2u2 Baby Monitors

punkin05 · February 2013

I've been doing a bunch of research on baby monitors since the one I currently am using for DS is about to crap out. Since this LO is due in August, I was hoping to get a monitor I could use for both kids in separate rooms. Are there any audio only options out there? Everything I'm finding that has dual room capability is a video monitor.

DS' room is at the opposite end of the house from our room, and he can still have problems during the night, so I don't feel comfortable getting rid of the monitor in his room when we move the new LO to their room.

I was hesitant because of the cost of the whole set up for 2 kids now, and I wasn't sure if I would be getting my money's worth for DS since he is older and sleeps really well for the most part.

We have the summer video monitor and its the best investment we made. I can't say enough good things about it. We will be purchasing the extra camera when have another one.

I just assumed there weren't any two room options for monitors, which I'm finding frustrating. So many of them have two parent units, which I don't really understand the need for. Our audio one is still in good shape, so we were thinking of just getting a cheap-o audio one for the new baby. They'll be in a crib in our room for the first year anyway, so it won't be for overnight just for naps and when we stay up later than baby.

Your post made me curious and I found this monitor option, but it's "currently unavailable". Sad

I can't believe how many monitors out there have 2 parent units! I also think its kind of unnecessary. I think I'll just end up getting 2 new audio monitors and I will just have both units set up in my bedroom. Maybe I need to invent a 2 baby: 1 parent unit!

Looks like it's available for $130 at the Graco online store for the US. Not the Canadian one, though. Sad I'm gonna keep looking, but I don't think I want to pay that much anyway since our current monitor works just fine.

For those with the summer infant video monitor, how do you do it overnight? Can't you only have it on one camera at a time and need to manually switch it? We have the summer infant and were thinking about just adding a camera, but I want a monitor that auto switches between the two cameras so I can keep tabs on both kids throughout the night.

We're moving the Angelcare Video monitor to DD#2's room and then using our audio monitor in Abby's room.
