5.0 out of 5 stars
Far better than the Ocean Wonders aquarium, January 4, 2005
This review is from: Fisher-Price Soother Flutterby Dreams (Baby Product)
I saw this MONTHS ago at Target and my daughter fell in love. We have several items from the Ocean Wonders line including the one for the crib and the bouncer. She has loved her fish but these birds are her new favorite.
The movement of the birds is realistic, it reminds me of the animatronics of the Disneyland charachters on their rides. There is a tree with three birds that "fly" while they chirp and sing. The singing isnt annoying as you might think with a bird toy. And there is so much more movement and interest in this than with the Ocean Wonders Aquarium.
What I really love about this is its added feature of a display on the ceiling. Those of us who remember the older version of the Ocean Wonders Aquarium that was known as "Peaceful Planet" it had a light display for the ceiling. Well now there is an option again!
This is a great crib toy (that can also be set on a counter when babe is older) that will entertain your baby without being too stimulating.
There is also a mobile available but I really prefer this product. I hope they make more items for this line.

Very cute, but not much better than the Aquarium, February 28, 2005

This review is from: Fisher-Price Soother Flutterby Dreams (Baby Product)
I bought this because my daughter enjoyed her Aquarium crib toy for so long, that I thought she would like birds for a change, and it had such good reviews.
It's very cute, but I think the aquarium one is much more soothing with the bubbles and the fish. Maybe it's me, but I think aquarium sounds are more relaxing than chirping birds.
I had to mount this on the wall side of the crib because if I mounted it on the other side, a ceiling fixture got in the way. If the crib is too close to the wall, you can't see the whole light show. Part of it is lost on the wall, so I was a little disappointed in that.
The on/off button is kind of small compared to the aquarium, and it's off to one side as opposed to in the middle. It was very easy for my daughter to just put her hand out and turn her aquarium on by herself in the middle of the night when she needed to be soothed back to sleep, but this button is hard to find by a baby.
I guess I'll keep it because it is cute, but I'm definitely leaving the aquarium in her crib too.

Great item!, September 9, 2005
This review is from: Fisher-Price Soother Flutterby Dreams (Baby Product)
I received both this and the aquarium center from fisher-price at my shower and this is by far a superior toy (at least in my daughter's eyes!). While I have never used it to put her to sleep (it's far too stimulating for that), she is now 7 months old and has really enjoyed this toy for the past 3 months, with no signs of stopping. The slide show it projects onto the ceiling is really neat (lots of bright colors) and when she's not on her back "talking" to that, she is sitting up facing the birds and intently watching thier little heads bob back and forth and circle around. Umm, that is the birds themselves that circle around and not just their heads. Anyway, I guess it's her version of TV. I like that you can adjust the volume of the music and frankly, I find this toy to be very soothing (although I'm sure sleep deprivation plays a large part in that). Definitely worth the money!
