The video baby monitor that just may turn you into a video baby monitor fan.
In my now six year tenure as a parent, I've learned you should never say never. Because there's a good chance, especially if you have more than one kid, that your never will come back to bite you in the butt.

So while I can say with confidence that I will never purchase a wipes warmer, since using the new Philips Avent digital video baby monitor, I'm now eating a few of my words about video baby monitors.


To be fair, this cool monitor is much different than some of the heftier models I've seen (and admittedly, joked about), thanks to awesome technology and convenient portability. So instead of being stuck staring at a big blurry screen in one room of your house, you just plug the sleek camera near your baby's crib, then take the super clear digital screen with you wherever you go.

It features both day and night vision, along with a music button that allows you to pop on a few tunes (albeit electronic-sounding ones that you may not love) for your restless kiddo.

As someone with children who will often cry for a few minutes or rustle around for upwards of a half-hour before going back to sleep, having the video monitor has saved me from that stress of wondering whether I should go in -- and then doing so only to wake them up.

Hands down, Philips' handy new video baby monitor is well worth the price. And the humble pie I'm eating. -Kristen

Purchase the new Philips AVENT digital video baby monitor at our affiliate Amazon.com.And thanks to Phillips for providing a review sample. I'm parting with it...never.
