Lamaze Dream Screen

Our seven-week-old loves this. First, the visuals are hypnotic (at least to her). She loves watching the display cycle through the four seasons and the effect seems to soothe her.

The volume on the built-in music that comes with this is on the loud side, I guess, but everything I've ever read has told me that babies are used to noise (womb noise is louder than a vacuum cleaner) so I never thought it would keep our little one from falling asleep and it hasn't.

Meanwhile, the MP3 feature is very cool, and I made a special mix on my iPod just for our baby to listen to as she falls asleep. When you use your own MP3 player or iPod, you can adjust the volume as high or low as you'd like it because the volume on your device controls the volume on the toy.

I think other parents (and babies) would enjoy this product.

I have a 2 year old who I thought this would be perfect for. She likes soothing things to help her go to sleep. But this is not soothing. It is so loud that she can't fall asleep to it and there is no way to lower the volume. I suppose if I hooked an mp3 player up to it that I could adjust the volume on the mp3 player itself, but haven't tried it yet.

She rarely uses it (just when she and her sister are playing house).

Oh and it makes a whirring and clicking sound as the scene moves. Real annoying.

The battery is a big bulky thing that connects to the screen through the bars and with any amount of tugging on the screen the battery falls right off onto the floor. The screen also shakes and doesnt run smoothly. Not at all the quality I was expecting.

My son absolutely loves this thing. I do have to say there is one down side to this. If you have a sleigh crib with the back that curves not the sides. You have to put this on the side where you let your bar up and down. Not only does it look tacky but it's not functional there. Also, sometimes you have to tap it a little hard to get it to turn on again (with new batteries). But my son loves to watch this so I would have to say all in all it's worth the money.

I purchased this for my 4 month old grandson for a 1300 mile drive he was making with our family. We were in the car for about 11 hours a day. My goal was to give him enough different items to look at while on the long drive to keep his interest and keep in from getting bored and therefore cranky. I was able to attach this to the headrest of the seat he was in with little problems. But, he got bored with it very quickly and maybe that is the goal to help a child go to sleep.

This product plays a couple of tunes over and over again and the "scene" changes from spring, summer, fall, and winter with a light show in the background. Basically, the scene is on a scroll.

It will hook up just fine to his crib from IKEA and I am sure he will get some enjoyment out of it. The product was made well and it is actually larger than I expected.
