Philips Avent Digital Video Baby Monitor + #Giveaway

Disclosure: My friend Rita received the Philips Avent Digital Video Baby Monitor for review. All opinions are her own.

When we first had our son, we used a temporary monitor that only emitted sound, but constantly had interference and caused a loud buzzing sound randomly. When we switched over to the digital video monitor, it was wonderful not having to run into my son's room and check every peep. When this monitor broke and I had to revert back to the temporary monitor, I realized how dependent we were on a video monitor and even though he is older, I was extremely happy when I received the Philips AVENT Digital Video Monitor SCD603 to review. I figured this monitor would be similar to the one we previously had and liked, but I was wrong. The AVENT is far better!

First of all, it is an easy setup, which my husband loved. With its compact size it is extremely convenient to fit almost any table, but it is also wall mountable for those who don't have a platform to use near their baby's crib.

When I first saw the unit, I immediately liked the fun shape and color of the monitor. The circular baby monitor looks less like a web cam than other models and combined with the aqua trim casing of the parent unit it is a quick appeal upon opening.

The 2.4" high resolution color screen is very clear and gives a great view of the entire crib, making it very easy for me to see what he is doing especially now that he can sit up on his on and is beginning to climb things. The stand on the parent unit doubles as a belt clip so that I can carry the monitor anywhere I go in the house with a range of 150 meters. It's a great convenience to be able to run around the house and complete chores quickly during his nap without having to worry about hearing the monitor from another room. If the battery runs low when running around with it all day, the monitor provides a low power indication and alert. The parent unit is easily rechargeable with a standard cord, but comes with a backup battery function also.

The monitor features an infra-red night vision with clear visibility for me to see my son after I put him down at night. The self-activating screen and volume switches on when your baby starts crying, making it much easier to have a noise free sleeping environment with peace of mind knowing that you will hear and see your baby as soon as he's up. I love that I don't have to deal with any interference or noise in the middle of the night unless it's him. I can easily adjust the volume level and even put it on mute when needed.

The unit also features a soft night light to help calm your baby at night and with the easy to use buttons on the side of the parent unit, I'm able to turn on lullaby music. My son loves the music when he hears it and it comforts me to see him smile at the sounds.

I'm very happy with the Philips AVENT digital video monitor and highly recommend it to parents with a baby of any age. It's a great convenient way to check on your little one and give you peace of mind for the much needed rest you need.
