 Problematic - do not buy April 11, 2008
3 out of 7 found this review helpful
Having had the BT Baby Plus for aprox 7 months it suddenly stopped working. BT were very helpful and sent out the brand new BT baby monitor 150. The monitor and parent unit would not connect - so they sent another one. The vibrate does not work and the unit cuts out on anything other than sensitivity level 5. They have asked me to send it back so they can check it - without sending a replacement; they are asking me to go without a baby monitor for "a few days". As i do not want my child to be in bed, upstairs without a baby monitor I find that this system is flawed.
 Fantastic Monitor - well worth the extra money April 4, 2008

I originally had a Tommee Tippee Suresound Deluxe but hated it and bought this BT 150 model instead. It is fantastic. The sound quality is fantastic and I like that you can turn the sensitivity up and down so we can choose not to hear every little snort and snore our son makes. (he's a noisy sleeper). You can turn the volume up and down on the parent unit, and it vibrates so you can 'feel' if your child is yelling while you're mowing the lawn with it in your pocket. The reception is fantastic; the signal has never dropped out even in our 3 storey thick-walled Victorian house, and it still gets the signal 70 metres down the end of the garden in our brick summerhouse. I like the temperature reading which you can see from the parent unit, I like the 5 different lullabies which you can turn on and off by remote. And the batteries last for ages and recharge easily by putting the unit back on the parent stand. I definitely recommend this monitor - yes it's a little more pricey than many on the market, but it's well worth it.
Excellent purchase - thanks reviewers! April 4, 2008

We spent a long time researching monitors for our first baby due in June, as I didn't want to waste what can be a considerable amount of money. Amazon's reviewers persuaded me to buy the BT monitor 150 and I'm very pleased so far. I'm currently downloading the CDs that my Mum made me onto my IPOD so I can play these to my bump at bedtime - very useful feature! Everything's as promised so far, and I'm looking forward to playing with it and discovering all the features! Very good value for money I'd say.
 Works well but some flaws April 1, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is a feature packed monitor with clear sound. After all, clear, interference free sound is what matters most and it delivers on this respect. However, there are some flaws, at least with my unit:
- Sound Alert and Vibrate don't work unless you turn the volume all the way down using the volume keys. If you press the mute button they don't work.
- Even if you remember to turn it down instead of pressing mute, the volume required to activate Sound Alert and Vibrate is too high for our newborn and cannot be changed.
- The talk-back button on the parent unit is too easy to press accidentally, which may blast sound out of the baby unit.
- It is too easy to press the talk-back button whilst turning off the torch, resulting in a loud feedback screech if both units are too close together.
- There is no feedback detection, so you get a loud screech if both units are too close together.
- It sometimes makes my BT cordless phone lose connection with the base-station if they are close together.
Maybe another reviewer can let me know if they have the same flaws.
Don't let this put you off however, I researched carefully before buying this and I am still pleased with my purchase. The other functions work well and I hope BT can fix the flaws with the next version.
Good product with only one flaw so far March 28, 2008

Had this product for a few days now and on the whole are pleased with the results. Like other reviewers, I would agree that the reception and sound quality is exceptionally good and the baby unit only has to be in the same room to pick up most baby grunts. Also, being digital there is practically no hiss from the parent unit even when the volume is turned up full.
My only problem I have with this product is that the parent unit only works of the rechargable batteries even when it is plugged into the charger. If the batteries don't have enough charge in them then the speaker in the parent unit does not switch on. The lights on the parent unit show noise in the baby room but you don't hear anything. I phoned the BT helpline and they confirmed this to be the case and advised to recharge the batteries fully before continuing. I was told that I could remove the batteries from the parent unit and just have it plugged into the charger but I have found that the parent unit does not function at all without the batteries.
So, when it does work it works well but annoying that the parent unit only works from the batteries. Note, the baby unit will work of the mains or batteries. I can't see why they couldn't have done the same with the parent unit.
Like the other reviewers, the other features are very good especially the talk back feature that allows you to communicate from the parent unit to the baby unit.
