Fisher-Price Long Distance 900MHz Baby Monitor

Fisher-Price Long Distance 900MHz Baby Monitor Product Description:

The 900 MHz Long Distance Monitor is a great scaled down version of our Private Connection Monitor.
It has a small, edgy design, which makes the receiver very portable.
The transmitter features a night light which is perfect for babies nursery.

The Bad:

“I had high hopes for this monitor. We’ve been through 3 or 4 of them in the past 5 years. I like the range on this one. However, all I hear is static! We’ve tried everything but all we hear is alot of static and the sound the child makes is very hard to hear. When it’s cranked up as loud as it gets, it’s just loud static and baby crying sounds like a whisper. We’ve tried moving it around to avoid reception problems but no luck… doens’t matter where it is inside or outside the house. I really want to get a second First Years 900 Mhz one but they no longer make the model we have – it was the best” – D. Thomas

The Good:

“I’ve owned 3 baby monitors and hadn’t found one that even came close to the range it advertized. This one DOES! It’s clarity is excellent. It even picks up my office wall clock ticking sound. I haven’t had to replace batteries yet, and I’ve had it for two weeks, and use it 8 hours a day (minus weekends). And the nightlight feature is surprisingly useful. It has four channels but I have yet needed to switch from it’s default channel. I’m able to go 3 houses down the street, and still get great clarity.

I’m a sucker for good design (being an engineer myself), and I only have three minor criticisms. One is that battery installation requires a tool (small screw driver). The second is that the belt clip could be more secure…It’s a tad floppy wearing jeans. This third criticism isn’t a real criticism, but more of a ‘wish’…and that is, “I wish it had headset capability, so I could mow/weedwack/etc and still hear the monitor”. – Brian Batts
