So we need to finally get a monitor (we've been using the intercom system in our house as a monitor) to take to grandparents' & friends' houses, & I'm wondering what I should do. The people I've heard from who have a video monitor really like it, & say that you can get even more use out of it when DC are toddlers & up to keep them from climbing out of the crib, etc. I've heard good things about the Summer hand-held ones, but they're all around $150-$200, & I'm not sure how much is reasonable to spend on one (or which brand is equally good). Otherwise I could get a cheaper one (Sony Babycall or something similar) just to have a portable one, & my husband said that we could set up a webcam here & watch DD from our computers. He also travels a bit for work, & he could see her & communicate with her from out of town that way.
I'm very confused with all the options & want to make a wise decision; not go overboard, but also have something high quality that will last a long time (this is our first kid).
I'd like to order/buy something in the next couple of days, as we'll need it when traveling to a friend's cottage next week.
WWYD?:)
Thanks for your help!
