Baby Monitor

Next item to start sourcing and buying for will be Baby Monitor. Our intention was to have Bobbie have a room of his own right from the start. This will train Bobbie to be independent and be comfortable in sleeping on his own. This will be very important if there is a baby sister or bother in the future. When that happens, he will not feel that Momi and Popi gave his place to the new baby and gave him a feeling that the new baby is to snatch his stuff.

Somehow from the start with colleagues recommendation and reviews, I am quite heading towards AVENT Baby monitors. The only problem now would be which would be a Model for me?

The first model that caught my eyes was the AVENT Digital Video Monitor SCD600/00. 

AVENT - SCD600/00

This is definitely the highest end model available with AVENT. It allows the parent to see and hear the baby therefore knowing what is the baby condition at any point of them. Good things usually comes with a price. This unit cost SGD$459.00 which is wat out of my budget.

Now it boils down to 2 models in my list. the AVENT SCD535/00 vs AVENT SCD505/01.

AVENT - SCD535/00

AVENT - SCD505/01

The AVENT SCD505/01 is the newest model in the AVENT list of baby monitors. Both the models are having very similar functions. What makes the AVENT - SCD535/00 stand out from the AVENT - SCD505/01 is the combined humidity and temperature sensor that allows you to monitor the climate in baby's room. Other functions like DECT, Eco and light to signal noise levels are built into both the models.

In the end, I chose the AVENT - SCD505/01 which cost SGD$159 vs the other at SGD$299. Saving the $140, I do not really need to know the humidity and temperature in the room. If necessary, the aircon will be controlling that pretty well. By dropping that function, I get something of equal quality and almost similar functions.
