The First Years Nature Sensations Dreams In Sight Mobile

This mobile is an excellent choice. It has two settingday and night. The day setting allows the canopy to spin to four very different "songs" and the night setting has the day features with the added light show. It projects onto the canopy and spins in the opposite direction of the toys hanging from the canopy. It is very soothing for my 1 month old daughter. One of the best features of this mobile is the remote control for parents. The music and lights will play for around 10 minutes. If your child is not to sleep yet and needs more music to lull them to sleep, simply press the button on the remote (hanging on your child's door knob) and the mobile starts up again. It is fantastic. They don't even have to know you are checking on them! There is one other feature I forgot to mention. There is a volume button with two settings. I use both. This product is sturdy and very well made. The assembly was not difficult and I would definitely recommend it. By the way, there is no winding involved with this mobile. Just press a button and it's spinning!

UPDATE 1/8/2011: I just pulled this mobile out of storage for use with my third baby due in April and it's still working just as great as it did day 1. My second child also loved it and it was used frequently with both him and my daughter who was born in 2005 when I wrote the original review. I have yet to replace the lightbulb either.

ORIGINAL REVIEW 12/2005: As someone who has extensively researched every baby item before buying it, I was a bit reluctant to buy this mobile since it's new and I couldn't find a single review on it. It was so cute though that after spending months finding the best crib sheets and the right diaper bag, I had to take the plunge and purchase it.

The mobile was very easy to asemble. So easy, my boyfriend and I were able to put it together while I was in early labor. It only takes five minutes tops to get it up and runningif you don't have to go digging around the house for a screwdriver.

One of the big things I love about this mobile is it runs for 10 minutes and shuts itself off. Another major plus is the remote that comes with it. The remote only shuts it on and off, you cannot switch songs or turn the projector on and off with it, but it's still very handy!

Our daughter is almost 4 weeks old and she can't really focus on it well yet, however her eyes do try to look up at it and the nature sounds sooth her to sleep. With four weeks of constant use, the four D batteries are just now starting to die. For the use we've put into it, and the extra hours of sleep it's given us, this mobile it worth the money we've put into it!

UPDATE-

My daughter is 7 months old now and hardly sleeps in her crib. When she does lay in it though, she likes to watch the bugs go by and has shown favoritism towards the bee. I like that the mobile doesn't eat batteries. Now that she is starting to pull herself up, we had to take the mobile off, however, you can leave the green base part on the crib so it plays music stillanother plus!

One odd thing to notewe have digital cable and our digital cable remote when I hit the menu button sometimes turns the mobile on. It does this probably 1 out of 10 times. It was funny the first few times because we thought it was going on by itself... but now it's just annoying.

I really like this mobile and so does my little girl (5 weeks old). I read the review that said it was poorly made but mine works just fine. The animals are really bright colored and cute on it and they face downward so the baby can see their faces instead of their butts the whole time. Also, the light show is within her range of sight. Many mobiles project on the ceiling but little babies can't see that far. The 4 music selections are pretty good too. It's just repetitious enough to calm her down but I haven't gotten annoyed with it yet. And with two volume settings, it's nice for when she's almost asleep. Plus, the overhead part comes off of the music box for the day when she's too old for that part but would still like the music. There is no winding things up and the remote is a nice extra feature. By the way, it's easy to put together also.

I researched lots of mobiles trying to find just the right one. I knew that I wanted one with lights b/c my husband and I thought that would be a pretty cool feature. In my research I found out that most people didn't like the mobiles with lights b/c they hardly showed up (because they project on the ceiling) so when I saw this mobile with the lights shining on the canopy I decided to give it a try. The picture shown above does not do it justice it has bright colors, the mobile arm moves which is great when you are changing crib sheets, the lights are bright on the canopy without disturbing my son or keeping him from falling asleep, the different music and nature sounds are perfect and include volume control. All in all we are very glad we ended up with this mobile. I have not had any trouble with it and my son is 4 mo. old now. I would say this is a wonderful product for the price and you can't go wrong with it!!!

Shortly after turning this on in the night mode (with the lights), I heard a continuous clicking and it stopped spinning. I had to coax it along with my hands. This happened over and over until I took it back and exchanged it. The second mobile had the exact same problem so it went back for a refund. It's too bad -if it were made well it would be a nice mobile. FOr $40 you'd think the product would at least work for a couple of days!
