We haven't been on vacation with LO yet, but if we're staying overnight at my parents' house, we'll bring it. </p> <p>If we forget any monitor, we'll use our phones as our monitors! We both have iPhones, so we can facetime, or since he's older, we just use the audio. We just put the phones on speaker and mute the one we have with us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-baby-monitor-for-travel#post-1009649 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 09:11:07 +0000 swurlygurl 1009649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bring our Motorola with us. It's a little bit of a PITA to set it up, and find the right spot for the camera, but after being SO used to having it, I would be a mess without it... haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-baby-monitor-for-travel#post-1009081 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 23:34:09 +0000 shopaholic 1009081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've also taken the Motorola on our weekend trips when we have rooms with a door. Didn't take it on our Europe trip and cruise since we were in just one small room both places. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-baby-monitor-for-travel#post-1008965 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 21:28:12 +0000 pregnantbee 1008965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beehive: We brought our Motorola with us. Was perfect, and it barely took up any room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-baby-monitor-for-travel#post-1008963 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 21:26:50 +0000 CarrieLouWho 1008963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just went to the beach for a week and we brought the Motorola monitor. It wasn't very bulky to pack (although we were driving). I'm also addicted to being able to see DD, so I totally understand wanting to bring it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-baby-monitor-for-travel#post-1008958 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 21:22:25 +0000 MamaG 1008958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We take your summer infant with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-baby-monitor-for-travel#post-1008946 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 21:15:25 +0000 Sunshine710 1008946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've brought our Motorola with us on 10+ trips this last year!!! We're going to Europe in a few weeks and likely wont bring it there though because it would require another converter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-baby-monitor-for-travel#post-1008881 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 20:43:45 +0000 matador84 1008881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the motorola one and always bring it on vacay! nice to be able to relax and not worry about hearing baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-baby-monitor-for-travel#post-1008819 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 20:21:05 +0000 kiddosc 1008819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bring our summer infant monitor with us. We just have to position the pack and play so we can set up the camera somewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-baby-monitor-for-travel#post-1008817 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 20:20:42 +0000 heartonastring 1008817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a baby monitor app on my phone and on one of our ipads (the same app, One device acts as the camera and the other as the receiver). I haven't tried it yet, but it's rated pretty highly. I can't remember the name right now though and my phone is dead and ipad is plugged in in DD's room playing white noise. If I remember, I'll post it here tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-baby-monitor-for-travel#post-1008812 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 20:18:49 +0000 Beehive 1008812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chopsuey: Thanks! I guess that is how people do it then. I'll just have to position the travel crib so we can put the camera somewhere that works! It's funny, I'm so hooked on video monitors that I don't even like not having one when I'm sleeping in the same room with LO... if it's dark, I can't see him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-baby-monitor-for-travel#post-1008786 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 20:10:07 +0000 chopsuey 1008786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I've taken my motorola (2 cams! one for each kid). </p> <p>I've also taken the first video monitor we had back when DD was 4 months old.. a huge summer infant mini TV looking thing. </p> [attach=45/13/mre8kv.344x282.Screen-shot-2013-08-11-at-9.09.54-PM.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/video-baby-monitor-for-travel#post-1008770 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 20:05:10 +0000 Beehive 1008770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going abroad for a couple weeks and will be staying in suites with LO, and I would love to be able to see LO in his crib when we're in the living room area and he's in the bedroom. I think I've gotten too attached to having a video monitor at home! Has anyone used a video monitor on vacation? How/what? I can't picture bringing the Motorola with us, though I guess that's a possibility. </p>
