A baby monitor is an indispensable assistant for modern parents. With its help, you can safely go about your business without fear that the baby will wake up, and you will not have time to lull him before he gets scared and cries. And it's also a great device for monitoring the safety of the child.

The most popular devices in terms of price and quality ratio are produced by the company Avent. Philips sub-brand devices are distinguished by reliability and excellent communication range.

The second place in popularity is occupied by baby monitors from Russian manufacturers. Balio and MAMAN. They are more affordable than Avent appliances.Devices are produced at factories in China.

Motorola and Alcatel - brands that are constantly improving the models of their baby monitors. Yes, they are not as in demand as Philips Avent, but the demand for devices allows them to remain in 3rd place.

Recommendations for choosing a baby monitor

Buying a baby monitor or not is a personal choice for every parent. But in some situations, this type of technique becomes simply irreplaceable. Its choice must be approached wisely: not only by comparing prices and reviews, but also by deciding where you plan to use the device.

For a private house, the best option would be a digital model that can keep in touch at a distance of 50-200 m. In a 2-3 room apartment, an analog gadget with a coverage of 50-100 m is enough.

If your child likes to fall asleep on the balcony or veranda, then take a closer look at the battery-powered baby monitors. But indoors, you can use the device with mains power

Do not place the baby monitor very close to the baby. Most of the technology perfectly captures sounds, movements and at a distance from the child.
