Manufacturer's Description

For the mum who wants to stay in touch with baby, this monitor's clear view light display lets you not only hear, but actually see the different levels of baby's activity. The bright arcs of light increase with the sounds baby makes meaning you can see baby's call clearer than ever and from a greater distance. Durable, flexible antennas allow for greater range and excellent clarity. Two channels minimise interference and the receiver is AC-powered or battery-powered for portability.

If you're away from baby (baby's sleeping and you're cooking, or baby is content in a playpen and you need to do five minutes of housework) a monitor can help you keep a track on how your child is doing. The primary use of a monitor is if your baby sleeps away from you and the baby's room is a distance from yours, you are able to hear when baby calls for you. Try one that works with both sounds and lights. That way, you can also see the lights blinking when baby wakes and calls for you, and this Fisher-Price Sounds 'n Lights monitor has just this.

Other features include a built-in night light, volume control, 2 channels to minimise interference, a low battery indicator and a handy belt-clip on the receiver for when taking with you around the house or garden. The transmitter is mains operated while the receiver is battery operated for roaming use, but can also be mains operated for when you're not on the move. Requires 3x AA batteries (not included).

Customer Reviews

Plasticky and proud. It does the job - no need to pay more!!
I've never written a review before, but after reading the other review I thought I ought to tip the balance in favour of the FP Sounds and Lights monitor.
My son is currently 13 months old and we were given this monitor by a family friend who no longer needed it when bubba was around 1 month and it does just what we need it to do.
We can hear our sons cries, his chatter when he wakes and when he turns in his sleep. The clarity is not so brilliant that we can hear his breathing but if I was going to concentrate on that then I may as well be in the room with him!! I usually leave it in the lounge and just turn the volume up if I am in the kitchen (which is next door) and can hear him fine if he needs me.
The nightlight is really useful when I go to check on him before going to bed. It isn't terribly bright but I wouldn't want it to be. It was fine when he was much smaller and having his night feeds and needed a nappy change (I've NEVER been able to change a nappy in the pitch black!) and I'm sure that he finds the orange glow reassuring if he wakes up.
The reception is every so often fuzzy but it is always when the weather is particulary bad, but we tend to leave it in the same place downstairs plugged into the mains (saves paying for and replacing batteries!) with no problems. We have used it a various friends houses and it has worked fine.
We found it so good that we purchased a second one for the grandparents house from Boots for £20 and I must confess that they did get some static when they had it too near to other electrical things, but they have now worked out the best places in every room to put it and think it's great. Both sets of grandparents have said that they never had monitors we we were all young so they don't quite understand why anyone would spend more than this on one.
If you are currently looking at monitors and are not bothered by how stylish they look (I think my hubby is still hoping for the day that Apple bring out some type of ipod monitor!) or the fact that it doesn't have a video monitor, or two-way talking (never quite understood either of these features - they are NOT essential!!) and just want something to assure you and put your mind at ease, then I highly recommend this product.
I hope that this has helped, especially first time mums - it is so confusing!!

Fisher price Sounds and Lights Monitior - a happy customer.
We have been using this monitor with our 1st baby and are really pleased with it. If like us you don't want to spend a small fortune and just want a basic baby monitor this is perfect. The reception is clear & picks up every sound your baby makes. It's not the most attractive of baby monitors and the night light is pretty pathetic but it does the job well. If you live in a two story house i would recommend getting two receivers so you can have one in your bedroom and one downstairs, it just saves plugging and unplugging it all the time - silly thing but with a baby it's worth doing anything to make life simpler!

Great value for money
I bought this so that I would hear the doorbell in my home office when all the doors in between are closed to keep the heat in.
It does exactly what I need and the sound is nice and clear. Can't go wrong for the money.

I had expensive Tomy baby monitors when my kids were small, and for more than three times the cost I can't say that the build quality was much better really. (They did have room temperature indicators though).
