    We are expecting baby #3 in November. We're about to purchase another monitor because we still use one for our boys and aren't ready to give that up. This got me wondering, though, can we use two monitors in one house? I know monitors can experience interference from other devices. Has anyone personally done this? Do you know for sure whether they do/do not interfere with each other? It wouldn't be worth getting another one if they won't operate appropriately. Thanks.

    We have THIS monitor in our kids' rooms. We usually leave the monitor on Hannah's room at night bc her room is the farthest from us and she is the "baby":) but when we're watching TV and stuff we can easily switch channels to peek on the boys as well:)
    We have the boys monitor wired up into the corner of the room so it isn't the best picture and Hannah's is wired up over her crib. For the money I think its a great monitor to be able to see into 2 rooms.

    We use the Angle Care monitors, a different channel for each room. No static or interference.

    Well, you can have 2 cheapy monitors in the same house, but You may have some interference occasionally. THE best investment we made was the Summer video monitor...I think it's calls Slim and Sleek. Summer makes a couple different video monitors, but this one comes with two different cameras that toggle every 8 seconds between rooms with both video and audio. Its AWESOME and I highly recommend it!!!

    We have two monitors-one in the boys room and one in Annabella's room. The boys will be 4 next week and Annabella is 2. We keep them on our dresser in our bedroom and generally speaking, there is no interference. We don't have them directly next to each other either. We've had them for two years now. We just bought the same monitors. Good luck!

    We had two Graco Vibe monitors from the beginning, and never had a single issue with interference at home or anywhere that we stayed. They were great!

    We now have one Vibe monitor and one cheapo (dont' even know the brand name) monitor from Target that we bought while on vacation when we lost a piece of the Graco one. We are now home and those two monitors (Graco is digital, other is not) work together fine as well. We've never had an issue with any of them.

    We have one digital video monitor for the baby and we are still using a regular monitor (8 channel) for the girls. We've had no trouble with interference. We actually have 3 monitors going during nap time since all 3 kids sleep in different rooms. The biggest trouble has been with the video monitor inteferring (slowing down) the wireless for the computer but it's not that bad.

    If you get two monitors with the ability to use different channels you'll be able to change the channels so they won't interfere with each other.

    We have two. One is a more expensive graco digital, one is a cheaper first years analog or something like that. We have more issues with the digital one losing signal if someone walks in front of it than anything else ;) It beeps loudly when it loses signal.

    Second vote for the Summer Infant video monitors. We got the Slim and Secure monitor. You can add up to 4 camers really easily. We have 3 hooked up to ours.
