which baby monitor is good for a long distance? read more.?

Question

We've just moved into a mobile home, and its 80 ft long, my daughters bed room is on one end and ours is on the other. She is used to waking up walking to me and getting in our bed... but the way we are layed out in the house now, i dont even think i would hear her wake up...and not to mention thinking of her waking up and trying to maneuver through the house half asleep (shes 20 months old).

So i've decided the best bet would be putting a baby gate in her door way or maybe the end of the hall... and using a baby monitor to hear her....

Which monitors have you had a good experience with with a long distance range? thanks

Answer 1

Hi! I think the basic Fisher Price sound and lights will do fine. If you just want one monitor then it will cost only $20 at the local babiesrus or wal-mart. I have one and I use it upstars and down. We have a three level townhouse that is 1,300 sq ft and I take it with me when I go to the basement to do laundry or even when I go outside to tend the garden. It works good. I also would recommend using rechargeable AAA batteries because those things use up a lot of batteries quick if they are used on a daily basis. You can get them at any dept store and a battery charger. It's worth the money too.

I used just the plain old Fisher Price ones. I had crafts that I would work on out in our garage (Attached) and I would have the monitor in there with me in case my son woke up while I was out there.
