Baby monitor advise needed

Options
I am in the market for a baby monitor. I am really after these main features:

Audio
Video
Sensor pad
Lullabies

I cant seem to find anything that has video, lullabies and a sensor pad. Am I asking for too much?

Thanks

    We use a combination of the angelcare sensor pad BT digital baby monitor 1000 as it has vidoe and lullaby. I don't think i have seen one that does everything.
  • Thanks, I had a feeling that was the case. I can see the senosr pad being very useful for a young baby but once they get more mobile a video will be useful to check up on them better, sounds like I need to buy both.

    I dont think I need the video yet then but I cant find any monitors with a sensor pad that have a lullaby feature, does anyone know of one?

    Thanks

    We have the Tommee Tippee sensor pad monitor. You can buy it with video capabilities too. It doesn't have lullabies, but I don't know of any that have all 3 things your looking for. And actually I don't know of any that have sensor pad and lullabies.

    We used a Ewan the Dream Sheep for lullabies, and it was great. Particularly as it also had white noise for when baby is very small. You can also pick up the light projectors which play lullabies, and project pictures onto the ceiling, which might be a compromise?

  • Thanks, it does seem we need to make a compromise.

    Why do you need a lullaby feature?
    Is it to replace you so you can watch TV?

    // don't read this too attackingly, it's a general statement of my opinion not directed at you.
  • Its because my sister has a baby monitor with lullaby feature and she swears by it....
  • I used a Snuza breathing monitor which clips onto the babies nappy. I used it in combination with a traditional monitor. It worked fantastically for us as she could sleep in different locations without having the hassle of having to move sensor mats etc
