne PainterBaby Products Reviews of Safety 1st Crystal Clear Baby Monitor, White
Customer Review: OK as a backup monitor
Summary: 3 Stars
Like another reviewer, we got this monitor free with a purchase at Babies R Us, although I should say from looking at the photo here, I'm guessing the one I got is an older model that was being discontinued. But who knows whether the manufacturer has updated the technology or just modernized the housing....
Anyway, we already had the Sony Baby Call 27 channel monitor, but since this was free, we got it to take with us on trips or when we're going to a friend's house for the evening and taking our Pack N Play -- that way, we wouldn't have to unplug and pack our Sony all the time.
What's good about this monitor:
- Both the transmitter and the receiver can run on AC outlet power OR on a 9-volt battery. This is great if you need to put them somewhere that doesn't have easy outlet access. In contrast, the Sony receiver is portable but the transmitter operates on AC power only.
- The receiver is compact and has a belt clip.
What's not so good:
- The sound is not nearly as clear as our Sony. Listening to it makes me think of what my grandmother says about her hearing aid -- it amplifies all the noises equally, so when there's a good bit of noise in the baby's room (i.e., music playing and heat running), you hear a lot of noise through the monitor. With the Sony, I feel like I can turn it down pretty low and it still picks up the baby's cries well without getting all that background noise.
- No lights. Now, maybe if I wasn't using the Sony all the time, I wouldn't be so dependent on the lights. And at night, I guess it's not an issue. But when the baby is napping, I am often washing dishes or running laundry or taking a shower or doing something equally noisy, and in those cases, I really rely on those lights to let me know if the baby is crying. With this monitor, I find myself having to pick it up and hold it to my ear to try to figure out what's going on.
Bottom line, if you're willing to spend a little more, you can get a superior product in the Sony Baby Call. Frankly, since the Sony 27-channel model has a rechargeable battery, you'll probably make up the cost difference over time.
