Safety 1st Glow and Go Review
Our Verdict
Our Analysis and Test Results
The Safety 1st Glow and Go monitor is a lesson in simplicity.
Likes
It is easy to set up for use, and it's lack of any sophisticated features makes it fall-off-a-log easy to use. We had it fully operational in minutes. Turn it on, and it works. But, ease of set-up only takes you so far in a product you'll be using for several years.
Dislikes
In practice, we found the Glow and Go to be unsatisfactory. While it offers above average range for a monitor at it's attractively low price point, we found the level of static/interference to be unacceptable in our tests. The combination of lots of static and the lack of a sound sensitivity feature to filter out that background noise left us feeling that using this monitor would be painful.
Conclusion
You'll be using a baby monitor for a long time, typically 2-3 years, and the quality of the monitor will directly impact your ability to sleep.
While the low cost and range of the Safety 1st Glow and Go is attractive, we urge you to consider alternatives before buying this monitor.
