I was really excited about this monitor. My Safety First monitor broke because we are the clumsiest parents on the face of this earth and have dropped it a bunch of times. After 18 months the thing finally broke. We received this monitor at a baby shower for our second baby. When I turned it on, I was so disappointed to see that it did not compare to the safety first monitor at all. The picture is grainy and so is the sound. There was no way I would be able to sleep with the noise. The next day I returned it to the store and bought another Safety First monitor. Hopefully we will be more careful with it this time.
