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.

Safe & Sound

Nearly all baby monitors emit a small amount of radiation. And while the verdict is still out on the long-term health effects of these devices, the folks at Belly Armor aren’t taking any chances. Their sleek SmartNova Baby Monitor works via CARE (Cordless Anti-Radiation Environment) technology instead of DECT technology like most. What do all those complicated acronyms mean for you? Less radiation for baby — up to 97 percent less than traditional monitors. Another bonus: battery life is boosted to around three days with CARE technology, versus the typical one day.
