3.0 out of 5 stars Great Mobile but Dangerous, May 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Tiny Love Symphony-in-Motion Remote Mobile (Baby Product)

We love this mobile and so does our 5 month old son. He squeals with delight whenever it is turned on. However, I was horrified when, like some others, he awoke crying at 3 AM one morning (he was 3 1/2 months old then). When I went to check on him, I saw that the whole assembly with the animals and beads had fallen on his head! I was very upset. He had the string wrapped all around his wrist as well. We reattached the mobile the next day (I left it out of his crib that morning) because we thought maybe it had just come loose for some odd reason and it was a fluke. To my shock, it fell again a few days later, although he was not in his crib.

I contacted Tiny Love via e-mail and they told me that they had received similar complaints and that one of two things were happening:

1) People were not holding in the little button when attaching the animal assembly to the 'arm'. If you don't hold the button in the whole time it can fall like this.
2) Sometimes the little piece of plastic inside the 'arm' where it attached can chip and break, causing it not to lock into place.

Tiny Love did say they would send me a new one at no charge so I gave them my name and address. Three weeks went by and I had not received it so I sent a follow up e-mail. A week later we received our new parts (it came with a new arm and the hanging assembly). If we had not had this problem, I would have given this product a 5+ star rating. However, be very careful when you install it, and check it frequently to ensure it is not coming loose. We installed the new one that we just got a couple of weeks ago and no problems yet. Ours had chipped on the inside so it was not snapping into place and that is why it fell.

Clever design, very interesting and attractive to our baby. Probably be a heck of purchase, if you aren't troubled by the three negatives we experienced....

(1) We own a Morigeau-Lépine crib with curved rails on its sides and rear. Though it was not apparent on the box or advertisements, this mobile simply cannot be safely mounted on cribs with curved rails without extensive modification to either the crib or the mobile. I will go so far as to say that for all practical purposes this mobile can only be mounted on cribs with horizontal rails. If your crib doesn't, then you're out of luck (of course you can disable the drop-front to your crib in order to make use of its horizontal rail, but that seems like a rather drastic solution to make the mobile work).

(2) The music produed by the mobile is surprisingly high quality for an infant's gizmo. But there are only two volume settings: loud and medium. No real "quiet" setting.

(3) The mechanical spinning motion on our model broke after ten minutes. I am not exagerrating: ten minutes tops, with no rough handling. Not sure if it was an electrical or a mechanical failure, but the bottom line is that it doesn't work anymore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it (and true: the remote is really not that necessary!), December 17, 2003

This review is from: Tiny Love Symphony-in-Motion Remote Mobile (Baby Product)

My two cents about this fantastically designed mobile by the Tiny Love folks: our two-month old gets "hipnotized" by the figures SO MUCH, that the truth is he stops noticing anything else aruond him. This is why the remote is not that big of a deal: he doesn't really mind if you come in or out of the room, and as a matter of fact, he even loves the mobile if it's stopped. As for the figures, they are very colorful and well designed too... and the elephant is just too funny, twisting like crazy because of his extra weight).

All in all, a highly recommended mobile (any Tiny Love), but if you want to save a few bucks ($10 I think it is), skip the Deluxe version and get the regular one.
