5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta have this mobile, October 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Deluxe Music In Motion Developmental Mobile W Remote (Baby Product)

This mobile is one of the best purchases we made for the baby. My son is now 5 months old and has enjoyed it all along. We started with the John Lennon mobile to match the nursery. Didn't like it-you had to wind it up, it only played one song and that was very short. I like that the Sassy mobile is remote controlled, has 3 different songs/music and it plays for about 10 minutes. The ocean waves lul him to sleep and the other 2 songs entertain him during play time. The interchangeable attachments stimulate my son at the appropriate developmental stages. Now that he is at the second stage, the stuffed animals that you start with are now his toys. The arm of the mobile swings side to side so you can move it out of the way if needed during diaper/clothing changes. The fact that the mobile rotates slowly and pauses gives the baby a chance to follow and then focus on the mobile, which is good for eye development. I thought about the "symphony in motion" by the same company but read that the mobile had fallen for alot of people or pieces had come apart. This hasn't been the case with the "Deluxe Developmental mobile" and we couldn't be happier with it. For all that it has to offer, you can't beat the price. It is cheaper than the mobiles that "match" the nursery theme/decor. This mobile "matched" my son's needs.

This is a fantastic mobile. My 2 month old really loves it. She smiles at it...big smiles and monkey noises and even
laughter. This mobile can entertain her happily for about 20-30 minutes without my presence. This is an awesome accomplishment for a two month old. I started with the simple geometric shapes. These caught her eye and she watched it intensely. When I changed it to the animal faces, she started really cooing and smiling and making happy squeaks. The animals have very big eyes, which I think infants can see well from the laying down in crib position. The animals look happy, bright and friendly.

I would recommend this mobile for any infant's enjoyment. I would also suggest that if you want the time to be able to take a shower, or heat up a cup of coffee...buy a mobile that is bright and colorful and skip the "perfect" mobile to fit your decor. This mobile will run for a long time and you don't have to keep winding it up. My daughter's room is "princess" themed...but that matters little to her at this stage. I put the decorative wind-up mobile I received as a gift on my daughter's changing table. There it matters little that I have to wind it up a couple of times because I'm detained by a dirty diaper.

The Sassy mobile also pivots quite easily. I have used this feature when taking pictures of my little one. I set her Boppy pillow in the crib (against the back rail) and throw a nice blanket over it and the back rail. I then sit my cutie pie in the Boppy pillow and turn on the mobile. After she starts to smile I quickly move the mobile to the side and snap a great picture. Nothing to date has been more effective at getting her to smile for a photo!

One minus for me is the quality of sound. It sometimes warbles and sounds "tin-ey." I thought it was bad batteries...but after a change it still occurs occassionally. This doesn't bother my daughter at all though, but I doubt I will use the "music box" feature when I must dismantel the mobile at 5-6 months. I also haven't needed to use the remote feature because I use it as an activity station. It makes her happy and alert, not sleepy. I turn it on and she is so delighted she doesn't even notice I have slipped off to eat Bon Bon's and lavish myself in spa treatments (OK...brush my teeth and make a bottle or two) ;o).

This review is from: Deluxe Music In Motion Developmental Mobile W Remote (Baby Product)

My wife and I recently purchased this for our 2-month-old daughter and we've been sleeping peacefully ever since. Different tunes, interchanging mobile pieces, and a remote control earn this one high praise. Considering that other mobiles we looked at only had one song, no remote, and 4 dangling items that didn't change, opting to spend the few extra bucks for this model made perfect sense.

Granted, the nursery medley gets a little grating, but it's not designed for grown up ears. Our baby lights up whenever she hears it, and the "Ocean Wave" puts her out at night when we're ready to sleep. The animals and the four reversible faces have rattles to entertain a baby when they're not attached, which is a neat bonus, considering that we just wanted a mobile.

It took a few minutes to get the remote working, but all I had to do was screw in the cover tightly and it came to life easily. Other than that, I had this opened, assembled, and working in about five minutes.

I highly recommend this mobile, as it offers a lot of stuff for a decent price. It keeps my baby amused and soothes her to sleep, which fits the description of a perfect mobile in my book. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to get some sleep myself....
