Graco iMonitor $60-$90

The Graco iMonitor is a digital monitor with the choice of one or two parent units, depending upon how much you want to spend. Since it’s a digital unit, it promises complete privacy and little to no interference.

The iMonitor can also come in a ‘multi child’ version so you can monitor two children in two different rooms at once. Good for twins or an older and younger sibling.

It has rechargeable batteries and a docking station to recharge the parent unit(s).

Graco claims that this monitor has a 2000 foot range, but some parents take issue with that. Their only major complaint is that the batteries need recharging a lot, so they usually just keep it plugged in.

Graco also makes an analog monitor, which means it’s subject to interference, called the Ultra Clear II which costs approximately $30, and comes with two receivers for the parents. It has a rechargeable battery and if you aren’t bothered by occasional static or accidental eavesdropping, this 49MHz monitor gets very positive reviews.
