Whether your little one is snoozing in another room or you’re away and the sitter is on watch, it’s all but guaranteed your child will cross your mind 121,815 times every hour. Did she lose her pacifier, again? Has he suddenly learned to walk and found a way to climb out of his crib? With today’s video monitors, you never have to wonder if Baby is okay – or crawl out of bed to check. Read on to learn about the newest, most innovative baby monitors on the market as well as some old favorites.

Watch On-the-Go

Tired of wi-fi based monitors that aren't reliable? You'll have no more worries about dropped connections when you add the Philips Avent uGrow Smart Baby Monitor to your parenting toolbox. The smart device can be connected to the internet either via 3G, 4G or Wi-Fi, enabling you to watch over your little one from wherever you are - even if you're out on the town and your sitter is at home. To provide you with the optimal connection to your baby, the uGrow smart baby monitor app relies on SafeConnect Technology to automatically mirror bandwidth (read: adjusts audio and video quality to match the quality of your internet) and will attempt to reconnect on its own if the connection is dropped. Bonus features: installed lullabies, a humidity and temperature readout, nightlight and snapshot function.
