Is anyone using two (2) of these units successfully without problems? We often have two grandchildren staying and would like to buy a second unit.

I've had mixed experience. Running two sets (I have 2 baby units + 4 parent units) causes interference. Running one baby unit works fine 99% of the time. Running both baby units works about 80-90% of the time, depending on how much it's used. So not really recommended, since you get random beeping/disconnects during the night.

Yes. I've had two sets for over a year with no trouble. However one unit is now showing breaks in the images on the screen and the other does not work at all. contacting the company for assistance.

We have two sets of these that seemingly connect to both of our kids rooms for a couple days and then out of nowhere they get an attitude and can't decide what to connect to. Looking at another brand now.

I disagree that two units work properly together. I bought a second set of these same monitors to use with our second baby and they repeatedly interact with each other and lose the link to the base. I called VTech and was told that they run on the same frequency, so this will likely continue to be a problem. I would not recommend using two at the same time.

Be heartened - you are doing absolutely nothing wrong. The mechanism is not working. This happened to me, also. I returned it to Amazon using the prepaid postage label they sent me to print off and they replaced it. The second unit worked just as it was supposed to. Sorry I couldn' t give you a magic fix. But once you get one that DOES work correctly, it IS fabulous!

Yes, I have an almost two year old and a five year old, and each have one. I bought our first one for our one year old, but it was such a hit I had to get a second one.

I haven't used them frequently but they seem to always work when the grand kids come no matter how long it has been between uses. They have a blast with them. Hope this helps.

I have two of these at different locations, one is about 10-12 yrs old. I have never had a problem with either one.

We've had no problems with ours and liked it so much we bought a second one for the "other" house. But I can't imagine why you didn't just return your dud...isn't that the point of purchasing through Amazon? They back pretty much anything sold through their site.

We have had two. Very good quality. We would recommend any one with small children works great.

Great IDEA for a feature, but as far as I'm aware, the "baby unit" is always in the communication loop. However, as I think about this, it might be possible to lower the volume on the baby unit to the point it can't be heard in the nursery so the parents COULD talk on the other 2 units. It's late tonight, but I'll check this theory out for you sometime tomorrow & re-edit this answer so we'll know for sure. ***stay tuned*** ----------- Update 7/23/13: Checked for you this morning & unfortunately, the "baby" unit's LOWEST volume level is still audible. So, no, you can't communicate between the two "parent" units without the "baby" unit broadcasting the sound. Even though you can talk to one another, "baby" can always hear. Hope that helped you!

I'd like to know the same thing. We had one break off shortly after we assembled it. It works fine with one, but two would be better. We definitely like the toybox.

I bought 2. One for my kids, worked perfectly fine with no issues and bought another for my cousin who claims it didnt work after a week of usage... You may be able to return if u ask the seller for return policy.

Absolutely perfect for two. My grandsons, 4 & 2 share all the time. They are both pretty wiggly but there is really no problem. It has been a safe & comfy & familiar, fun place for them to sleep while camping or visiting. We love it.

I bought 3 of these, we have 1 in the living room that operate 3 different items, the 2nd one is in my husband's office/bedroom and operates 3 different items and the 3rd one is in our bedroom and operates another 3 different items. Never had a problem with any of them, they are independent of each other.

My son and I each have one. We have had no problems with either of them. If you're having trouble with yours, I suggest you contact the manufacturer.

I actually bought 2. One for my daughter and one for myself. No problems with either one.

We had the baby unit in my 86 year old mom's house which was right across the street from our house.We had two monitors and it worked beautifully. She would just need to talk to me and I could go to the monitor and push the button to answer her.

Same problem here. I had it happen with two of the units over a 4 year period. Not going to fool me again.

Our company has had a unit since February 2013. It gets used every day by around 30 plus people and works great. We have had no problems at all with this unit. Got another one in April 2013 and it also is working great. I know have 2 more coming for otherdepartments. Hope this helps you.
