It’s one of the paradoxes of parenting young children. No matter how exhausted you are and how much you look forward to nap time or bedtime, once they’re sleeping, you often miss your baby or toddler and want to see their sweet little face again. Thank goodness for baby monitors.
Baby monitors have evolved since the walkie-talkie-style devices our own parents used for us. These days, baby monitors give you HD-quality video and allow you to play music, have conversations with your baby, and check the room temperature. Some even let you log data on whether your baby slept through the night. Have multiple kids? Many have options to become split screens. And if all that sounds like a nightmare, there are more basic baby monitors, too.
Since baby monitors aren’t one size fits all and different families have different preferences and needs, we gathered 10 of the best baby monitors on the market – backed up by rave reviews from real parents – to give you a head start on your search.
