I bought 2 sets of these monitors because I wanted one in my 2 year olds room-he just moved to a twin bed, and I wanted one in the babies room. I stupidly took them both out the box before the baby was born, I set them up-the one in my oldests room worked great for what I needed it for...for 2 weeks! Then it just stopped working-i thought it was just a fluke and at the point he was used to being in his big boy bed so I didnt bother getting another monitor-or using the other one. The other monitor had so much static i wanted to throw it out the window. I used it for 4 nights, then went and bought a sony baby call. The extra money is worth it. These monitors where terrible and i had to eat the money unfoutunitly for me. I should have read the reviews before I bought these
