Do I need a video monitor?

We did not purchase a video monitor with DD, we just used a regular. Should I stick with the regular monitor for the twins?  Or spring for the video? I know some people really love their video monitors....thoughts?

We've survived so far with out one.  I guess it is up to you.  I have heard of signals getting crossed with them and people seeing into their neighbors nursery.

Yikes. That's all I need is for signals to be crossed. Maybe we'll just stick with a regular monitor. We hardly used it with DD, since her room was so close. It's mostly for when I am downstairs during naps etc.

We got one. I always wanted one when we had DD but never got one, so we went ahead and got one this time. I could be wrong but I believe if it is digital than you don't have to worry about signals being crossed, we purchased a digital one.

I am so thankful I got the angelcare movement monitors- I am safety obsessive and these really allow me to get some sleep when they're sleeping...

We have the Angelcare Montitors.  And we also have the Summer Video handheld.  I like having both.  I don't always like to just rush into their room but like to see what is going on.

We don't have a video monitor and if I was going to do it again, I probably would have gotten one.  It wasn't something I wanted when they were little, but now they are older and *know* when you look in on them, it would be helpful to have one.  I would love having one to know if they are fussing for a reason or just trying to go to sleep.  Also, it would be cute to watch them play in the mornings. ;-)
