 Quirky, FUNctional and durable! |

This mobile is great! It is age appropriate, FUNctional and not a clone of all the other "whimsical" mobiles that are out there. This quirky one fit the bill for us. Our baby loves it! After he could reach it, we removed the mobile portion and he still listens to the music. And since the buttons are easy to press, he can turn it on himself! I guess this feature could also be considered a drawback!;)
In my opinion the bright colors would be appropriate for a boy or a girl (the animals do have pink accents but not an overwhelming amount). We were a little concerned that our baby would have a somewhat distorted understanding of animals since the animals look so funky - definitely not the traditional Old Macdonald stuff! But that doesn't seem to be a problem and he was mesmerized by it, so that works for me! The batteries last a long time and the volume control is another nice feature. Also, the classical music has a relatively good sound quality.
This was also very durable, because even with moving the "arm" of the mobile around several times a day and my baby pulling on the animals before we moved it out of his reach, all was still well on the farm!

| This mobile is amazing. From the time she was 6 weeks old, my daughter was mesmerized by the motion and the music. She loves watching the animals and can be left in her crib for up to 45 minutes simply glued to the mobile. Although it can be noisy, it doesn't seem to bother her and she often falls asleep at night to the sights and sounds. A MUST for any nursery. |
A volume trick - great mobile

| Really attractive animals and great mobile. Also, for those of you complaining that you can't turn off the volume I figured out that if you stick the volume right in between high and low the volume turns off and it still spins. There is no setting for this but it works like a charm. Its otherwise simple, cute and easy to install. |
Awesome mobile, a little higher would be nice

My baby loves this mobile! He has been totally riveted by it since the beginning. So much so that in the beginning, I would put him down in the crib when he was sleepy and with the mobile off, he was so busy looking at the colors and shapes that he wouldn't go to sleep and would get re-energized! Now that it is "old hat", (he's 6 months) he still loves to look at it and watches it closely but he will go to sleep. The only thing I would change about this mobile is the height. Since it is a rather large mobile and the critters hang down pretty far, it is a little tricky to maneuver the baby to get him in and out of the crib without hitting his head on the mobile pieces. If the pieces didn't come down quite so low or if it had adjustable height, that would make things a little easier.
It's a really interesting mobile. You can almost see the little minds growing! It may not match the nursery colors or theme (kinda looks like Dr. Seuss) but the baby will love it and that's what it's about! |
So far so good!

| I returned 2 Fisher Price mobiles because they either broke after a month or were defective from the start. SO, my little one was in desperate need of a good, working mobile. I paid a little more for this one, and it doesn't have lights or a remote but it WORKS, she is mesmerized and it only takes a few AA batteries (not the 4 D batteries the FP ones require)! This is a great product as it does what its supposed to do. |
