baby monitors in terms of great value….
Monitor shopping can be a real doozy. First off, note that the perfect
one doesn’t exist. It just doesn’t. The good news, though, is that
they’re getting better by the minute, and today’s models have all sorts
of fun features and gadgets attached.
When looking for your
ideal pick, pay special attention to the range (how far you can take
the parent receiver from the monitor) and frequency (generally listed
in MHz or GHz). Frequency is key - it helps determine how clear your
connection will be. The best bet is to go for a product that runs on a
different radio frequency band than your other electric goodies,
especially your cordless phone. In other words, check the specs on your
phone’s base, and shy away from monitors that sport the same GHz.
