When it comes to baby monitors, does price make a difference in quality?
In fact, sometimes the simple $20 baby monitors actually work better than the expensive variety. People find that some of the pricier monitors share the same frequency as their wifi, or the local cell phone towers, so they get a lot of interference. Some of the newer digital monitors eliminate interference, but these are also more expensive than your basic monitors. And today, many people are buying video monitors for the nursery — these are really hot sellers. I think for most people, an audio baby monitor is just fine; a video monitor may be overkill. But it’s a matter of individual taste. My general advice is to purchase your baby monitor from a store that allows returns because it may take a few tries to find one that you like and that works in your particular household.
