Win a Philips Avent Digital Screen, interference-free Baby Monitor

Win a Philips Avent Digital Screen, interference-free Baby Monitor
One impressive gadget making its debut this season is an update to what was already an exciting product: Philips' Interference-Free baby monitor, which continuously scans wireless channels to access the clearest signal and ensure that your baby monitor isn't getting interference from other signals in your home or outside of it. Philips leveraged technology used in other devices to make baby monitors better at a time when the proliferation of wireless signals in the home threatened to drive parents nuts trying to find a monitor with an "A" or "B" frequency choice that didn't interfere with other devices in the home and make their baby monitor sound like a cheap ham radio.

The new version of the monitor is far more affordable than the models offered in its previous version - about half the cost of the eyebrow-raising $300 and $200 version Philips debuted in 2006 - and the sleek redesign stands as one of the first significant achievements of Philips' partnership with leading infant products brand Avent, which it purchased in 2006. In addition to the DECT (digital enhanced cordless telecommunication) technology that scans over 100 channels and switches seamlessly at the slightest signs of interference, the deluxe version of this monitor features a temperature sensor on the baby's side and a display on the parent unit, as well as a communication interface that allows parents to play lullabies or (try to) verbally soothe restless infants remotely. Some of these features are carried over into the basic version of the device as well.

The new monitors will be available in late October, but Amazon.com is accepting orders that will ship out on or around Oct. 21, in both the new full-featured version, which sells for about $150, and its parallel basic model, which sells for around $110. Sounds like a great Christmas present for new parents!

But why not try to win one first? That's right, Philips Avent is giving away one of their full-featured monitors for our first official Polliwogged giveaway, a prize valued at about $150! To enter, comment on this post with your due date or the current age of the child (or children!) you'd use this for.

We'll pick a winner at random from all entries on all eligible posts.

Official Rules: No purchase necessary. One entry per person per eligible post will be accepted, and comments that do not answer questions posed in posts for entrant response will be invalidated. Entrants must be 18 or older and reside in the United States. Item will be shipped to a U.S. address only. Winner will be contacted via email and winner's name or handle will be posted to PRIZEY Winners; failure to respond within 5 business days from first contact with a valid U.S. mailing address for shipment will result in forfeiture of prize and awarding of prize to an alternate designated by ZRecs.

9. Audrey [10/02/08]

I would use this for my 14 month old to hear when he wakes up from his nap. Thanks!

10. Natalie [10/02/08]

My boy is 7 weeks old. We’d love a chance at this. Thanks!

11. terra jones [10/02/08]

I’d use this for our 6.5 week old son - he’ll be 2 months old on Oct. 15th - what a great gift ;-) lol

12. jessica s [10/02/08]

I would love this for our #2 coming in June, and our 2 year old.  Having two monitors that don’t interfere would be great.

13. Jackie H [10/02/08]

This will be used for baby #3 due 11/4/08 - election day baby! :)

14. sarah b [10/02/08]

21. Amber [10/02/08]

My due date for our little man is January 25, 2009. I’ve LOVE this as an early Christmas gift!

22. Thea [10/02/08]

23. Claire [10/02/08]

I am due April 29, but in the meantime, I would use this for my almost 2 year old son!

24. Maggie Smith [10/02/08]

Thanks for the opportunity.

Karen

30. Jeff Highsmith [10/02/08]

I’ve been waiting for the price to drop on the original. I didn’t expect the price to split and get more features, though.

31. Susanne [10/02/08]

Well, my sweet boy is due any day now or officially October 13th!!  This would be a wonderful treat for us!!  Thanks!

32. Belinda P [10/02/08]

My little one is a year old now. We are planning to start trying for another baby soon. This looks like a wonderful product. Thanks for the giveaway!

33. Xenia [10/02/08]

I’m due on December 17 and would absolutely love this!  The monitor we have from our first child was horrible when it came to static and interference so this one would be fantastic!

34. adrienne [10/02/08]

Nov 13!

35. Amanda Youngblood [10/02/08]

I have a 14-month old and another to be born October 20th… and our current monitor sounds like a scratch ham radio.  This product sounds awesome!  It would be nice to be able to really hear without straining!

36. Bree [10/02/08]

I’d love this for my 18-month old and my future babies!

37. Mary Jenkins [10/02/08]

I would love this for my 1 month old nephew!

38. Stacy [10/02/08]

My son is 8 months old, and I hope to give him a brother or sister in the future. But not to soon.

39. Shannon [10/02/08]

Wow!! What a great product! I’d use it with my 7 month old and hopefully newborn in the next 10 or 11 months!

40. Megan A. [10/02/08]

I’d use this for my five month-old and my 27 month-old.  They share a room, so I could hear them both!  The five month-old is sleeping pretty well at night, but now my 2 year-old is having night terrors.

41. Sandy [10/02/08]

need this have many little ones and another on the way

42. Bethany [10/02/08]

I’ve got a two year old that still needs a little monitoring… or is it just me being paranoid. Also we hope to have a couple more in the next few years.

43. Tanya [10/03/08]

My daughter will be two in December and still needs her baby monitor in her room.  I am due with her baby brother in February and would love to have a second monitor so I can listen for them both!  This sounds like a wonderful product!

44. Amanda [10/03/08]

I am due with number 2 on Jan 5th.

45. Liz [10/03/08]

My daughter is 4 months old.  This would be great to have!

46. Mary A [10/03/08]

This would be great for my sister.  She is due to have twins on Feb. 25.  Thanks for the giveaway.

47. Meghan [10/03/08]

I’m due on April 9.  I’d use this monitor for the baby and keep our old Fisher Price one in my two-year-old’s room, so I can still hear him, too.

48. Lana Gilles [10/03/08]

it would be great to have this! We’re 8 month.

49. Anastasia [10/03/08]

I would you use for our baby son (10 months old). He is very active and monitor will really help to keep an “eye” on him. So I can cook and clean while he is sleeping.

50. Cecily T [10/03/08]

I have a 14-month-old, and I’d love it for the two-way communication.  We often forget to bring the sippy cup up to her room at night, and once I’ve entered her bedroom at night, I’m not allowed to leave without much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Also, not having to play with A and B would be great. We finally moved the bedroom receiver into our bathroom and just turned it WAY up b/c the humming by my bedside was waking us up. Nothing like having the baby be asleep and having the monitor wake you up!

Thanks for the giveaway!

51. Kerry [10/03/08]

The baby I would use this for is my youngest son who is 6 months old.

52. LN [10/03/08]

Well, my 3 year old can leave his bed alone, so I’d probably use it for my 21 month old—as my 2 month old is still in my room!
3 kids, and we still don’t own a monitor.

53. Sarah [10/03/08]

I would use this for the baby we are adopting - due Oct 15! And we just found out last week so we only have a couple of weeks to get everything ready!

54. Alison [10/03/08]

We are expecting our first child - a girl on December 28th! :)

Great contest!

55. gillian [10/03/08]

due date with baby #2 is December 29th

56. Margie [10/03/08]

We are 13 weeks into this new adventure and due April 7, 2009.  Thanks for helping me get ready for our first with your wonderful website, and thanks for the chance at the monitor!

57. Jennifer [10/03/08]

My due date is October 23. This would make for a lovely way to keep track of my lil one. Thanks for the giveaway.

58. Renee [10/03/08]

I’d like to win and give this to my sister in law who is due in May.

59. Cortney [10/03/08]

I just found out today that I am Pregnant! YEAH! So I’m due in 9 months - not sure the exact date (sorry).  But I love this and it would be a great addition to my house!

60. Karla W. [10/03/08]

I have a 15 year old and a 2 1/2 year old. I would use it for the 2 1/2 year old as she is close to graduating from the crib in a room by mine, to an upstairs room in a “big bed.”

61. Rachel F. [10/04/08]

My kids are two and three and a half. I need a monitor because my eldest is undergoing surgery in a month and will be unable to walk for six+ weeks, so I’ll need to be able to hear her if she needs something at night.

62. Laddie [10/04/08]

My first child is turning two months old on the 14th. :) I don’t have a baby monitor yet, this will be great for his room.

63. Jen L [10/04/08]

I have a 1 month old and a 4 yr old.  Our old monitor doesn’t work anymore so we’re looking for a new one.  Would be great to win!

64. Bezen [10/04/08]

My daughter is 11 months old.

65. Sara G [10/04/08]

I actually want to get this for my sister who is due with her first baby on March 12th. She’d love it!

66. Aura [10/04/08]

My twins are 8 months old and I could definately use it!

67. erinn [10/05/08]

3 kids ages 4, 2, and 9 mos.

68. Cari [10/06/08]

I have a 2 year old and a new one on the way, due December 5.  We would love to have a new monitor for the second baby!

69. Melissa [10/06/08]

No baby yet but my husband and I will be starting our family really soon so this would be great for our first baby!

70. kelli [10/06/08]

9-month old. We’re moving to a two-story condo, so it would be great to keep track of her while I’m downstairs with the other two kids (3 and 5).

71. Margaret [10/06/08]

I am due January 10.  Thanks!

72. Pamela Vest [10/06/08]

My nieve would love this she just had a baby boy. Please enter me for her.

73. Sharon Thayer [10/06/08]

I am not pregnant but do have a 6 1/2 month granddaughter who stays with us occasionally. and this would be great for us grandparents who are hard of hearing !! lol Would love to win this I would feel so much more at ease leaving her asleep in another room.

74. Cherie [10/06/08]

Have two kids in one room, ages 2 1/2 and 10 months.  Current monitor is nice, but annoyingly static-charged!  I live downtown in a major city, so interference is often an issue - would love a monitor without the static!  And since we live in a townhouse with several floors, I really need a monitor to keep tabs on the kids!!

75. Laura [10/06/08]

We are due January 29th.  Thanks!!

76. Fazeela [10/06/08]

I’m due Nov 10. My first child. I could really use this!

77. Jennifer P. [10/06/08]

I would use this for my daughter who turned 5 months yesterday.

78. Stephanie Akins [10/06/08]

Our youngest was born July 18th and we hope to have one more in a year or so.

79. Romie [10/06/08]

I’ve got a 9 month old and a 2 1/2 yr old that I would love this for!

80. Jenna [10/06/08]

I would love to use this with my 19-month-old daughter.

81. Chandra [10/06/08]

We have an almost 3 year old, 12 month old and 4 month old.  We would definitely have a use for this product.  Awesome!

82. Rebekah [10/06/08]

My little boy is 7 months. This would be wonderful, our current monitor picks up terrible statis since we live under the flight path of the local airport.

83. Jennifer [10/06/08]

We’re due in Nov with our second. I’ve been through 3 monitors with our first and never found one that didn’t drive us batty. This sounds like a fantastic product!

84. Pam [10/06/08]

My little girl is 16.5 months.  We have a Sony monitor that we’re not that crazy about so this would come in handy.

85. Teresa Hoyt [10/06/08]

All of my kids are too old for a monitor, so I would give this to my sister who is due in january. Thanks for the chance to win!

86. nicole [10/06/08]

My youngest is 2, but we are trying very hard for a third.  Our other monitors have all died, and there were three of them so far. This one sounds terrific and from two companies I trust for quality.  Thank you for a fabulous giveaway!

87. Yvonne [10/06/08]

Sweet product!  I have a 2 year old toddler and #2 is due Thanksgiving time.  I have one of those A or B monitors and although I do like it, the lack of channel choice is annoying!  Thanks for this opportunity. =)

88. Brenda Elsworth [10/06/08]

I am not pregnant, but girl i work with will be a single mom in January!  She is expecting a little boy and I would love to be able to gift this to her!

89. Cheryl [10/06/08]

104. Amanda Abbott [10/08/08]

My daughter is 3 months old and my middle son is 21 months.  The way our house is set up their bed rooms are on the other side of the house.  This monitor would be perfect for our home!!!

109. Sarah [10/08/08]

We have a monitor we are using for our 13 month old that has a battery that only lasts an hour at a time, if we are lucky (I think we got a lemon).  It is a Phillips too, so I would love to win one that works properly!

110. Tyler [10/09/08]

Our little boy will be six weeks tomorrow.

111. brandy [10/09/08]

due date for my baby girl is dec 7!

112. Sheritza Vega [10/09/08]

My daughter is 1 month old! and this item would be perfect to watch her on my home office, while she sleeps on her crib. We use the Avent bottles and we love them, I’m sure AVENT has a winner with this product also.

113. kelly [10/09/08]

My youngest is 2 and we are JUST about to move her out of our bedroom into her own room at night, so a reliable monitor would be a godsend!  Once she’s on her own, more kids may be in the cards, though. :-)

114. Rebeccah [10/09/08]

I would use this for my 5 month old daughter.  The one we have now was handed down to us and is very staticky.  I would love one that works where I can sleep a little better.

115. Michele P. [10/10/08]

First grandchild for hubby was born Aug. 29th, so this would be a great gift!

micaela6955 at msn dot com

120. rebecca [10/11/08]

this gift would not be for me I want to send it to my sis in Jersey who is expecting early next year. She is 38 and could probably use all the help she can get

121. Maureen [10/11/08]

This would be a gift for my sister who is due the week after Thanksgiving. This will be baby number 3 and the other two children are 2 and 3 and this would be quite helpful to her.

122. Angela K [10/11/08]

I would use this for my kids 6 months and 2-1/2 years.

123. Rebecca [10/11/08]

My baby isn’t due until next year (yawn) but I have one on my to get list. (Feb. 20th). - I would love to win this as I know I would never buy such a good model, I would probably just settle for a simlple 1 way listener. thank you for the giveaway and goodluck to all.

124. Roberta [10/11/08]

We have a newborn (6 weeks )who is still in the room with us, we’d love to win this for when she moves out of our room.

Thanks for the extra chance to win:)

129. Kathy Conley [10/14/08]

This would be for my newborn nephew who was born Oct 1!

130. Tammy Kennedy [10/14/08]

My son and daughter in law just had their first child on 9/7/08 and they are so worried about everything.
My grandson has parents that love him but I feel they are too over protective that don’t want to leave him alone for a second. When my son is at work he calls every break and during his lunch. My daughter in law puts my grandson in his babyseat and puts him in the bathroom while she takes a bath. I feel winning this prize for them well give them a sense of relief so they can allow grandson some alone time but still watch over him.
Thank you for a chance to win this prize.

131. Michelle L [10/14/08]

My youngest son is 5 weeks old. This looks like a great product.

132. Doreen [10/14/08]

I am due with my first on Dec 14th!

133. Alyson LaBarge [10/14/08]

I have a wild and wacky 2 year old that I cannot take my eyes off of for a minute!  This would be awesome!

134. physed [10/15/08]

My wife is due in March and we have a 2 1/2 year old now.  This would be perfect.

135. Michelle [10/15/08]

I have a 9 month old and could use a moniter for her so I could use our old moniter on my 2 year old!
