If you are in the market for a dual baby monitor, then you are in the right place! Not sure what features you need? Do you want WiFi? No WiFi? Both? Keep reading as we break down the best dual baby monitors on the market.

When it comes to baby monitors, there are so many options that choosing one can be very overwhelming. But for parents of twins, selecting a monitor can be even more challenging because you need something that allows you to have eyes on both babies at once. We’ve done the research for you and compiled a list of the best dual baby monitors on the market to help make your selection a little bit easier.

Before we get into the models, here are a few things to consider when making your selection.

Features to Consider in Dual Baby Monitors

WiFi or no WiFi?

You’ll need to decide whether you prefer a WiFi or non-WiFi monitor. WiFi monitors offer the convenience of remote access through your smartphone. It’s like baby surveillance on the go! However, they may come with a slight time delay and potential security concerns (like all internet-connected devices). The security of a baby monitor with WiFi depends on several factors, like the manufacturer’s security measures and network password strength.

Non-WiFi monitors offer real-time monitoring without the lag and are more secure from hacking. However, you are limited to the “range” of your monitor for viewing. So, a basic monitor will do the trick if you’re just looking to peek in on your twinnies while chilling at home.

Battery Life

Battery life is a critical factor to consider, especially on the parent unit. You want a monitor that will last through the night and provide peace of mind, so you’re not rushing to recharge it. Nothing is worse than going to check on the babies and finding out your parent unit has a drained battery. 

Range

The range is important if you choose non-WiFi or prefer to use the parent unit. Most monitors we mention below have a range of 900-1,000 feet. This is really important because you’ll want to move freely around your home without worrying about losing your signal.

Now, let’s get into the best dual baby monitors out there!
