Tomy Walkabout Classic

When I was a baby my parents didn't have a baby monitor, they just had sharp ears! It's amazing how you can pick up the slightest sound from your child and differentiate it from other babies sounds, even when they are all in the same room. I swear I can hear Leah make any noise at all when I am out in the garden even WITHOUT a baby monitor! However, it was one of those must-have gadgets that we chose before she was born, because at that time I had no idea I would get radar ears. There are some very fancy and sophisticated monitors on the market now, including those with temperature gauges and even cameras so you can actually watch your baby as well as listen ...  Read the complete review

I decided on this monitor, not because it was the cheapest on the market, because at between thirty and forty pounds its not. But because Tomy are a brand that I trust and associate with good quality products. I must say that other monitors are available on the market and cost a lot more, as this does the job very well I cannot see the point of spending more for the same job. The Tomy Walkabout Classic seemed the answer to my prayers, as when my baby was sleeping I would not be tied to one room waiting for the monitor to sound. Setting the monitors up is so easy, simply place the baby monitor in the room where the baby will be sleeping. Although they do ...  Read the complete review

We bought this monitor second hand from ebay before our daughter was born, it was just one of those things on the list that we needed to get. The reason we decided on this one was because it seemed simple, no complicated functions, just plug in at the mains and away you go. We also knew a lot of people who had them, and it seemed quite a popular monitor. We never even thought to ask them if it worked ok... It's been an 'ok' monitor but it's not one that I would recommend to others. Good points: The lights across the top. They spring into action when your baby cries and if it's a particularly loud cry, the lights spread ...  Read the complete review

I bought these when my son was a few weeks old from boots for £25. I only used them twice as I far prefered to keep him in the same room as myself. Being a first time mum I was petrified, and constantly found myself checking on him if he hadn't cried in fear that he'd stopped breathing. When he turned 15 months i decided that it was about time the little tyke slept in his own room. I used the monitors every night without no hassle but after a week and a half I switched on the parent unit only to hear hissing. The hissing was loud even with the monitor turned right down. I could only hear my son when he cried loudly, which was a far cry from being able to hear ...  Read the complete review

This monitor cost us £39.99 from babies r us! After buying a video monitor for £100 that broke after 2 days of use, we felt £39.99 for a plain audio monitor was good value. The monitor is good for when you baby is sleeping in the next room but hanging out washing can prove a problem.This usually depends on what mood the monitor is as sometimes it is crystal clear! But for 40 quid odd you can't complain! There is a channel selector on the monitors but this isn't much help really. One of the top features of the monitors is the sound activated lights. If you are in a noisy room then the monitor tells you if the baby is making loud noise (usually ...  Read the complete review
