I posted something similar on 0-3. I was wondering if you girls could please tell me what monitor and/or carrier you use. Im going through the BRU site and trying to find a monitor and carrier and everything seems to have poor reviews. I dont want to spend $200 on a monitor if its a piece of junk. Help please! TIA!!

I love my Angelcare monitor.  We started with a video monitor but found it not necessary.

I've been through a few carriers-Snugli, Hotsling, Mai Tai, and a Beco Butterfly.  I would only recommend the Beco Butterfly out of those.

We have the Sony BabyCall monitor (just audio).  We haven't had a single issue with it.  It has great range and battery life.

For carriers - I loved the Moby Wrap for the first few months when DS just wanted to be held and snuggled all of the time.  It took a few tries to get the trick of putting it on but was so worth it and is very comfortable. Now, I use the Ergo and absolutely love it.  After trying several other carriers that hurt my back or shoulders, it is the only one I would recommend.  It goes up to 45 pounds and you can front, back or hip carry.

I love the Summer Infant Best View Handheld monitor.  Good picture, (color and b&w, pans and zooms too) good range (I had to water my neighbor's plants this summer when they were out of town while DS was napping and I could still see him fine from their yard.).. Battery is allright, I turn it off when he's not napping and I leave it plugged in on the nightstand overnight.

I don't have opinions about monitors. But I will second the previous recommendation of the Moby and then Ergo. Those are our favorites at different stages and have been favorites of many friends too.

We have the Graco monitor from BRU and I am getting a Ergo for Christmas - I have heard so many good reviews, so I am excited. My friend recommended both of them to me and loves them both.

We also have the Sony and love it.

For carriers, I used the Moby when DD was smaller, then the Beco Gemini.  I really like both.
