Product Description

Editorial Review

A good "whine-buster" for infants and toddlers, this versatile back seat mobile gives babies something to focus on besides who's in the driver's seat. An adjustable strap attaches to the back of passenger seats, allowing a small zoo of chiming, rattling African animals to entertain in transit. The mobile is designed to encourage cognitive connections in both babies under six months (who benefit from simple, high-contrast patterns) and older babies and toddlers (who benefit from more complex patterns and color combinations). A small mirror with a bright, sun motif adds as much interest as vanity to the car ride home. For versatility, the mobile's toy bar, and/or the animals on it, may be detached and hung from almost any surface--such as a stroller, crib, or handle of a shopping cart. Diane Beall

1.0 out of 5 stars Not that great, August 25, 2005

My son has a lot of Sassy toys and I had been looking for a toy for him to use while he was in the car seat. I saw this at the store and it looked cute, so I bought it. It was easy enough to install in the backseat, but he toys never hung right and it wasn't easy for him to play with. I ended up returning it and getting the Tiny Love Car Bar. He love the car bar and plays with it all the time. Don't waste your money!!

I bought this thinking it would be a great toy for my son. Which it would have if it were made a little better. As other reviewers stated, the bar did not attach well and the little animals would never stay on. Also, the way it's supposed to attach to the seat is not designed well either, so it didn't hang properly. I ended up just attaching the animals to a bar on the back of my front seat, but they still didn't want to stay on. It's just not worth it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good idea, poor design, January 4, 2005

This review is from: Back Seat Travel Mobile (Baby Product)

I bought this today for my 2.5 month old son because we often take day trips to see family and friends. Since we have other products by Sassy that we really like I didn't research this product before buying it. Boy, was that a mistake.

The little straps that hold the animals onto the bar are not long enough to actually hold the animal securely. One of them is so short all I have to do is barely swat at it and it comes off. Another won't stay velcro'ed at all. The bar is difficult to get attached into the holes and is also too short so the mobile itself ends up being bent over.

My son was interested in the jingling noises the animals made, but overall this is such a poor design, it's going back to the store of purchase tomorrow and I'm going to look for something else.
