Summer Infant Handheld Color Video Monitor Review

I purchased the Summer Infant Handheld Color Video Monitor when my son started climbing out of his crib. I had been hesitant to purchase a video monitor before this because the are so pricey and often get mixed reviews.  I went with this one based on the advice of a cousin who has owned it for 2 years.  I love being able to see what my boys are doing in their room without getting up.  The picture is quite clear although it takes some getting used to if you have never seen you kids with night vision before.  I love that the parent end can be plugged in on my nightstand or travel aroung the house with me.  I also like that you don't have to keep the viewing screen turned on all the time. I have noticed that the unit can get quite warm to the touch if you leave the screen on for hours at a time but I see no reason to leave it on while you are sleeping.  When I want to check on my kids, I turn the screen  on and then turn it right off.

The only issue that I have with the monitor is that my cordless phone can interfere with it.  This is an issue I can deal with.

Overall I highly recommend this monitor.
