3 tips for buying a baby monitor
For the best baby monitor, consider getting one with Wi-Fi. But there are other great options available that don't require internet connectivity.
When choosing a model, it's important to think about the layout of your home. Heavy stone walls block signals more than open plan areas with a lot of space.
If you want to keep a close eye on your baby, a baby monitor with a camera and a two-way audio system can be a great investment. Look for:
low-light performance. A monitor with advanced technology can provide a clear image even in a dark room.
moving camera. If your baby is an active sleeper, consider a monitor with a camera that moves to keep them in view.
dual camera. For parents with more than one child, a monitor with two cameras is the perfect solution.
Ensure your baby gets a good night's sleep by maintaining a comfortable temperature in their sleeping area. Overheating can be dangerous, and may increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. To keep your baby at the right temperature, consider using a device with an integrated thermometer to monitor their sleeping environment.
