Best Baby Monitor – Need Honest Opinions After Lots of Research

[CarolW]

Hi everyone,
I am a new parent and honestly struggling to pick the right baby monitor. I have been reading reviews for weeks now, checking different blogs, forums, and comparison sites and it is getting confusing instead of easier.
I went through reviews on well known sites like New York Times (Wirecutter), BabyGearLab, What to Expect, and even Lifewire and Tom’s Guide. Also spent hours scrolling Reddit threads and parenting forums. After all that, I keep seeing the same two baby monitors being mentioned again and again.
The two that stand out most are:

1. Dr.Care VistaView Smart WiFi Baby Monitor – 5” 1080P Split Screen & 2K Camera App
2. CHILLAX Baby Monitor Baby Mood Plus, 5-inch 1080p HD Camera

I read, both seem solid and have lots of positive feedback. People talk about clear video, reliable connection, and useful features for day and night monitoring. On paper, they both look great, which is why I am stuck.
Honestly, I am not here to promote anything, just looking for real suggestions from the community, especially from parents who have actually used one of these. If you had to choose between these two, which one would you go with and why?
Both have tons of reviews, and the features look amazing. I just need help deciding which is better in real-life use.
Thanks in advance, really appreciate any advice.
