Fisher Price Sounds and Lights Monitor — 

I bought this monitor while pregnant with my third child, because I had always trusted Fisher Price products.  The first couple of months all went well, and everything worked outstandingly. They were fairly clear, and worked pretty well.

A couple of negatives: you can hear AM radio stations very low, but clearly! There are only 2 channels, and if your neighbors have one, you hear their conversations, vice-versa. Keep these AWAY from other electronic products (alarm clock, cell phone charging, tv's...) or you will get a tremendous amount of feedback.

 About 5 months into use, the receivers antenna started to go out. I had contacted the company, and ended up with a new receiver.  Again this one worked for a few months, and quit.   I have talked with one other mother who had used the same monitor, and she had basically the same result. 

I would not recommend this product to a friend, unless it is for short term (4 or less months), or they don't care to spend the $$ to replace it.

You would think something as important as a baby monitor would be better made! Welcome to Viewpoints. ;) Ron
