J.,
I LOVE ours. It has 3 stations & 2 monitors. And whats great is the 2 monitors are also walkie talkies. So, my husband & I have one & if we ever need an extra pair of hands & cant step away, we just buzz the one with the other monitor. I have a base in the nursery, living room & one in my room (when he was in a bassinet). They are very sensitive, too.
They are a little expensive, about $130. They are a Safety 1st product from Babies R Us.
Hope that helps

J.,
I also LOVE our Safety 1st Home Connections monitor. It's the one with three child monitors and two parent monitors (with walkie talkie feature). I have one in my daughters room, one in my sons room and one in our playroom. It's not on the Babies R Us website but they do have it in the store. It's the only one that I found that has more than one child monitor.

We LOVE our Summer handheld color video monitor. It is pricey ($179), but SO worth it to be able to see our little guy in addition to hear him. I can even take the monitor (small and clips on my belt!) into the backyard with me.

I have a 3 month old and am so paranoid of SIDS. So we have the Angelcare monitor that has the clicking function. It clicks with her movement and breathing as she sleeps, so as long as I hear the clicking, I know she's breathing. We did have a few close calls when the monitor did go off, so it has literally been a life saver. The clicking was obnoxious in the beginning, but now I can appreciate that it's there. Of course you can always turn off the click function.

Here is the link to the monitor that we have:

It's a little expensive.....We got it at Costco.com for about $130 on sale. It has night vision so you can actually see the baby when it's pitch black dark outside. We really like it.

We haven't had a problem with our Fisher Price Lights & Sounds monitor. I was never able to find one with two bases and two receivers. We got one with dual receivers when our first was born and put a receiver in our bedroom and in the kitchen. We got a single receiver one when our second came along (our first was 2yrs old). We used the dual one for the baby and put the single in the 2 yr olds room, with the receiver in our bedroom, because the only time we really needed to be able to hear her was at night. She's so quiet that even when she cried it was difficult for us to hear her from our room.

On a side note, it turned out that the baby didn't need much monitoring. He was so loud we could hear him from any room in the house and he could easily wake us from a dead sleep :-)

In a previous request,

Crystal A had responded that she liked the Saftey 1st monitor. She said she can use it in up to 3 rooms. Sounds like that is what you are looking for.

Yes, like Jodi said, I like the Safety 1st monitor - I didn't want the movement/breathing sensors, that's just a personal preference. Here's a link to the one I have.

(This is an ebay auction - I couldn't find it on the Babies R Us website - but they have them in the store.)

Good luck! C.
