A restage of the very successful 49 Mhz Sounds 'n Lights monitor. The Sounds 'n Lights restage delivers superior communication to mom of baby's call with a dramatic new "Radial" light display. The light display replaces the current single LEDs with concentric semi-circles of light that have a bolder, more visible glow so Mom can "see" her baby's call more clearly and from a greater distance. A fresh new contemporary housing design for both the transmitters and receiver further refreshes the monitor. Internal features of the monitor will remain the same.

Nervous, first-time parents will appreciate the extreme sensitivity of the Sound ‘n Lights monitor. This single-receiver monitor provides two ways to check on what baby is up to in her crib. The sound is clear as a bell so parents can hear even the slightest noises, such as baby’s breathing or rolling over in her crib, and cries come through loud and strong. As a secondary measure, the receiver also features a light display to keep tabs on baby. A single arc of light on the display suggests that baby is quiet or asleep while a swift climb to four arcs means that baby is most likely making a lot of noise. This light feature is a blessing for parents whose babies cry themselves to sleep as parents can "see" if their child is quieting down without having to listen to agonizing screams. Further features include a power indicator light on the base, a volume control, two channels to reduce interference, and the option of using the AC adapter or three "AA" batteries (not included) for power. Fisher-Price covers this 900-MHz unit under a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
Works Great (2008-12-06)
We live in a one-story house and find this monitor to be just fine for the job. We don't feel the need for video capability that makes some of the other products more expensive. It works great on or off the AC power. Definitely a product I'd recommend.
Fisher Price Sounds and Lights: Basic, No Frills Means to Check on Your Babies (2008-05-31)
The Fisher Price Sounds `N Lights Monitor offers some good qualities that make it a worthwhile addition to the household with infants and young toddlers. Its best feature is its ability to pick up and transmit even the slightest sounds. Any slight noise in the babies' room, like a slight cough, or even a deep breath, is detected by the transmitter and sent to the receiver. Depending on how loud the volume is turned up, concerned parents will be able to hear these and other sounds with ease.
Sounds are most important, but The Fisher Price Sounds `N Lights Monitor also offers lights to let parents know about the activities taking place. The lights indicate the intensity of the noise and they work even if the volume is turned completely off. The arcs of red light on the Fisher Price Sounds `N Lights Monitor include four arcs and they light up based on the intensity of the noise. They aren't absolutely necessary, but they are good for those who would rather monitor with their eyes as opposed to ears.
Does the Fisher Price Sounds `N Lights Monitor have any drawbacks? Yes, it certainly does and the most annoying among them is the static. No matter how little activity is going on within the vicinity of the transmitter, you still get static and it is especially loud if the volume control is turned too high. Sometimes, you can reposition the receiver and/or transmitter of the Fisher Price Sounds `N Lights Monitor and reduce the static. Changing the channel can also help. But you can't do much with the antennae and there is almost no way to get completely static- free reception.
Another potential problem with this monitor is its ability to sometimes pickup the sounds from other people in the neighborhood. If someone else is using a baby monitor- or even if they are just talking on the phone- the Fisher Price Sounds `N Lights Monitor might end up receiving some of the sounds. This can be quite shocking when it happens the first time. You will think there is someone in your babies' room when, in reality, the sounds are coming from the neighbors.
Taken as a whole, however, the Fisher Price Sounds `N Lights Monitor is a good monitor for new parents and while it doesn't offer anything special, it gets the job done for minimal cost. There are certainly better monitors out there, but this monitor completes its task without doing too much damage to the pocketbook.
Excelente Producto y Muy Util (2007-09-17)
Este producto es muy útil y de buena calidad, en países como Colombia, en algunos lugares presenta interferencias de señal por la mala calidad del energía electrica, pero se puede solucionar con un buen cortapicos o estabilizador de voltaje
It does the job. I like it. (2007-09-10)
I have been using it since my 21-month-old was born. I have never used other baby monitors so there is no comparison can make. It has lights on when it detacts any sound. I can even hear my baby breathing. It is durable. There is no fanzy functions, but for the price I paid, it really does a good job.
Noise, noise and more noise (2007-05-03)
You can turn up the volume to hear the baby, but you will be listening to a lot of static and won't be able to sleep at night. We tried this monitor in 3 different areas of the US, and static everywhere. Very poorly designed. Do not buy it.
