A baby monitor is one of the most important, if not the most important, tech tool you'll get when you have a baby. You'll want to keep tabs on your babies crying, movement and even breathing when you're away from them. What better way than with a portable color video monitor that's about the size of a cell phone.

The Summer Infants Slim & Secure Handheld Color Video Monitor is a fantastic baby monitor and we're so excited that Summer Infant is offering up one for a lucky reader. This video baby monitor lets you move around the house (yard too) and still keep a watchful eye and attentive ear on your baby. The monitor has a 10 hour battery, 350 foot range and whopping total of 6 buttons so there isn't anything complicated you have to do to get going. Plug it in, turn it on and enjoy the movie. In addition to video, there is sound as well as an audio light bar that fills up depending on how loud the sounds are (similar to many audio only monitors). The sound and video quality are great and the monitor range is amazing. I've walked to the bus stop and back (about 4 houses away) and still picked up a signal.

A few features that we thought were extra cool:

• At night, the camera automatically switches to use it's infrared LED's so you can see your baby in a dark room.
• When using the monitor not plugged in, the video "sleeps" after a few minutes leaving the audio and sound lights going (to optimize the battery time) and can be easily turned back on with the press of a button.
• The ability to add up to 4 cameras. 

A few Places This is super handy Outside the nursery:

• In the playroom.
• The back yard.
• Prop up during a play date to let all the kids know all the moms are watching (handy for older kids).

One moment when I found myself saying, "Isn't this great?" was when I unplugged the monitor (about the size of a cell phone or digital camera) and slipped it in my pocket to walk outside and chat with a few neighbors in front of my house during nap time. When I heard sounds coming from the monitor I would grab it and peek to see if I needed to go back inside. It was amazing. It also let's me see when the kids are getting into trouble and I now have the power to know exactly what happens during fights or if something gets broken.

The system also comes with an av cable so if your TV has this input, you can view video through the TV. (How cool would that be w/picture in picture?) $199.99 exclusively @ ToysRUs.Com (extra cameras $89 each; sold separately)
