Archives at a mere 16mm depth, the Luvion Grand Elite has the
thinnest parent unit available today (making it

however, is the ability to input a Micro-SD card in to the Parent Unit, and record up to 16 hours of your
Identifying Baby Sleep Cues baby's finest moments on to one Micro-SD. While this feature may seem superfluous, would it not be
Infant Car Seat nice to have the option of capturing some of your baby's cutest moments?
When setting up the Baby Monitor for the first time, it is clear that the Luvion Grand Elite was designed
Powered by WP / designed by Online with plug-n-play in mind. The out of the box equipment included is at the optimum amount; all the wiring
Courses you could need, and none of the additional detritus that will end up cluttering up a drawer. Neatly
packaged in the box are the essential power leads for both Parent and Baby Unit, a convenient charger
dock for the Parent Unit (which doubles as a stand), the AV cable necessary for connection to a
television, a user manual, and thoughtfully, the screws that will be required if the user wishes to wall-
mount the Camera Unit in the baby's room.
From plugging in the Parent and Baby Units in their relative spots around the home; set up takes as
long as flipping a switch. The included Camera Unit is paired with the Parent Unit straight out of the box,
and takes a few seconds to achieve a connection, after which all functions are available. Adding extra
Camera Units The Luvion Grand Elite can receive signals from up to four at a time is a very quick
process, setting up the camera in the correct spot then selecting a menu option on the parent unit will
pair the two together quickly. When receiving more than one signal at a time, the Parent Unit can be set
to flip between the active cameras every few seconds, or can be manually switched between one
camera and the other.
Once your Grand Elite Monitor System is up and running, you will be pleasantly surprised at just how
excellent the reception quality is. Video Baby Monitors in the past have suffered from either a low quality
signal, or a low quality image from a poor screen size. Utilising encrypted digital technology for security
and quality, the Luvion Grand Elite provides almost HD quality images, and the crispest audio available
on a Digital Video Baby Monitor. In our tests, the baby unit was placed next to a radio in another part of
the building, and the parent unit on a desk. Once the connection was achieved, it would be completely
reasonable to believe that the radio was in our office, such is the quality of the transmission, and the
speaker installed in the Parent Unit.
Of course it would be impossible to discuss the performance of any Video Baby Monitor without testing it
in low-light conditions this is when Baby Monitors get the most use. The Luvion Grand Elite has an
impressive depth of field, and very little loss in quality when in strong darkness. It is worth noting for
parents new to video baby monitoring, night vision works entirely in black and white, often with a slightly

2. green tinge. The Luvion Grand Elite works as such, and really stands out in this area with its 5 metre
depth of vision, with competitors often struggling beyond 2 metres.
In conclusion, the Luvion Grand Elite Digital Video Baby Monitor is truly a revolutionary product in its field.
Drawing together the superior elements of other leading Baby Monitors, and combining them in a
beautifully styled and compact unit with excellent build quality, Luvion have produced an instant market-
leader. The Grand Elite has taken its place at the top of the food chain, and will become the measuring
stick against which all Video Baby Monitors must be compared.

What is the best baby monitor & bottle warmer?
Hi moms, just need your experience on this one. I read a lot of reviews for baby monitors,
but not so much for bottle warmers. There’s so much mixed reviews on both these items, I dont
know which to get.
Which baby monitors (video) & bottle warmers do you have and did you like it?
Thanks in advance!

We don’t use a monitor b/c our place is really small.
I have used a bottle warmer for about 5 months now – ever since it became clear my baby
would have to be a “formula baby.” I recently bought a new one, the First Years’ Night and
Day bottle warmer. This is really cool b/c it is a warmer with a cooler in the back. The back
part has an ice pack and you can put two bottles in the back part with the ice pack, and
bring the whole thing into the nursery or place it by your bed. It’s a little hard to explain,
here is a link:
http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2403657&CAWELAID=107509627
Anyway, with this warmer there is no longer a need to get up and go into the kitchen. I
really like it

I really like the fact that it lights up in response to noise… if I’m taking a shower and can’t
hear over the running water, I can peek out periodically to see whether my girls are
making noise.

That happens to be the monitor I have and I absolutely love it. I can see my
baby when she sleeps. It has saved me many trips to her room worrying if
something was wrong. She is now 13 months old. The best part is, I just had a second
baby 3 weeks ago and when I put her in her crib I wont have to buy another monitor. Just
another video that will hook up to the second channel on the actual monitor so all I have to
do is switch channels to see my girls sleeping. That’s the one I would have
recommended for you.

baby monitor help needed?
I purchased a baby monitor for $100 and I ended up having to take it back. It did not work
properly, static and buzzing noises.
Is there a place I can find a review of baby monitors before I purchase another one? What one do
you have (brand specific) and are you happy with it?
**My husband does not want one of the motion censors, and we were hoping to get one with two
handsets – although at this point we’d take one as long as it worked well.

What is the best video baby monitor out there?
I’m looking for a video monitor that can have several different cameras (need it to monitor
at least two rooms). I have read reviews on many, many brands and products but they are all so
contradictory. Any advice from someone who has one and either loves it or doesn’t like it would be
very helpful.
Can you be more specific….there are a lot of different Summer Infant video monitors. Why do you

the price says £33 which is ridiculous as we got ours for £20 so look around and you
should be able to find it cheaper.
with it you’re able to use batteries or plug it in. i like to keep one plugged in and one with
battaries in case i need to go out to the car, take a shower… the night lamp is also good.
all in all, it’s great for what you’re paying and we’ve had ours for 18 months, used daily,
and still functions fine.

Recommendation on a good video baby monitor…?
Have any parents out there found a really good video baby monitor? My husband and I are
just now TTC but I want to get as much info on good equipment now. I like the idea of a video
monitor so that we can make sure our baby doesn’t have anything blocking his/her airway. Any
reviews on monitors that you really love or really hate would be appreciated!

The Summer Night&Day is a pretty popluar one. it’s almost $200, but it has bad
reception. Ialso have a used Fisher Price Sound&Lights that I bought for $5 and
it works waaaaaaay better. I can actually go outside with it and I don’t get interference. The
Summer one gets interference almost everywhere in the house, and you can forget going
outside with it. The screen is nice, ad I can see a lot of detail, but unless I’m by the baby’s
room it’s so annoying. It also interferes with my cell phone (I think they all do), but this one
does it a lot, especially when I’m using the web. It also only has 2 channels whereas the
Fisher Price one has 10. It might be worth it for you to buy a Summer one used from
Craigslist or something, because I don’t think it’s worth $200

What baby monitor do you have? Are you happy with it?
This has been a toughie for me and hubby. The reviews on all baby monitors are very
mixed, and neither brand nor price really seem to have anything to do with whether or not people
like a monitor. Just wondering what you have and use, and maybe what you’ve used in the past.
What have your experiences been like with those brands?

We picked up a used ‘first years’ one at a garage sale…it works fine…but our

5. rooms are so close together at one end of the house, that we wind up just
turning it off.
My sister used an ‘Angelcare’ one…it works fine too…
They’re generally all pretty good…it just depends on whether you want ‘bells and
whistles’ with it or not.

I have a Tomy Walkabout Platinum Monitor. It cost me about £100 (18mths ago)
but is well worth it.
It’s digital so no interference;
Baby unit has built in nightlight which can be turned on / off with parent unit;
Talk-back feature so you can offer reassurance if you don’t want to go in to them (also v.
handy for requesting help from partner downstairs such as ‘bring me a bottle / calpol
etc’!)
Both units tell you the temperature in babies room;
You can record the time of last feed on parent unit so that you know when you last went in;
Vibrating option if you don’t want sound on and also noise activated lights so you can tell
at a glance if there’s any action!
The Tomy careline are also fantastic – I have had a couple of replacement bits and bobs
(my own fault as we didn’t pack it properly when travellng so it got damaged!) all free of
charge and sent out very quickly. They’re good with queries too!
I can’t comment on sensor pads but would say that maybe they would cause more panic
than they resolve, and what happens if the baby wriggles to other end of cot?
Hope this helps. Good luck!

I use Tomy walk about and it is great. I put my baby to bed during the day and

Based on your actual experience, what is the best baby video monitor for sale?
I’ve heard so many different, mixed reviews. I’m mostly concerned about them not

works well with a wireless network that doesn’t cost TONS of money, please pass on the info.

What do you mean working with wireless network? Most baby monitors are
wireless, but they don’t connect to a modem. Do you just mean without a cord
or actually hooked up to a computer? I have been using Summer Infant Hand Held Video
baby monitor for 6 month now and can’t complain. It sees at night and has color. The
monitor is hand held so you can carry it with you where you want to. At first the battery
would last 3-4 days now it lasts 2 days, then you have to recharge, but it can be on when
charging. I got mine on eBay at half the cost. If you still don’t have your baby and don’t
need one ASAP. Start looking for deals. I got ours 2 month before the baby was born but it
took me 4 weeks to get the deal I wanted.
I’m also using a wireless connection on my laptop and there is no interference with the
monitor, it’s working perfectly fine. Also it does NOT pick up cell phones, radios or other
babies.

* Features built-in night light and lullabies to soothe baby
* Digital wireless technology means no interference (90% ofbaby monitors uses MHZ

a few uses MHZ an eventually you monitor will stop working because it start getting the

Any suggestions for a decent one for under 100? The reviews I’ve read in the $50 range
haven’t been great but any suggestions would be helpful.
I was looking at just a traditional monitor. I would like to spend under $50. Its hard to go by alot of

I have the Graco Ultra Clear II Monitor with Nightlight. It was about $29 and I’ve
been using it for 10 months with minimal problems. It gets really good reviews
considering it’s priced so low. Once or twice I have gotten a little static sound from it but it
went away quickly and only came from the part I keep downstairs (basically the part that is
upstairs with the sleeping baby has never had that problem). I do a lot of product research
before I buy and it seems when it comes to non-video monitors even the pricey ones have
problems.
