15 Best Travel Baby Monitors (Reviewed By Travelling Parents)

The Nanit Pro is one of the most well-known, and most expensive baby monitors on this list.

The monitor is compatible with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, IFTTT, and Alexa and also works with Nest Cam IQ Indoor and Outdoor cameras and the Netatmo Welcome Home security system.

This monitor is a fantastic choice for newborns and small babies, however, the price and features may be overkill for parents with babies over the age of 6+ months.

HelloBaby HB6550 is a great value baby monitor and boasts a number of features often seen in more expensive monitors, albeit without the high price tag.

This baby monitor uses 2.4GHz wireless technology to connect to the camera which makes it a great choice for those looking to stay away from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Meanwhile, the monitor screen is 5″ and features a temperature display. The camera itself can both pan and tilt for the best viewing position, and has an infrared LED so you can see your baby despite the room being dark.

The Angelcare AC527 includes both the parent unit monitor, the high-definition camera and a movement plate.

The movement plate is a fantastic piece of equipment for anxious parents (like us!) and sounds if there is no movement after 20 seconds.

That being said this extra piece of equipment does bump the overall price of this monitor up significantly and makes it one of the most pricy baby monitors on this list.

The VTech VM819 camera comes with a built-in temperature sensor which allows you to monitor the room temperature and adjust your baby’s layers accordingly.

Meanwhile, the baby monitor is a 5″ colour touchscreen display that offers two-way communication between you and your baby.

This monitor has no Wi-Fi or app pairing and instead, the signal is transmitted using a secured internal 2.4GHz channel with FHSS technology, so you can rest assured that you’re the only one who can hear and see your baby.

The Nannio Hero3 is one of the most budget-friendly baby monitors on this list and comes in four different pastel colours.

Sadly what lets this monitor down is the screen which is relatively small (3.5″). Given this, the Nannio Hero3 may only be suitable for parents with slightly older babies and children who are still looking for peace of mind.

Meanwhile, both video and audio are transmitted using a secure 2.4GHz channel with FHSS technology as opposed to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth which ensures privacy for you and your baby.

The Owlet Cam Smart is one of, if not the best baby monitor currently on the market.

This monitor allows you to have a total view of your baby from anywhere, with either the monitor or your smartphone.

The camera offers a wide-angle view, a 4x pinch-to-zoom and a room temperature sensor for complete visibility.

Meanwhile, you can use the background audio to listen to your baby while using your phone for other tasks and speak to your baby using the two-way talk feature anytime, anywhere.

This baby monitor can also be upgraded to include the Owlet Dream Sock which allows you to check your baby’s movement, heart rate and oxygen levels.

This Eufy 720p baby monitor is one of many Eufy products we own (alongside a robotic vacuum and home security cameras).

We love this baby monitor since it offers fantastic additional features and incredible video quality at an affordable price.

The battery lasts up to 30 hours in regular usage scenarios or 12 in continuous monitoring mode. Meanwhile, infrared night vision makes it easy to check on your baby in low-light conditions.

The Hubble Nursery Pal Cloud comes with either one or two cameras depending on your requirements.

This is one of the best portable baby monitors currently on the market and allows you to use your smartphone to view the live feed of your baby from anywhere in the world using the internet connection feature.

Meanwhile, the dedicated 5″ baby monitor screen has a long range of up to 1,000ft.

The BabySense V43 is a great option for parents with more than one child since you can split the 5″ LCD monitor screen in two to watch both children from one central location.

The baby unit has built-in infrared night vision which allows you to check your baby, even if they are in a dark room.

Alongside this there’s also a room temperature display which sounds an alarm on the connected monitor should the baby’s room temperature be too high or low.

This baby monitor is incredibly easy to set up and has a transmission range can be up to 1000ft (in an open area).

The Eufy Spaceview Pro is one of the best baby monitors money can buy.

The baby camera itself provides a clear video with 720p and pans 330° to see corner-to-corner and tilts 110° to allow you to see floor to ceiling.

Meanwhile, the 30-hour battery life (monitoring in regular usage scenarios) means that you don’t have to worry about constantly charging the monitor.

This baby monitor has won multiple awards and has rave reviews from many parents including ourselves.

The Infant Optics DXR-8 Pro is one of the best, albeit most expensive video baby monitors currently on the market.

This baby monitor has an active noise reduction feature which filters out background noise (such as fans, air purifiers, humidifiers, air conditioners, static and more) which allows you to hear your baby more clearly.

The camera has a 6x optical zoom lens included, with an interchangeable wide-angle lens available separately.

Meanwhile, the 1000mW monitor speaker provides loud and clear sound quality.

The Miku Pro is one of the most expensive baby video monitors on this list. However, it comes with a whole host of extra features which may make it a worthwhile investment for some parents.

This baby monitor allows you to not only monitor your baby’s movements, but also their breathing and sleep all without wires, wearables, batteries, or special clothing touching them for ultimate flexibility.

Instead, everything is done through the monitor with SensorFusion technology and broadcast to the Miku app on your smartphone to see their breathing rate, in real-time, right on the screen.

While this baby monitor does use WiFi, the security is second to none with a crypto chip inside the monitor which has been paired with advanced 256-bit encryption and 2-step authentication.

The VTech DM221 baby monitor is audio-only making it a great choice for parents of older children who may need some monitoring while being in a new location.

This monitor has a 1,000ft range and a talk-back intercom that allows you to speak to your child directly.

Meanwhile, the vibrating sound alert ensures that you never miss a moment.

The parent unit runs on a rechargeable Ni-MH battery or AC power with the rechargeable battery lasting for up to 16 hours in total.

The Lollipop baby monitor is a fantastic ‘middle of the road’ baby monitor that offers great value for money and lots of additional features.

This baby monitor provides contactless breathing monitoring (no wearable sensor required) and uses AI technology to allow you to view your baby’s respiratory rate and sleeping position history.

Checking in on your baby with the Lollipop baby monitor on a tablet or smartphone is possible from anywhere in the world.

While the border inside the camera allows you to track the movements inside your baby’s crib. That way if anything happens outside the border, for instance, if the baby’s leg gets stuck, you’ll be notified.

The MoonyBaby Split 50 baby monitor is a great choice if you have two children in different rooms. As it comes with two cameras and a split-screen monitor that allows you to see both children easily.

The 5” Large screen features a high-resolution display, wide-angle lens camera, auto night vision, and 2X digital zoom functions which allow you to see your child clearly, day or night.

However, the features don’t stop there as the monitor also comes with 5 built-in lullabies, room temperature detection, and 2-way talkback.

The Motorola Comfort75 is an affordable and reliable baby monitor suitable for use at home or on the road.

This baby monitor comes with various features including a camera which can be remotely panned left to right using the parent unit and zoomed in 2x to see the baby’s room in more detail.

Meanwhile, the high-sensitivity microphones can catch the slightest sounds, alerting you once your baby starts waking.

From there you can use the 2-way intercom speakers to talk, sing, or coo to your baby to calm them down when necessary.
