Baby Products Reviews of Summer Infant Baby's Quiet Sounds Video Monitor
Customer Review: This this the ONLY advice I have for new parents!
Summary: 5 Stars
Truthfully, I hated the part of being pregant that was getting all kinds of advice. I promised myself not to be like that after I had my baby. However, I can't pass up the opportunity to REALLY SUGGEST getting THIS video monitor. It is so nice to be able to look at the baby without taking the chace of disturbing him. When he was first born it made me feel like I was with him - even thought I was not. On the very practical side - We love it so much in our 2 bedroom condo, I can only imagine the peace of mind in a house. It is especially nice now that he is rolling because I can see if he has rolled into a corner or has his face covered by a blanket. My friend still uses hers with her 4 year old to see what she is doing while playing in her room. She has a second one for her 2 year old. It is not that much more than a regular one and worth EVERY penny.Customer Review: Great peace of mind

I got this monitor at my baby shower and love it! I have twin 2month olds who were born 2 months prematurely. It's great to be able to look at the screen when we hear a cough or cry to see what the babies are doing rather than getting out of bed all the time. (like we did the first night they were home)The "snooze" button on top is nice for light sensitive sleepers. The screen can be very bright in a dark room, so it is nice to be able to turn off the screen while you're sleeping but turn it right back on if you hear something. I did take away one star because sometimes the picture on the screen will go a bit scrambled due to static, but that goes away in a few moments. I would definetly recommend this monitor to those whose babies won't be sleeping in the same room, especially if your babies have health complications or concerns like prematurity.Customer Review: Bad Reception........ Dont Buy!
Summary: 1 Stars
My baby is due in a few months. The nursery is on the second floor, the master is on the first floor. I went to Babies R Us and found two video monitors; The Summer Infant for $99.00 (I noticed that out of 10 monitors on the shelf, 2 had been returned) and the Safety First for $149.00. I decided to buy both and decide for myself which one would give the best reception.
Both monitors use the 900 mhz frequency. My cordless phones are 2.4 ghz. Nothing in my house uses 900 mhz. I set up each monitor one at a time.
The Summer Infant failed miserably. Reception was poor at best and was not clear.
The Safety First had great reception and was very clear.
I have read the reviews were people have said how wonderful the Summer Infant monitor is and wonder if it is paid advertisement. Readers of these reviews BEWARE!!
Customer Review: Disappointed & Disgusted

What a waste of good money. We received this monitor as a shower gift. I'd registered for it based on the same glowing reviews you've read here. Stupidly, I waited several months, (until we were ready to move our baby out of our room into the nursery) to hook everything up. The reception is unbeliveably poor. We live in a 1 story, 4 bedroom house with 3 cordless phones. Thinking the phones might be causing our bad reception, I disconnected them all. We found this made absolutely no difference. No matter what channel, or which camera, or room I tried, nothing seemed to work. At last, I hooked the monitor up in the hallway directly outside the baby's room, and managed to get a constantly rolling, grainy view of the crib. The static was horrible. We will be donating this and buying something more worthwhile - like a $19.99 set of Fisher Price audio monitors.Customer Review: Most difficult opperation of this product was figuring out how to repackage it to bring it right back to the store!

Maybe because we use a nightlight in our daughter's room, but this monitor did not work at all. I got a hazy image, wherever there was bright white color in the room (her crib rails or sheets) but our brown baby was invisible. I bought it because it had night "vision" and we are phasing our toddler into a real bed. I wanted to know what that "clunk" was without disturbing her if she was being good. The picture is clearer (but still very vague) during the daylight hours, but is impossibly faint at night (again, maybe because the night "vision" was disturbed by the nightlight). Whatever the case, I used it as a regular sound monitor that night, then immediately hooked up her old monitor and returned this one to the store. It was worse than worthless. How much good is it to see the crib, if you can't tell if the child is in it or not?
