In the past, baby monitors were a mess of wires and parents could only stray so far. Setting them up for the evening could be an adventure in itself. Yet some parents liked this type of baby monitor system because they felt it was reliable: they knew where the receivers were at all times and they knew how far they could go to keep in touch. The modern wireless baby monitor solves both of these problems by having a "Page" function that allows you to find misplaced receivers, and by sounding an audible alarm or flashing lights when you begin to get out-of-range. In some cases, wireless digital baby monitors can interfere with cordless phones and other wireless equipment, so it's important that you shop around for a quality system.

The Graco Ultra Clear II is a wireless baby monitor well worth considering. The product has received positive reviews for its excellent reception and sound quality.

Graco included features such as night-light and sound indicator lights. The light alert allows you to so simply see when your baby is crying, rather than be startled by the sudden, shrill shrieks.

The system comes with two two unit monitors, which is a nice extra. In consumer baby monitor reviews, many parents give the UltraClear II 5/5 stars.

However, like many other monitors, interference can be a problem in busier areas, so you might want to upgrade to the iMonitor system, also from Graco, which offers even better clarity.

On the high-end, Philips baby monitors like the SCD 589 DECT Digital are guaranteed to have no interference from other electronic devices. With 60 different channels, compared to competitors' two, the DECT baby monitor automatically switches to clear, unused channels. Many parents also like the intercom function, which allows them the ability to communicate with the baby through their handheld receiver. They can also remotely check the temperature and humidity of the baby's room, cue up lullabies and turn on a night-light. Some complaints have been that the battery life doesn't perform as advertised, that the volume doesn't pick up baby talk as well as it picks up full-blown screaming and that it's expensive. Prices for this wireless baby monitor run from $100 at Amazon to $200 in stores.

The wireless baby monitor is practical for many parents who want a little bit of freedom and mobility around the house, while the baby sleeps. Many buyers are first-time parents who are prone to worrying about meeting their baby's needs or parents of a premature infant who worry that their baby may fall ill. The baby monitor system is, of course, no substitute for actual parenting, but it's a nice comfort when it's sleep-time for the baby.
