The First Years Digital Monitor

Pros
  • Sound clarity
  • Little interference
Cons
  • Frequent signal loss
  • Annoying beeps
  • Night mode is too bright

Parents posting to user review sites give The First Years Digital baby monitor a low average score. The advantage of digital baby monitors is that they theoretically get less interference from other electronics. While we didn't read many complaints about interference, we did read numerous complaints that the First Years Digital baby monitor loses its signal frequently, beeps annoyingly and that the night light is too bright.

The best review of The First Years Digital baby monitor comes from baby gear gurus Denise and Alan Fields. Based on product research and reader feedback, the authors discuss and rank nine baby monitor brands for their latest edition of "Baby Bargains," their bestselling book. Owners also weigh in on The First Years Digital at Amazon.com and Epinions.com.
