Bright Starts Soothing Safari Mobile

I bought this mobile before reading the reviews (which so far are leaning negative) and I'm glad I did because I probably wouldn't have bought it otherwise.

I saw other mobiles costing $40 and $50, but didn't want to pay that much. This one is inexpensive yet is quite nice and well built.

It's true that the music volume is too loud, even on the low setting. But I fixed that in less than a minute by taping a piece of cardboard (which I cut from the packaging) over the speaker hole. This part is hidden, so you can't even see the cardboard.

Somebody complained about the elephant (?) switch on the mirror. Yeah, it's a bit "squishy," but it does work, and honestly I doubt toddlers will even use it. All it does is toggle the music from song to song.

The one thing to be aware of is that this mobile can't be attached to a play yard. It will attach to virtually any crib though.

I wanted to use this mobile for a play yard, and so I built a decent stand for it out of a $2 heavy duty (Bankers Box brand) magazine file. Just cut a round hole in it, attached the mobile, and tied the tube coming from the top of the mirror to the opposite end of the box with string in order to give it support (keep it up straight). Then put a 5 lb weight in it. I set the box on a end table sitting next to the play yard. It works great!

Our baby loves this mobile. It plays music for a long time, and we have never had to change the batteries in the 8 months we have been using it (unlike our first baby's mobile, which needed new batteries monthly). We like the feature that allows us to remove the arm, and toys, but keep the base attached to the crib so the baby can fall asleep to the music even after she has outgrown the mobile (pulls the toys off, etc).

I'm yet to figure out what it is, but from 2 months old till now at 6 months old my son is just totally fascinated by this very simple crib mobile. So much so that even when you don't turn it on he just lies there looking at it laughing and making those noises babies make when they are well entertained.

This was definitely a GREAT!!! buy.

My baby likes to look at the objects but I think there are a few cons: it doesn't attach to my pack n play, you cannot turn it without music playing and the objects just turn but only really move when you hit them. It is cheap though.

When i first got this i was really excited about it. my 3 month old baby loves it and so is my 2 yr old girl. one time I left my 3 month old on the crib, she was admiring the mobile. then my 2 yr old got a chair and reach out for the mobile she must have got curious at the blue button before the head of the mobile and press it. the head of the mobile immediately got ejected from the curved part of the toy and fell on the crib. thank god my 3 month old baby was not directly under the mobile.
