Fisher Price Private Connection Monitor with Dual Recievers Review

Prior to the birth of our first son we searched for a baby monitor that would suit the needs of our household. The Fisher Price Private Connection Monitor had most of the features we were looking for, including dual monitors to keep in different rooms of the house or to keep with each parent. The cost was around $60.

The Private Connection Monitor has 10 channels which was also a must for our family because we were concerned that other baby monitors in the area would pick up reception from our monitor. With the 10 channel option you lesson the possibility of someone using the same channel with their own monitor.

The reception was also clear and distinct. We could hear our son breathing while using the monitor which helped put our mind at ease when he was a newborn.

The most convenient feature, I found, was the belt clip that allows to keep the monitor with you at all times and still remain hands free. This is essential for days I would be moving from room to room and needed my hands for carrying laundry or playing fetch with our dogs while the baby slept.

18 months later we still use the monitor every day. It has been durable, surviving several drops on cement, hardwood floors, ceramic tile and even being submerged in a swimming pool. When the monitor was dropped in the pool we quickly removed the back of the monitor, used a blow dryer to eliminate the water inside the unit and allowed it to sit in the sun for a few hours. It worked like the day we bought it. (Not that I would recommend dropping the monitor in the water- we were lucky).

The rechargeable battery pack allows for the monitor to attach to a wall charger and still function. This feature also saves on the cost of replacing batteries.

We have enjoyed the Fisher Price Private Connection Monitor and would recommend it to anyone who is in the market for a dual monitor system.
