Fisher Price Baby Monitor Review

We received the Fisher Price Baby Monitor as a gift. It was not what we really wanted but we kept it since we could not return it to the store. It has been a big disappointment. If it is used in the house there aren't too many problems. But to try and take it outside it loses reception very easily and I spent quite a bit of time running back and forth trying to make sure I am not missing something. It is supposed to recharge itself while it is plugged in which it does but as soon as you unplugg the unit it goes dead in about 20 minutes. I am constantly changing the channels so I don't pick up all the truck drivers going down the road near our house. Quite frenquently I am awakened to hear nothing but static. I feel like it is more of a hassel than it is worth because it does not perform as advertised. Also when you need to switch channels you have to do it on all three peices, they dont automatically pick it up after you change it on the base unit.  The night light is handy though.
