About this item

  • See your baby head to toe without turning around — live video while you drive — The V-Go's wide-angle rear-facing camera mounts to the headrest and captures your baby's full body in the car seat — from head to toe — on the 2.8" color LCD viewer mounted to your vent. Watch in real time without glancing in the rearview mirror or turning around. Know your baby is safe, secure, and comfortable at every red light and on every road trip.
  • Car powered — no batteries, no charging, always ready the moment you start the car — The V-Go draws power directly from your car — no batteries to replace, no charging the night before, no dead screen on a road trip. The system powers on automatically when you start the car and powers off when you stop. Always ready, every drive.
  • Wireless between camera and viewer — no cable running across your car — The camera and viewer communicate wirelessly — no cord connecting the backseat camera to the front-seat display. The camera mounts cleanly to the headrest and the viewer docks securely to your vent. No tangled cables, no routing wires under seats.
  • Secure vent mount and headrest camera — no tools, no damage, no falling mid-drive — The viewer locks into a secure docking mount on your vent — it won't vibrate loose on bumpy roads or fall when you hit a pothole. The rear-facing camera attaches to the headrest without tools. Both mounts are designed to hold in place through normal driving, braking, and turns.

See your baby head to toe — without mirrors, without turning around.

The V-Go’s rear-facing camera captures your baby’s full body in the car seat and displays it live on the vent-mounted viewer. You see your baby’s face, position, and whether they’re comfortable — in real time, at eye level, while you drive. No rearview mirror adjustments, no reflective angles, no guessing.

The 2.8" color screen sits in your natural line of sight on the vent so checking on your

    Don't let my stars detour you.

    Ok I want to clarify the questions that affected the star ratings don't do the stars justice. This is a GREAT package for the price. No need to spend any more if you're only looking to monitor your children.1. Picture quality / 4 - No this is not an HD 4k blah blah camera, but it is GREAT quality for great value. You can see your children with no issues, although it is not "crystal clear" but it doesn't need to be. The night vision is awesome as well with no issues telling if your fussy children are playing around still.2. Battery Life / 3 - The battery doesn't last SUPER long (haven't really

    Amazing monitor!

    We have only had this monitor for a couple of days, but so far we love it!! We tried it on a whim, because there were only a handful of reviews, being that it was a new product on Amazon. The few reviews it had were fantastic, so we gave it a shot. I'm so glad we did!! We had a Summer Infant monitor for our first daughter. She is almost 4, and it still works pretty well. It's basic, but good quality. We were hoping to find another one from that company for our youngest daughter, but we couldn't find one for our needs. We tried a Motorola one instead, and it was pure garbage! The sound constant

    ❤Love it but can't add a camera even if you purchase an extra set! 😭

    I LOVE THIS CAMERA! I am a caregiver so I bought 2 of these - one for me and one for a friend - to help us monitor our patients at night. The families are either unable or unwilling to purchase these for us to use so we got them for ourselves. My friend's clients wouldn't let her use hers, so I'm going to use them both now. My client can get up at night on her own so I install and uninstall my cameras for my 48 hour shift. My client is a fall risk, has dementia and is nearly always horribly confused especially at night or whenever she falls asleep. These help me to monitor her even as I sleep

    Good quality device but there are a few minor annoyances

    I have two baby monitors, this vtech one and the Infant Optics DXR-8 Video Baby Monitor.I've used both over the past few weeks and they're both very good, but there are a couple of things that are just OK. I prefer the XDR-8.- The only feature this has that the DXR-8 doesn't is the ability to play music to the baby. I've never needed to use it.- This one can't be muted, it's a bit annoying if your baby is very noisy in general (my daughter plays quite loudly). The DXR-8 can be muted.- The user interface is not intuitive. There are three different volume controls and sensitivities that I still

    Highly recommend, so far :)

    I want to start off by saying I’ve only had this camera for one day so take my review with a grain of salt, I will try to update my review later on when I’ve had it longer.So far, I love this baby monitor. The screen is large, it doesn’t feel “cheap” at all, it feels high quality and the features it has like the lullaby’s and star projector and nightlight feature is really cool. Those three things are additional features that I won’t be using since my son is old enough that it’ll probably distract him but cool to have. I love that it has a second camera, we will set that one up when we have a

    Better than the DXR-8

    **Update** 2/6/22 Sadly the battery life on the main viewing unit has gotten worse and worse. Since my toddler wakes up soundless like a little ninja I need the video on to see her getting up. Since it comes with two video monitors, I use one of the power cords to take the parent unit wherever I am and plug it in. It would be helpful if the company gave tips on how to maintain battery life. I am guessing it is a battery type where if left plugged in too lng it starts doing more harm than good, or maybe it needs a full drain to reset or maybe it should never drain. See , I have no clue. I am go

    It’s alright, not spectacular

    I purchased this baby monitor so I could keep eyes on my toddler when we transitioned her from the crib to her “big girl bed”, and make sure she was staying in bed. This monitor allows me to do that. The picture quality is not great, but good enough that I can see whether she is in bed or not which was the main motivator for buying it, so this is not a huge concern for me.Some definite negatives of this product include poor battery life on the parent unit. It seems to take no time at all for the battery to be down to one bar and need to be plugged in.My biggest concern with this product is the

    The best split screen I found despite flaws

    We have a 4.5 year old and 1.5 year old and have had multiple monitors over the years (original Infant Optics Dx8, Vtech newer model) and when our other (newer model) Vtech broke after just 13 months I ordered multiple baby monitors with 2 cameras to find a good replacement. We ended up with this one, despite its flaws.Pros:-split screen with sound from both monitors (not at the same time but it monitors both and switches sound to the one that makes sound) - many monitors I tried had Split View but wouldn’t monitor both sounds at the same time, that kind of defeats the purpose of Split View if
