Is there a good solution to having a monitor in 2 children's rooms?

We used a Sony monitor for our son when he was young & we really liked it (well, it did get some interference). Then when he switched to a toddler bed, we got a Summer video monitor (the portable one). We love it! It's so great to be able to SEE him! He's 3.5 and I still rely on being able to SEE that he's in bed, asleep, etc.

We are adopting twins who will come home at age 6 months (in a couple months). The babies will share a room -- 2 cribs. I guess there isn't really a way to have a video monitor for them, because we probably can't see them both at once? Is there any option for this? However, we plan to use crib tents -- so maybe we really couldn't see them anyway through the mesh.

Is there any sort of integrated system for 2 rooms? Or do I have to carry around 2 monitors? I'm not even sure if they'll interfere with each other or not....

thanks!!

I stopped using a monitor when my kids were around 2. I could usually hear them. So I would suggest getting the Summer Infant Video monitor with 2 cameras - you just put one camera on channel A and one on channel B and you should be able to switch between the two. We have that one w/ only one camera and if it's off or I switch to the other channel, I can see both of my neighbors' kids/cribs with it -- and she lives across the street!

I have been looking into the new digital Graco imonitor. It is not video, but all of the dual camera video ones that I can find will interfere with my wireless network in my house. So... I think I will try the Graco.
