Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
This monitor is fantastic! After making the extremely hard decision to move our three month old to his own room, all i can say is that this monitor has been a god send!

Yes we're first time parents, and so at first you are stuck with the question of do you buy a monitor with night vision, with plates that you can monitor your babies breathing, or do you relax and listen to your friends that the more your monitor has the more you will worry! Well we listened to them all and opted for the Platinum!

Yes it monitors the temperature, but this is good for knowing exactly what to put your baby in to sleep -- will they be too hot too cold -- with this you know, it also has a light display which shows if your baby is crying, a vibration alert, and also you can choose to turn the volume up and listen to your babies every move. It really is great, we can hear our little fella sleeping from the comfort of our own bed!

The monitor also has a nightlight, a feeding/sleeping/changing timer -- which can be useful. It has a very cool function of talkback, so you can speak to your baby through the monitor -- a little freaky for a young baby but extremely good fun for scaring/freaking partners, friends and relatives!

All in all, this monitor is great, it really does mean you can have a good nights sleep! A yummy first time mummy--Amazon.co.uk

- Worked ok initially and then faded...
I bought this monitor 5 months ago and initially it worked ok. The reception had a slight buzz but it did pretty well. The intercom feature is nice at it allows you to comfort your child when you are on your way. I also liked the feeding timer as it helped in the early days when time was hard to manage. In addition I enjoyed being able to monitor my babies room by the temperature indicator on the screen. I agree with everyone that the battery life is horrible and you're constantly having to tote the charger around.

Over the past 2 weeks the device has completely stopped working. Initially it was showing LED lights as if the baby was crying (and she wasnt). All of a sudden it started to give off a loud very annoying crackling ... Read More:

- OK but some flaws
Pros:
+Locks signal quickly
+Thermometer is useful and reasonbly accurate
+Digital so no interference (our Analog unit was abysmal)
+Good support from Tomy
+Useful to be able to communicate with Mum when she's feeding the sprog & I'm cooking dinner.
+Good sound.
Cons
-The style looks cute and chubby in the shop. But the ergonomics are rubbish. The buttons are way too easy to press. (Including the on button). The belt clip is useless.
-Replacement battery is 3 NiMH AAA cells in a custom pack&plug for an extortionate £13

- No, please don't buy it - let me save you from this awful product
I've had two of these and eventually saw sense and got another brand. This product is so poor it's prompted me to write my first review.

The plus points:
+ It's easy enough to use
+ Sound quality by dint of being digital is good (none of that hiss that you got with the older analogue units)
+ Temperature reading useful
+ Good control of volume level
(I'm starting to scrape the barrel, so...)

The negatives:
- The battery life is pathetically short and critically not long enough for an evening's monitoring, meaning that if you're staying away you need to set up the charger which is often a pain; the battery is the type from a home cordless phone so not easy to have another and keep it charged ...

- Good monitor, but not perfect.
This is a good monitor, the sound is great and there is no interference, but I agree with other peoples opinions about the battery life being low, and i've also had the same problem of the lights flickering on the parent unit when there is no actual sound. The night light is lovely but there should be a seperate button because you can turn the monitor off when trying to turn the night light on and vice versa. I also like that you can turn the night light on and off using the parent unit. The best feature is the room temperature display as its pretty accurate and provides peace of mind in my opinion. Overall this monitor has great sound and some nice features, but it could be improved.

Rating:

- Excellent product
We bought this monitor 5 months ago when our baby was born and we think it is excellent. It has a very clear sound, so clear I can even hear her breathing when she is in her cot! The battery lasts about 10 hours when not plugged in but this, I think, is more than enough.
The most useful function is the temperature display which is accurate and brilliant for working out what to put on your little one at bedtime.
A great buy!
