Tomy Walkabout Classic Advance Monitor

Recently the video baby monitors that I had been given (second hand) gave up the ghost so I had to purchase a new set. I decided that I didn't need a video one again or one with any other fancy gimmick on it (one that plays a melody etc), I wanted a nice basic and reasonable cheap monitor just so I could hear when she wakes up in a morning etc. After looking online at the hundreds of monitors available (most of which are very expensive) I found the Tomy Walkabout Classic Advance and after reading a couple of reviews I decided that this one should do the job just fine. Whats in the Box? In the box you get a set of instructions whish tell you how ...  Read the complete review

Yet another 'necessity' for your new baby.....baby monitors. We actually didn't buy a monitor prior to the birth of our baby daughter. We knew that to start with she'd be sleeping in the same room as us, and during the day we'd probably never take our eyes off her, so there was no need! However, a few weeks down the line, I realised there were times I wanted to be in a different room to my daughter, but still able to hear her. There are a vast selection of monitors available, from the very basic to all-singing-all-dancing models. We decided we had no need for the breathing sensors, temperature monitors and other posh features. We just wanted a way ...  Read the complete review

At first we hadn't considered buying a baby monitor as we were in a flat and thought if we couldnt hear her crying in another room then we should be getting our hearing tested. However, soon after our daughter was born we decided that a baby monitor may not be the worst buy we make. She spent most of her time in the same room as us so we didn't worry to begin with but as time went on we wanted us time and not to have to worry about being sat in silence for fear we wouldn't hear our little girl. My husband also thought it was a good idea as he is a smoker and he has been told he must smoke outside from now on, having the baby monitor with him could help him not worry ...  Read the complete review

We bought this baby monitor when my son was born 2 and a half years ago. It seemed like a middle-of-the range monitor which would do the job it is supposed to do, without gimicks. I liked the monitor for the following reasons: 1) Other monitors I have used have had lullabies etc. on them, which have been more of a hindrance than a help to me as I would often end up pressing the 'lullaby' button by mistake on the parent unit, if trying to press another button, which would start the music up in the baby's room without me intending to. For this reason, for me, the fewer gimicks the better when it comes to baby monitors. 2) It didn't get ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this monitor just over one year ago shortly before my daughter was born. We wanted a good value monitor without all the gimmicks of many other monitors. Coverage We have had no problems with the monitor and have used if several times when we have stayed with friends and family. We often use if when we are in the garden and still no problems. The only negatives with this product are: * the leads are not very long and it can be difficult to find somewhere to plug the monitor in occasionally. However you can get round this if you put batteries in the monitors. I would not recommend using battery power all the time as ...  Read the complete review
