My oldest has decided she wants to sleep in her own room. The baby will still sleep with DH and I and we already have 1 monitor. But, I think I'll need a second one since DD1 will be in her room and DD2 in our room while DH and I have some adult time in the evenings. I've heard that monitors can interfere with each other, we've heard the neighbors on ours. So what do I need to know to avoid this? This is the one we currently have:

TIA!

they make two room monitors, but that's the only way i know of to avoid interference...

Honestly, unless your house is huge or your child has special needs, I can't see the need for a baby monitor for a 4 year old. What would you be listening for? Can you not hear her if she calls for you? Is her bedroom close enough to yours you'd hear her on the one for her sister?

I have 2 of the same model baby monitors going in my house right now, I just have them on different channels. They work fine.

I think as long as they are on different frequencies they won't interfere with each other. We have one that's 900 MHz and one that's 49 MHz, and we've never had a problem with interference.

We sometimes sneak out to the living room for "adult time" and want some warning even if it's just a rustling while she gets out of bed.

Thanks for the tips!

Aaaah, see I wasn't thinking of it from that angle -- I was thinking surely a 4 year old can come find you if she needs you -- but I guess that's not what you want.

I have a Sound & Lights monitor on for my DDs room, and a Summer Infant video monitor for DS and they dont interfere at all.

we have the same arrangement, 1 basic safety 1st monitor...1 fancy digital safety 1st...
I need one at night because I sleep v.soundly & dd age 4 is scared of the dark & won't come to our room.
