RE: Best Monitor????
There's no such thing, I'm afraid. The best monitor is the one that works for you, in your house. In have had *ahem* several. I would wait until you move and get one then, in case you need to return it and try another one.
Just for example, while the Sony BabyCall works for many people, it was BY FAR the worst monitor we tried in our house.
We also have and like:
Philips InTouch Monitor
FisherPrice 900 megahertz vibrating monitor (they have changed the name of this model so many times I can't keep track)
We also have and don't like:
The First Years Crisp&Clear 900 megahertz
(We actually use this one when we travel, since both the parent unit and the nursery unit can be used on battery power, and both units are fairly compact.)
