The Fisher-Price Sounds ‘n Lights Monitor was once a well-regarded analog baby monitor, in part because of its level of performance for the price. However, reviewers say the Sound 'n Lights is no longer anything special, particularly when better-reviewed baby monitors cost the same. One option is the Graco Ultra Clear II (*Est. $40) but we found the best reviews in this price range for the Sony BabyCall Nursery Monitor NTM-910 (*Est. $40). The basic Fisher-Price baby monitor averages only mediocre scores on user-review sites, with many complaints of static.

The baby-gear book "Baby Bargains" has excellent coverage of the Fisher-Price Sounds ‘n Lights Monitor as part of its informative chapter on baby monitors. Owner-written reviews at Epinions, Amazon.com and ToysRUs.com are also a good source of information on how the Sounds ‘n Lights performs under everyday conditions. Consumer Reports does not include the Sound 'n Lights baby monitor in its latest round of testing.
