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...

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.

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
