This monitor is more expensive than most, but does have more functions, so you need to decide if these extras are worthwhile investing in. The last feed timer helps you, by using its integrated timer, to remember when your baby’s last feed was. All you need to do is press the button when you feed your baby. When your baby wakes up, you can check the time of the last feed to work out if it is time for his next one or not. The display of moving lights that shows you your baby’s sounds, even when you have the volume turned down, is pretty useful if you need a bit of quiet.

Once charged, there is a special take out unit, a bit like an egg, which is attached to the parent unit that you can carry with you for extra portability. This means that if you need to go into the garden or you need more mobility than the fixed parent unit can provide, you will be catered for, this unit fits into the belt clip provided. If you are in noisy surroundings, you can set the vibrate mode, which means you will be alerted should your baby awaken with the vibrations. In addition, there is a night light and temperature display that add to the efficacy of the monitor. A bit on the expensive side perhaps, but could be worth it for the extra features.
