I’m ready to buy the best baby monitor and have no idea what my choices are for brands, and the functions that monitors do. I’ve never done any research on baby monitors before. I guess now as the time gets closer for us to have our baby, we’ll probably need to know more about them. We have to list what our concerns are, what we would like, and what we can live without. We also need to know how much they cost so we can decide what we can get for the amount of money we have to spend. We are planning to earmark about two hundred dollars for a baby monitor. I don’t know what we’ll get for that price but I hope it’s a decent amount of features, or at least a really good audio monitor. We’re living in a small apartment so distance isn’t going to be a problem, plus I’m a light sleeper. Although audio monitors are great to take places with you and the baby. The best baby monitor will be an audio monitor and whatever else we can afford.
