Update: You decided and video baby monitor is the winner!
As September is National Baby Safety month, we wanted to pose a question to new (or veteran) parents with little ones. When it comes to protecting your child, what are some of the things you use around your home? One popular item that dates back decades (maybe even more) is a baby monitor. Evolving with the times, today’s digital baby monitors have new features and benefits that help keep parents aware when they are away from their child. This brings us to this week’s This vs. That, are you old-school with audio baby monitors, or are you down with “new-age” amenities that include wireless capabilities (checking in on your baby via your cell phone or computer), video camera options and more?
There really is no wrong or right, but we are just curious as to what everyone is using in their nurseries. Here are two examples of digital baby monitors that have been popular among parents. Let us know which one you like more.
