I have 2 kids, both under the age of 2 and I have video monitors on both of them. My daughter has the Safety First Monitor (...) and my son has the Summer Infant Monitor (...) and the Summer Infant monitor, by far, is much better than the Safety First Monitor. The picture is so much clearer and I get absolutely no outside interference. With the Safety First Monitor, my microwave, my cordless phone, and even my next door neighbors cordless phone often interfere's with the signal. Not to mention, we had to replace that monitor 4 times in the past 2 years because either the picture or the sound died. The Summer Infant Monitor has lasted us, so far, 7 months (my son's age) w/o a problem and w/ absolutely no interference. It's cheaper and a much better quality. The camera is easy to mount on a wall, and the monitor is lightweight w/ a very clear picture and great sound reception. Video monitors give me peace of mind, knowing that I could go anywhere in my house, or even outside and still be able to keep an eye on my kids while they're sleeping at night. I think they're a must for first time parents! You'll sleep better at night knowing that you can just roll over, glance at the monitor, and know that your child is ok, w/o having to get out of bed 10 times a night those first couple of weeks to check on them, or lay a hand on their little chests to make sure they're still breathing, when they're sleeping in their own rooms.

Had a safety 1st moinitor for three years until it accidently fell and broke, went shopping for new monitor and bought this model because of the cheaper price, and it is so much better than safety 1st. With the safety first model I was NEVER able to use the sound because of way too much static, but this model has EXCELLENT sound and picture. Thank you so much for the great product, and the cheaper price.

I bought this product, at the time my dgter was 4 mos and getting ready to transition her to big crib upstairs. I had the sound monitor, but being a first time mom, really didn't feel it was enough. So, I searched for a monitor like this, but had seen the prices...then this little reasonable item appeared. Fantastic. Easy to install and use. Picture crystal clear with little fuss, and the sound, well it picks up the small clock that ticks very quietly, across her bedroom. Easy to click screen on with its snooze like button. Aside from being able to monitor her movements, it is wonderful in helping you assess when one needs to actually go in and rescue the darlings from crying, etc. Which, with this product I don't have too very often (maybe 3 times, and now she is 6+months) because she may be crying, but I can now watch her and see her soothing her self, which I couldn't behind a closed door with a sound monitor only. Also, I quicky assessed her sleeping patterns, and movements, which helped me to change her bumpers, and blanket use, to match her style, avoiding SIDS risk factors and her frustruation level. So, this is wonderful,as it really has made transition to big crib easy (on her and us) and she is a great sleeper without me overacting. This is well worth the $$ and really does give you peace of mind, and I see it being a help in the years to come...

I had purchased another video monitor from Babies R Us but had a signal conflict with my 2.4 ghz phone system. I contacted Summer Infant proucts and they responded quickly letting me know that i would not have any problems with this system. Two unit s are very similar and seem, to work as well as each other. This unit does not get any interference from my phone system. For the price which is 1/3 less, this seems the way to go. We are very satisfied.

We went ahead and splurged on this monitor and it was worth every penny! My baby is 3 months old now and it has given us peace of mind since he was born. You can use the monitor with sound, or just use the sound without the monitor. At first, we slept with the monitor on (which is fairly bright!), but after a couple of days, we turned the monitor off at night and just slept with the sound on. This way, when we heard the baby crying or stirring, you could turn the monitor on and see what he was up to without getting out of bed. We were amazed at how clear the picture was, both with normal lighting and at night with infrared.

It's also light and easy to move, so when we changed rooms, the monitor came with us. We have not encountered much static and the sound is very clear. One time, I was even able to detect and correct a toilet running in the bathroom next to the baby's room!

I would definetly recommend this monitor, especially to first time parents who want peace of mind!

Camera is 40 feet away from the monitor and the picture and sounds are clear. The product was completely plug and play. Our camera is located approx. 3 feet above the crib and I can see his entire body as well as am able to listen to his breathing, although there is more background noise than my Fisher Price sound monitor.

It would be nice if the picture had a little more detail, but for the cost it is hard to argue this point.

It may help that my cordless phones are on 2.4ghz instead of 900mhz, this maybe one of the reasons others have had poor reception.

I recommend the product as this has allowed my wife and I a greater level of comfort since we moved our baby into his room. Sound monitors alone are great, but now when my son makes an odd noise, we can just look over and see that he is fine and there is no need to go running down the hall to verify.

I've been looking for the best monitor out there for me and the Summer monitor is the one. This is a much better monitor than the Safety 1st and it's alot cheaper! I had to return the Safety 1st monitor since it didn't work out for me. There is too much interference!

However, this Summer monitor really works for me. I have three 900MHZ phones, three computers, and alot of other stuff going on in my house and the picture is very clear most of the time. Of course, I do get interference only when I use the phone right next to the monitor (because of the similar frequency) but once I move the phone further away, the picture is clear again. Just imagine how perfect it would be if I upgrade my phone (it's time that I do).

The only negative thing is that the picture does get a little less clear at night but this is not a big problem. The picture still looks good and most monitors get less clearer at night. I live in a two-story house and I can still see my daughter downstairs when I'm cooking. I can hear her really good too, over all the other noises around her.

Overall, this is a great monitor and I am very satisfied with its performance. The picture is clear most of the time anywhere in my house. If I didn't have the 900MHZ phones, the clarity will be perfect. All I know if that the Safety 1st monitor should've been better for me because of the higher frequency but it wasn't. This Summer monitor is alot better even with the similar frequency of the phones I have. That just says how great this monitor is-BETTER & CHEAPER TOO!

I PURCHASED THIS PRODUCT WHEN MY BABY WAS 10 MONTHS OLD.I FELT THAT THE VOICE ACTIVATED WAS GOOD ENOUGH. BOY,DO I REGRET NOT BUYING THIS PRODUCT SOONER.AFTER MY BABY HAVING A FEBRILE SEIZURE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I FEEL SO MUCH SAFER KNOWING THAT I CAN WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND TAKE A PEEK AT THE MONITOR AND SEE HER SO CLEARLY. THIS MONITOR DOES NOT HAVE THE T.V. OPTION LIKE THE SAFETY 1ST ONE. BUT, DOES HAVE AN OPTION FOR THE VOICE MONITOR OR T.V. MONITOR. I HAVE A 2 STORY HOME AND HAVE GREAT RECEPTION INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF MY HOME. I WOULD REALLY STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE. I WOULD HAVE HER SLEEP WITH US BUT, SHE SLEEPS LIKE A CLOCK AND THIS IS THE NEXT BEST THING I FEEL!!!

I can honestly say this is so far the best video monitor out there. I tried the safety 1st monitor which is more expensive and had no luck. I could not get a clear picture. I tried exchanging it for another one and still the had the same problem...to much static! Well I decided to try out this new product and absolutely love it. It has no interference I get a clear picture and best of it all is I don't hear any static. Its very quiet! Another great thing about it, is the the way you turn on and off the video screen while its still on...its like a snooze button. ITS JUST GREAT! I see my baby at all times and any little noise lets me hear and see it. Another good thing is the way the camera comes, you can place it anywhere! I am sure if you get this product you will love it and its so much cheaper.

This is by far the best purchase I have made for my baby. I thought I was being frivolus at first because of the cost, but it was well worth the money. It has saved my piece of mind knowing I can click a button and see right into my son's crib. The camera is very easy to mount, and works very well in complete darkness. I can see my son's face very clearly and tell if his eyes are open, it's like he is right next to me. The best feature is that it works like a regular monitor and you have the option of turning the video screen on and off so you don't have the brightness of the screen bothering you while you sleep. This product will help a great deal when my son starts trying to get out of the crib - I can catch him in the act without being in the room! From now on I will buy this product for every baby shower I go to! (I'll just have someone go in on it with me.)
