The BT Baby Monitor 150 provides advanced features such as Mp3 plug-in and integrated thermometer, DECT digital technology, polyphonic lullabies, rechargeable batteries and a torch on the parent handset. High definition sound gives you a new level of sound quality - so real it sounds like your baby is in the room with you! Plug in an MP3/CD audio source and you can play your baby's favourite music at bedtime to help them sleep. A separate audio device (such as an mp3 or CD player) is required for this function.

The BT Baby Monitor 150 is not just practical and packed with features for your peace of mind, but it also has a sleek stylish design, with sophisticated clean lines and muted colours. Furthermore, the vibrate function gives you peace of mind without the disturbance of standard baby monitors.

Customer's review

Reassuringly expensive ;)

Before buying this monitor I did a fair bit of research to check that the high price was justified. After using the BT 150 for a few days both me and the wife (and newborn baby!) are impressed & give it 5 stars. It's well built, looks decent, has great sound quality and has a bunch of features not found on other models (e.g. Aux input for MP3 players).

The talk-back feature is especially useful if my wife is doing the feeding upstairs and I want to ask her whether she'd like a cup of tea from the living room.

Audio doesn't seem to get any interference from the wifi point, nor from the wireless DECT phone.. and I don't think it's producing interference either.

The nightlight is a little weak; I'd prefer it to be a bit brighter, but that's only a small criticism. We didn't go for the a model including a pressure-sensitive mat due to reports of false alarms and forgetting to turn it off before picking up the baby :-o

Both units can be battery powered.

Overall it's a well designed bit of kit which should suit everyone who's willing to spend that little bit extra.

DISAPPOINTING

Initially had to take this monitor back as the two monitors (parent and baby) were failing to link to one another. Got a replacement and neither the sound alert or the vibrate alert work. Tried everything and was recommended to return it ! I am going to and this time will buy a different product that hopefully works.

Just works as it should - brilliant

I bought this item about 4 months ago after giving up on the Tomy Platinum after having two Tomy units that broke over 18 months (if you're deciding between this and the Tomy do read my review on that item).

I was a little reluctant to buy a product that BT have stuck their name on as the BT brand just means 'mediocre' to me but I'm glad I overcame my irrational brand prejudice as this item is just BRILLIANT. It's solid, the features and product design are well thought out and the battery life is phenomenal, which is such a huge help when you're travelling with your baby monitor. A small point but indicative of the attention to detail is that the baby light is a warm yellow rather than a cold blue as on the Tomy (which was nasty and felt like one of those UV fly traps left on in shops over night).

It's probably got more features than I need but hardly a negative particularly given it's well priced. After 18 months of being disappointed and annoyed by the Tomy I'm just delighted with this BT product. It's cured me of my brand prejudice to the extent that I've just bought a BT internet radio.

On the upside the monitor has excellent sound when you are listening out for babys cries from the other room. On the downside you cant read the temperature unless you are about a millimetre away because the screen is so dark.The nightlight doesnt really light anything up. Also when you speak from the other room through the monitor it sounds monstrously mechanical (although this is a small point and Im sure they are all like that). Hope this helps.

Great Little Monitor

Bought this for our new baby and am really impressed. Compact, clear, easy to use has a light and plays melodies. Cheaper than everywhere else. What more can you ask for?
