Question by 128333: What are you’re opinions on the color video baby monitors?
My aunt asked for a new baby minitor in her baby gift registry and I was thinking of getting her the Handheld Color Video Monitor from Target. Its $ 199.00 and I want it to be worth the money. Is it worth it? Anyone like it/dislike it? Please give me your opinions. I think it is really neat that you can see the baby and everything, but is it too good to be true?

I think those are completely useless, video monitors in general. All you need is a regular monitor, and if you are worried about SID or anything like that, forget a video one because that will not do you any good while you are sleeping! Invest all that money you would spend and get a baby motion monitor instead, which alarms if the baby stops moving. In my opinion, that is money much much more smartly invested! A video monitor can not possibly save your babies life, but a motion monitor just might! I know I sleep much better at night with one..

I bought one of these “used” on ebay.com when my girls were infants, worked wonders cause you dont have to go in the room or anything to bother them. It is very cool! Well worth the money new or used!!!
I disagree with the above answer. We actually have a video monitor for our 6 month old son, and it’s great! With regualr monitors, all you hear is the sound. You cant always tel whats going on just by the sound you hear. With the video monitor, you can hear the sound, and see what is going on as well. Sometimes, with just a regualr monitor, you will hear somthing strange, and run in to check it out, and it really be nothing. We had many false alarms becasue sound alone doesnt answer concerns.
The video on the monitor is actually pretty clear. On some, you can actually record on it too, incase you want to use it as a security camera!
