Tomy Walkabout 2001

The trick with baby monitor is not to be obsessed about it. I mean it is very useful but can easily make your mind play tricks. Have you ever watched a classic sketch from Billy Connolly about baby monitors? No, well what a shame. Go and get it now and you will see what I mean when I say it is hilarious and make you think twice about those smart sound boxes. The first time I heard about it is when I met my partner who loves Billy Connolly and he introduced me to his jokes. Back then my English wasn't great at all (I am not saying it is brilliant today but it is sufficient enough) and I couldn't understand a word of what he was saying. I was too ashamed of ...  Read the complete review

New parents do you want freedom and security? Is this not having your cake and eating it too? As I sit here writing this opinion, little Archie lies asleep above me, I can hear his breathing, listen to his snorts and grunts and be happy. We are your usual paranoid parents and we need the reassurance that all is well with him. For seven months we have relied on the Tomy Walkabout 2001 as our peace of mind. The Tomy Walkabout is a radio transmitter-receiver that allows us to have time away from our sleeping child yet if he awakes and get distressed we can hear him. He gets reassured as we come to comfort him and we are reassured that we can hear him. Why ...  Read the complete review

I bought the TOMY WALKABOUT 2001 when our child was born. It's perfect for us , if out tot is asleep in her cot we can her if she is awake, coughing, or in distress. The set has two units, one which you put on the side of the baby's cot which picks up any sounds your baby makes.

It has 9 volume settings, which is good as we can have it on maximum and hear our tot turning over, snuffling and sighing in her sleep. The sounds are really ...  Read the complete review

We bought the Tomy Walkabout 2000 baby monitor set when our daughter was first born and we have used it every night (and daytimes) ever since. The parent device has a useful set of lights which range from green to red LED's, so you don't always have to have the sound on if baby is sleeping soundly. There is a variable sound dial on the side of the unit, so you can turn up the volume if required, and even a mute button if you just want to rely on the lights. The units do have quite a range - in the daytime, we sometimes take the monitor out in the garden whilst our daughter has a daytime nap, and she can still be heard very clearly. The monitors work on ...  Read the complete review

Having purchased the Walkabout 2001 from Argos for around £40 we were well happy with it. It had 2 settings on the side for different channels just in case someone close by had the same monitor! Well that was just fine, UNTIL, everryone in our street had babys. Just the other evening while watching Eastenders I heard someone whistling behind me! Thinking I was hearing things I ignored it until I heard them fart and start to use the toilet, well this was interesting, so I looked behind the sofa and low and behold it was just the baby monitor. After running upstairs to check who was using our toilet and finding nothing ,I came ...  Read the complete review
