Knowing You Are Needed With A Wireless Baby Monitor

The wireless baby monitor is the most popular type of baby monitor system on the market. Each system comes with a monitor, which is placed in the infant's room; either mounted to the wall, attached to the crib or placed on a table.

Then there are one or more parental units, which usually look like walkie-talkies (if handheld) or like LCD screens if it has video capabilities. Parents can then accomplish chores and have some down-time while the baby sleeps, without worrying that their infant may be in distress.

While a digital or analog baby monitor isn't an essential child-rearing item, many parents feel they are being more attentive when using one.

The Graco iMonitor, which is the next level up in the Graco baby monitor series, is more sensitive, has lower interference and ensures that there will be no accidental eavesdropping from neighbors who also happen to own Graco monitors.

The downside to this wireless baby monitor is that the battery run-time is relatively short and the range is not as far as advertised. The average price is $80 to $105, depending on where you buy it. If you want a unit guaranteed to have zero interference, then you might want to try the Philips baby monitors, but you'll be paying considerably more.

Nothing is worse than knowing your baby has been screaming his or her lungs out for the past hour, while you were out of earshot range, doing laundry, cooking or watching television.

The wireless baby monitor enables parents to give the baby a little bit of encouragement from afar, while not caving in to the fussiness and whims of the child. Digital baby monitors are a great way to get chores done around the house and take a little break, without having to worry about the safety of your little one.
