Before buying this monitor I did a fair bit of research to check that the high price was justified. After using the BT 150 for a few days both me and the wife (and newborn baby!) are impressed & give it 5 stars. It's well built, looks decent, has great sound quality and has a bunch of features not found on other models (e.g. Aux input for MP3 players).

The talk-back feature is especially useful if my wife is doing the feeding upstairs and I want to ask her whether she'd like a cup of tea from the living room.

Audio doesn't seem to get any interference from the wifi point, nor from the wireless DECT phone.. and I don't think it's producing interference either.

The nightlight is a little weak; I'd prefer ... Read More:

I first became aware of this complete unit 7 years ago when my son was born 3 months premature. I was living in America at the time and he received the best of care but was inevitably put on several monitors in the intensive care unit. He suffered many episodes of Apnea whilst in the baby unit which scared the living daylights out of me. Like most parents of preemies, I was extremely worried about how I would cope once he got home, with not having the monitors to rely on. After searching the internet, I found this unit and bought it immediately. At that time, it was well over £100.

Unfortunately, my son developed Cerebral Palsy and has no speach. He is quaridplegic too. Without this unit, I would never have slept for fear of every ... Read More:

We bought this baby monitor after being guided by the other reviews on Amazon. I'm pleased to report that we've been equally impressed!

I won't go into tons of detail - other than to say it does everything that you would need for a newborn, plus more. Don't worry about the more expensive 150 model - the extra gadgets are overkill. The 100 does everything you need, plus a few extra bits that you might never use (the tunes it plays are a nice touch - but never used in our house).

And, we live right under the Heathrow flight path and never had a single bit of interference!

Spend your money with confidence.

Strengths:
- Very lightweight
- Cute music
- Cute pictures from the light show

Weaknesses:
- Can easily be pulled down by baby using its fingers
- Pictures are on a rotating disc, so may become boring after a while.
- Once the baby sits up in the crib, this can be hazardous if it't attached to the side, because the light has a warning not to let eyes come in the way of the rays.
- Probably useless after the child is four months old, if not before.

A better buy, in my opinion, would be the mobiles from Tiny Love that have farm or zoo animals. These are well-designed, durable, and can be used well into the toddler years (without the mobile part). My 1.5 year old still enjoys ... Read More:

7.Pink Angelsounds Fetal Doppler from: Jumper
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

 : Pink Angelsounds Fetal Doppler


After a miscarriage last year, my wife's pregnancy this year has been one full of worry...

In between scans and checkups all we seem to do is hope and prey everything is going OK. However, with this, we don't need to wait. Anytime either of us starts to worry, we stick this on to hear baby's heartbeat!

The quality of the sound is so much better than I had expected considering the price and would even go as far to say it's just as clear as when you go to see the Midwife.

I would highly recommend this product to any expectant parents - well worth the money!!!

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

It sounds great on paper - soothes your baby to sleep and should they awaken during the night, it is sound-activated and should soothe them back to sleep. But as the other reviewers have said, this was far too loud and the slightest noise reactivated it - it woke the baby up and us in the next room! Aside from this the projected image is unclear (had no idea what it was meant to be) Looking at the box gives you the false impression that all sorts of wonderful images are projected round the room...

Do yourselves a favour and buy the Tomy Starlight Dreamshow, we've been using it 6 months now and it still brings a smile to our babies face when we switch it on for bedtime.

I don't understand how Tomy got it so wrong with this one.
