Best Baby Monitors 2019 (+ 3 popular, but bad monitors)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Cocoon Cam is shutting down operations at the end of May. Time to pick a new monitor.

Our reccs: Nanit, Miku, or Lollipop. Check out reviews of them all at youtube.com/fathercraft — thanks!

Here’s what we cover in this video:

To arrive at our picks for top baby monitors of 2019, we’ve done in-depth testing of dozens of baby monitors including both wifi baby monitors and traditional monitors.

We test monitors across a number of attributes, including picture quality, sound quality, ease of use, and standout features.

We’ll show you our top 3 picks, why all 3 of our top picks are wifi baby monitors (meaning they connect via wifi and use a phone app as the parent unit), and the 3 features shared by all 3 of our top 3 baby monitors of 2019.

Next, we discuss three popular but not particularly good baby monitors (one of which, the Nest Cam, isn’t even a baby monitor, even though a lot of people wish it was!). We’ll explain the flaws in each of these you need to watch out for.

Finally, we’ll discuss our giveaways of our winner for the best baby monitor of 2019!
