Description: Video baby monitor to check on your child while they sleep or play in the play pen. This traditional Motorola middle of the range video baby monitor offers great picture from a quality 2.4” two way communication colour screen and a digital pan, tilt and zoom feature, amongst other features such as infrared night vision.
Score: 86.9%
What the testers said: “It was very easy to set up and we had no problems using it straight away. The camera quality isn’t as high as we have seen on some others but they are far more expensive. I love the scan feature as my daughter moves around in the cot quite a lot now. The communication feature is very clear, however for safety, we placed the camera quite far away from the cot so the image wasn’t as clear as we would have liked. Overall we would recommend this product as a middle range monitor.”

What the testers said: “I was pleasantly surprised at how useful and easy to use the product was. I like the idea but would prefer the visor part to be bigger – I had to adjust it several times while we were out to ensure it shaded the baby. ”

What the testers said: “This product was brilliant for taking out and about and great for when we visited relatives – much easier than a high chair for this purpose. It was easy to use and very easy to store and transport around as it is very light to carry. I liked the design of the fabric on this one and it was quite unisex so could be used for a girl or boy and was nice and bright. You can wash the product easily and the storage back is great. ”
