I registered for this product and received it at my baby shower. I would not recommend it at all - I could never get it to clip to anything - the stroller, the bucket seat, over the bassinet, etc. And in order for the music to play you had to hit the mobile hard, much harder than my daughter could ever do. After a month or so of trying to get her to take interest in it (which she never did), I threw it in the back of my closet.

While this was cute, I couldn't get it to clip onto anything and if I was able to, it often sprung off....I did take the animals off and attached them directly to my daughter's stroller. I would not recommend spending the money on this.

The toys on this take-along arch are really cute, and they crinkle, rattle, and play music. However, the clips on the sides are just not wide enough to attach to anything I own... the stoller (Inglesina), carseat carrier (Britax), or infant seat (Fisher-Price). I can force it onto the stroller canopy, but it just either flops down or falls off altogether. And, as another reviewer wrote, there is no way that my 4-month-old can get the music to play just by batting at the toy... I have to hit it pretty hard to get it to work! My suggestion would be to try this toy out in the store before buying. Make sure it fits onto your stroller before you buy it.

I have a blue one but its the same as the purple one and it gets my son's attention when he's riding in his stroller. He likes to look at the toys hanging in there. Good product and a good choice!

My 4-month-old and I both like Tiny Love toys, but I've found that the musical parts of two of the three toys we own (this and the super deluxe gymini -- we also own the symphony in motion farm animal version) have problems with their music. With all three, the animals are adorable, with bright colors and buggy eyes, and they attract my baby's attention, and she likes to touch and hold them. She loves tummy time on the gymini, and the take along arch is great because it goes from car seat to stroller to floor without any problem (a great travel toy!). However, when the take along arch arrived, the turtle didn't play music. I replaced the batteries, and it still doesn't work (and those batteries are expensive!). There's no tape or anything in the way. It just doesn't work. It's still cute and fun, but definitely not musical.

I bought the Musical Ocean Arch for my 6 month old niece for Christmas and she loves it! The attachments keep her giggling and grabbing and she loves the music (it doesn't bother me all that much either!). It is made of a soft yet durable material. The only thing that we didn't like at first was the attachment clips- not that they don't work, it was just a matter of figuring out how they could best attach to the car seat. Overall, I would highly recommend this item!

This is the only thing my son will coo and smile at on his carseat! It hooked just fine to my infant seat. The musical crab plays music when you shake it. Even going over a bump in the road will activate it. When it plays, my son will smile at it. I love this toy. It makes riding in the car enjoyable.

I bought this to clip onto our sons carseat for the road trips we take so that he would have something to look at. First of all it wasnt green and blue like it said, it was pink purple and yellow. The arch would not stay clipped on and the tiniest bump would send it flying into our sons face. The turtle "sings" which is cute but it plays the same 10 second clip every time it hardly swings which can get annoying after a 9 hour trip! The only good thing was that my son really liked the toys hanging from it and we were able to take them off the arch and hang them onto his carseat with some colored rings that we got from Walmart. Overall we were really disappointed with this.

I read the other reviews and wanted to say that we are extremely happy with this product. We clip it onto our baby's bouncer, kind of low, so she can kick it, or sometimes higher so she can reach for it. But she's only 2 months old and barely starting to reach for things, so we'll see when she hits it with her hand. I read some people saying they have to hit it pretty hard. Maybe they can have the baby kick it until they're stronger. Our daughter loves kicking it and hearing the music. We clip it onto the canopy part of the stroller, and find ways to clip it onto other things because it really entertains her.

We got a bouncy seat with the toy bar missing, from a friend, and I looked all over for a replacement toy bar. This arch fit the seat perfectly (attached easily and securely and is the appropriate height for my daughter to play with the toys). She wasn't interested in it until she was about 8 weeks old, though, so if your baby doesn't like it before then, don't despair. Now she loves it. My only complaint is what other reviewers have said: the music doesn't work well. The songs are too short, there are only three of them, and it is impossible for her to get them to play. I have to stay right by her side to keep hitting the bar, hard, to get the music to play. Not only does this make the arch not useful as an entertainer because I can't use it to get something done in the house while she plays, but also sometimes it scares her when I whack the bar to make the music play. Not a perfect solution for us, but better than nothing.
