Dual baby monitor - help
To cut a long story short I am having a nightmare with monitors (have had 2x Tomy ones and a Tixylix one and all of them have broken or never worked to start with).
I now have two babies in two separate bedrooms and need to fork out for two monitors! I was wondering if dual monitors exist, ie one parent unit with two baby units? If so can anyone recommend one?

Dual baby monitors do exist as i looked into them before deciding to just get another Tixilix... here is one on Amazon

But I can throroughly recommend the BT 150 digital baby monitor. I got it for my 2nd lo as I had a tomy one first and it was totally rubbish. The BT one has a fab range, is cordless with a stand you charge it in over night, it lights up when the baby is making a noise, tells you the temp in their bedroom, has a torch on top that you can use when checking on your lo, plays nursery rhyme lullabys to your lo ... just fab lol! I got mine via Amazon for about ??45 on offer but I think normally they are around ??55.
I'll be interesting to see if anyone knows of any good dual monitors though! xx
Also, that dual monitor is two parent receivers and only one baby (whereas we need two baby and one parent).... that's the only type I can find.
Sorry to just totally shoot you down! Love you really
Ooh, another question whilst I think about it - anyone who has two monitors, is there ever an issue with one interfering with the other?
I did a comparison of the BT one with a John Lewis equivalent & for a tenner cheaper the JL one does exactly the same thing (in theory), so have gone for a pair of those and can always swap if they turn out to be no good.
Was wondering if we could get, both baby units talking to both parent units, as they're the same model - that would be great as then we could have a parent unit in the lounge and another in the bedroom, and hear both girls at once wherever we were. Anyone know?

So if you still need it, or for everyone else, just have a look, seems to be quite good.
Just wondering, how far apart are your babies doors from each other? The BT150 is quite sensitive so wondering if you could position it between the two rooms and then only have one monitor?
For anyone who was wondering, our two same-model John Lewis monitors don't talk to each other unfortunately, so you still have to have two parent units and then carry both about with you (not a problem for us as we have a small enough house that they never leave the docks in the lounge anyway). Can recommend it as a monitor though - very good sound quality, no interference and no faffing about making the parent and baby units talk to each other - you just plug them in and off they go.
