 Don't bother - horrible static December 21, 2008
We have two monitors that we use constantly - one for our baby's room and one for our toddler's room. We have a much cheaper Safety 1st monitor that works sooooo much better than the more expensive Fisher Price Sounds N Lights monitor. The FP monitor has constant static. It's obnoxious and you can barely hear noises from the child's room over the static noise. We've tried all 10 channels, with and without the other monitor on and nothing improves the static problem. I would never recommend purchasing this product. We will be purchasing a different monitor to replace this one.
Yucky Moniter... Great idea but doesn't work December 4, 2008
I bought this for my son two years ago because it shows the sounds on the monitor. For this, it's great; it means I can do a louder activity without worrying if I'm missing something. The nightlight feature is cute, too.
BUT most of the time, the static is so loud it doesn't pick up his murmurs or even screams! Nonetheless, we used it somewhat successfully these last two years, except I always hated how it takes the thing about twenty seconds to even pick up the signal, scritch-scratching away as my kiddo stirred nearby.
But recently when it became so staticky it became useless to us... but more importantly it QUIT WORKING! My son woke up crying two times this week and I didn't notice until I could hear faint wailing through the walls-- sure enough, the monitor was clueless, with its volume on high! Also, it has always sucked batteries dry the moment we put them in the handset; which meant the darned thing was not really "mobile" with me as I did my chores since I always had to plug it in. If it had a rechargeable dock, that would be the perfect solution.
Bottom line: incredibly staticky, sometimes doesn't pick up signal when you're depending on it, eats batteries. But great features.. if they worked.
 False sense of security September 5, 2008
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.
 Definitely must have!!!! September 1, 2008
I absolutely love this monitor. I don't know what everyone else is referring to about the static, I haven't had a problem with it. The monitor is so sensitive that I have it in my room with my new baby, but it'll pick up my two year old son in his room across the hall. I keep the other end in my kitchen, across the house--the only place I can't hear the kids if they're both asleep. I've never had a problem with static and I can hear my newborn breathing through the monitor. I'm going to buy one for my friend, who is having another baby soon, and her present monitor is awful. I would buy this for anyone I know is having a baby, especially nervous mommies like myself who constantly check to see if the baby is breathing.
Lots of excess noise then totally quit August 7, 2008
This was a great monitor for the first 4-6 months, which is very soothing to a first time mom. But then we started picking up our neighbor's AM gospel channel each evening. We had dual recievers and the first one totally quit working after 9 months. Then we had to take the other one from the bedroom to the living room and eventually the plug wore out after a couple more months. Now it is not even working with the batteries. They last about 1 minute when you turn it on, then it just fades out!? I was hoping this one would last through at least 2 children, but it didn't even make it 15 months.
