The Levana BabyView 20 is a newer color video monitor that is not quite as popular as the Summer Infant models, particularly the Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor (*Est. $140). Nevertheless, the Levana BabyView 20 monitor is popular with both professional testers and consumers. The audio and video quality are said to be excellent and interference-free, although some consumers say it's not as good as advertisements suggest. This monitor also comes loaded with features; a lullaby function, crib mount, magnetic cradle, voice-activated mode and a standby mode that saves energy are all well liked. Reviewers say the biggest downside to the Levana BabyView 20 is that the volume is still too low even when on the highest setting.
Babble.com, an excellent source for comparative and critical baby monitor reviews, gives the Levana BabyView 20 the top spot in its Best Bells and Whistles category and a short but helpful review. Bestcovery.com ranks the Levana BabyView 20 as the second-best video monitor, based on collected data from hundreds of user-written reviews from other sites. While the clear ranking is helpful, it's questionable how Bestcovery.com's picks are actually made. Plus, the Levana BabyView 20 is selected by mommy blogger Christine Fox of StyleBakeryMom.com as one of her top five baby monitors. User reviews at ToysRUs.com and Amazon.com are numerous enough to be helpful and many customers have contributed excited and positive write-ups about the Levana BabyView 20 they recently purchased.

Tester Kate Bayless awards the Levana BabyView 20 the top spot in Babble.com's Best Bells and Whistles category. A brief but helpful review is given; the item's numerous features and gender-neutral color scheme are praised. Babble.com's round-up of video baby monitors is one of the most detailed available. Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated in more than a year.

4. Amazon.com
Amazon.com has nearly 200 user written reviews of the Levana BabyView 20, giving the monitor an above-average rank. Some reviews are quite detailed, critical and helpful -- again, consistent but sparse complaints about volume level and static can be found. Amazon.com users are overall more critical of this monitor than ToysRUs.com contributors, rating it just slightly lower, but it still earns a respectable 3.5 out of 5 stars on average.
Review: Levana BabyView 20, Contributors to Amazon.com
This mom blogger selects five of her top baby monitors. Four of the five are video baby monitors. The Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Monitor earns the top overall spot. Still, the Levana BabyView 20 is praised as "best technology." Unfortunately, it is unclear as to how or if these products were independently tested.
