The First Years 49 MHz two receiver monitor Review
The Skinny
Our Analysis and Test Results
Low prices can sometimes create a temptation to buy a product that you later wonder if you should have done a bit more research. Such is the case of the First Years 49Mhz monitor from our point of view.
Likes
One of the lowest cost two parent-unit monitors on the market, and very simple to use.
Dislikes
Nearly the worst range and sound clarity of all the monitors we tested.
Much more susceptible to interference and degradation of performance from other electronic devices.
No sound activation feature, which we think is important.
No rechargeable batteries.
Conclusion
Resist the temptation to buy this monitor due to low price; there are better monitors out there for a similarly low price.
