Reviews of the Fisher-Price Private Connection analog baby monitor are a mix of high and average scores from both experts and owners. While the Private Connection receives a top rating from one expert source, another professional review says it isn't the equal of top-rated baby monitors such as the Philips SCD510 DECT Digital (*Est. $110) and the DECT digital Safety 1st High-Def Digital Monitor (*Est. $50), both of which are less susceptible to interference. If you just want a basic analog monitor, the Sony Baby Call NTM-910 (*Est. $40) gets even better ratings compared to the Fisher-Price monitor, and it costs a little less.
Consumer Reports and the book "Baby Bargains" both cover the Fisher-Price Private Connection baby Monitor in their comparison reviews. While "Baby Bargains" has a more in-depth discussion of Fisher-Price's monitor line-up, Consumer Reports has the advantage of basing its ratings on independent testing. We found the most user reviews for the Fisher-Price baby monitors at Amazon.com, which has excellent coverage of both the single and dual receiver versions.
