Author's Review
I had to write a review on this mobile as I tried and tested five different ones in my babies crib. Both she and I really loved this one. The other ones had either noisy motors or the songs were annoying.
My husband and I still hum the tunes from this mobile and we put it away almost 4 months ago!! The only reason I took it off was because baby could stand up in the crib and I didn't want her to be able to pull it down.
The tunes (my favorite part) were new age like, nature tunes. It's hard to describe, but they were very easy on the ears - and very catchy. perfect for babies trying to sleep!
There are four light settings,
1. Ceiling light show and mobile-illuminating light
2. Just ceiling light show
3. Just mobile-illuminating light
4. No lights
You can also change the song that plays, which plays for a long time. I believe there were 3/4 songs to choose from.
It take 4 D batteries which seem to last quite a while depending on how long you use it.
I got this at a second hand store so I did not have the remote or any instructions and it was already assembled so I am not sure how easy it is to put together. The remote may have been a nice feature if I had it! I have also read that it converts to sit on a dresser, I didn't know that and will have to pull it out to try it. Had I known this, I would still have it set up - for the music alone!
It fit my crib fine, I have heard that it does not fit some cribs. The best way I can describe it is that it has a ledge that sits on the top horizontal rail of the crib, then you attach a "screw in" plastic ring on the bar that comes through the vertical bars to lock it in place. I did not have any problems with this (I have an older style crib)and it always stayed in place for me. A little bulky but barely noticeable when on the crib.
The only thing I didn't like is that it only plays for about 10 minutes. If I had the remote, problem may have been solved!
The sqishy fish part on the bottom (closest to baby) really doesn't do anything, I think it had water in it when it was new but since evaporated. Baby didn't really play with this part, just poked it around a bit.
The best feature for me was the music - very soothing and sometimes put me to sleep before the baby! The lights are also very nice and soothing. Of all the mobiles I tried, this is my number one choice.
