Editorial Review

This play station bar offers babies loads of sensory stimulation when strapped to the front of an infant carrier (attaches with Velcro straps). The spinning panda bear, double link chain, twirling rattle, and flipping mirror are all easy for babies to reach and spin. Press the nose on the revolving bear and it plays a whirring electronic rendition of "Teddy Bear's Picnic."

Most babies will lack the eye-hand coordination to successfully trigger the music. (An adult tester had to grasp the spinning bear with one hand while pressing on the nose with the other.) Fortunately, this means it won't be accidentally set off and startle a drowsy or sleeping baby. (Or be played so much that it overstimulates babies.) Bear in mind that this is not intended for use in moving vehicles or in a baby's crib. --Hannah Reynolds

1.0 out of 5 stars Bright and Stimulating BUT...., February 22, 2003

This item just didn't fit well on any of our baby seats. In baby's infant carrier, when strapped on it came too close to baby's face. If you tried to attach it to the very top (as the photo on the package shows,) then it is too FAR away from baby for him to reach. Maybe it was designed too long ago with out-dated seats/carriers. We bought it of course because of the primary black, white and red stimulating colors and patterns, but you can't utilize it if it won't fit on the intended baby seat! My suggestion to the manufacturer would be an extra ridgid bracket that could be used optionally to help place the toy bar farther or closer to baby's head and face, depending on your car seat/carrier type.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining for the Price, March 1, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Infant Carrier - Musical Toy Bar (Toy)

I bought this for my daughter because it looked like fun. I strapped it on the carseat handle and also an the legs of the baby swing. As she was swinging she would bat at it. You do have to wrap the straps around the carseat handle at least twice or it will fall down in the babies face. For the price it provided enough entertainment.

i bought this toy b/c 1 it was [inexpensive] 2 it was black, red, and white to stimulate my sons eyes 3 it came w/ a spinning rattle, mirror, plays music, and has toys to bat at. but when i put it on the carseat handle my son would just look at it for a few minutes... then hed bat at it and b/c its made of hard plastic hed start crying b/c he hurt himself. how i keep it just out of his reach and play the music. i recommend getting the sunny safari mini-mobile instead. i also own that and my son adores it.
