- Keeps my little one occupied
This mobile may not match with your nursery,
admittedly it's gaudy looking, however my
baby girl is captivated by it. The bright
colors, black and white swirls, and movement
of the animals are enough to keep her entertained
for the 15 minute playing time. This buys
me time to grab a shower, grab a snack, take
a load of laundry out, etc... It's been a
sanity saver in our household.
I have yet to change the batteries, and
I've been using it every day for 30 minutes
(2 rounds of playing time) for the past
2 months.
I also like that the top half is easily
detachable. I remove the top half at bed-time,
so as not to over-stimulate baby when she
is trying to fall asleep.
The quality of the music sound is average.
It's nice that it's got the "real" piano
sound, and yes, it can sound "tinny" as
commented by previous reviews, but I still
haven't found a nursery mobile out there
with dolby/THX quality sound, I mean, it's
a MOBILE for goodness sakes! Try not to
hang out in the nursery when the mobile
is playing (not always practical, I know),
otherwise, those three songs will run in
your head ALL day ALL night, it can be annoying,
but for the love of the baby, I guess it's
just another thing we parents put up with!!
I'm a little disappointed that this can
only be used until baby can pull herself
up in the crib. I understand it's a safety
issue with the possibility that she could
grab it and pull it down on herself and
dangerously become entangled.
Overall, it's a worthwhile toy, it's nice
to know that there are things other than
you that can keep the baby happy and entertained,
even if only for 15 minutes.

- FRUSTRATING quality but FABULOUS CONCEPT,
love this mobile!
My baby LOVES THIS MOBILE! This is truly one
of her favorite times of the day- when I put
her in her crib for "activity" time with her
mobile. The moving shapes and swirling spirals
and spinning animals keep her cooing and laughing
outloud. The classical music is great, and
even better that it plays for 15 min. I love
how the music box detatches from the mobile
so one can still use it for the music when
the baby outgrows the mobile. However, this
has been a frustrating experience with quality-
save your receipt because I've had to take
mine back three times. The first time the
arm wouldn't latch into the hold that supports
it, the second time it squeaked so loud that
it drowned out the music, and the third time
because the on/off button wouldn't work. It
attatches fine to my crib- I have a Pali.
This is a brilliant creation, they just need
to fine-tune its quality. I'm willing to deal
with its quality quirks because my baby loves
it so much and I truly think it's a fabulous
developmental toy for her. Tiny Love products
are great overall, I'm hoping they can work
out the kinks in this one. I would DEFINATELY
recommend this product. Just save your receipt.

- GET THIS MOBILE!!!
Well, this mobile is a LIFESAVER to a newborn's
mom! At two months, my son still dislikes
being put down, but from three weeks, this
mobile would occupy his attention so I could
get things done for myself. He is starting
to enjoy it for longer and longer periods
of time--long enough for mommy to take a quick
shower, brush teeth, and get dressed.
I did return our first one because it developed
a squeak that only got worse, but Babies R
Us is really good about exchanges, even with
no receipt. The motor is a bit loud, but there
is a lot moving on this mobile at once; I
did NOT find it drowned out the music or detracted
from my son's enjoyment of the moving parts
and music in any way. (I would like to have
an option to have music off so we can listen
to other music in nursery.) Now that his field
of vision is starting to expand, he notices
it from across his bedroom during feedings,
and amazingly, he starts to smile and laugh
at his "mobile friends."
My husband actually put this item on our baby
registry because he liked the cartoon like
characters. The classical music choices (studies
show particularly Mozart)on it are supposed
to be positive in influencing an infant's
development. The music choices are appropriate,
and the volume control is a perfect feature
to adapt for bedtime or day use.
Read the insert that comes with the mobile
to learn more about the many baby stimulating
advantages that this mobile offers. I am an
early elementary teacher, and I agree with
the benefits of these features!
