Miku Smart Baby Monitor vs. Nanit

Miku Smart Baby Monitor Review

We compare the new Miku baby monitor vs the Nanit, a similar concept and price point. Miku is HSA / FSA approved.

One of the main features Miku boasts is offering real-time breathing analysis WITHOUT wearables via app notifications. And there are NO subscription fees.  It also has won a ton of awards such as The Bump Best of Baby Awards 2019.

 VTech VM3252 vs. Summer Infant Glimpse Review

 

Summer Infant Glimpse Review 2018

Summer Infant Glimpse

Which $100 Video Baby Monitor is best? In this article we are comparing two popular baby monitors. These come with their own video screen and in the $100 budget category: VTech VM3252 and Summer Infant Glimpse. These monitors are widely available on Amazon, Target and other retailers.

At the time of this article we bought ours at Target: $99 for VTech (VM3252-2 – two camera version) and $79 for the Glimpse.  The VTech comes in a one camera version for $69.  While the Glimpse is not offered in a 2 camera bundle, you can add a second camera for $49.

At this price level functionality is going to be limited but do either of these get the job done?

Infant Optics DXR-8 Baby Monitor Review

Photo Credit: Stefanie Fox Lifestyle Photography Wow. Before we give our review let’s mention a few things first.  For several years, the Infant Optics DXR-8 has been the top rated video baby monitor on Amazon. It is also endorsed by Engadget, Wirecutter, Popular Mechanics, and received the Best of the Bump 2018 award. Per online reviews the Infant Optics DXR-8 is the Big Kahuna, Bees Knees, Cat’s Meow, and the BMOC (Big Monitor on Campus) with over 26,000 reviews on Amazon. Yes, that is the correct number of zeroes. So, does it live up to the hype?
