VTech - Baby Tunes Music Player
This is a wonderful toy! Our baby was born with Down's Syndrome and by the time he was two months old he had already figured out how to turn the toy on by pushing the large buttons (easily pushed by a baby who has weak muscles, a condition typical to Downs babies) or by letting out a loud scream if he was swaddled and couldn't push the buttons. When he is very fussy, this is the only toy that comforts him (when mommy can't). If he cries, the toy turns on by itself and immediately entertains him. He makes the most adorable faces and noises with this toy! I think this was the fist thing he ever truly smiled at! He loves the light which turns different colors at a soothing or upbeat pace (based on the song or tune playing), and if I sing or hum a song that this toy has, he immediately smiles and recognizes it! It motivates him to move his arms and work his eye muscles which is what his therapist wants him to do. It is easy to use and has a strap on the back that allows you to attach it to a crib. The "play", 5, 10, and 15 minute settings are also great. I love what this toy has brought out in our son. He is almost four months old and has not tired of it at all. I only wish that it had a silent setting sometimes, as that light seems that it could entertain him by itself (for nighttime). Otherwise, this is a fantastic toy in my opinion as it works very well for him! I'm buying him a second one for back up!!!My apologies, I left a review on the 26 th, but I see it didn't post. Excellent service. Actually arrive Christmas Eve. Toy was bought for autistic hearing impaired daughter and she kept insisting that we check the mail on Christmas Day. We kept trying to sign to her that the mail doesn't come today. Finally to get her to stop harassing us, my husband took her out to get the mail. To all of our surprise, there was her gift. I guess with all the partying doing-going stuff on the eve, she forgot to get the mail too. This gift totally rocked her day. Thanks again.I like all the modes except for the sing along one because the woman's voice isn't great, and the words to a lot of the songs are wrong compared to what is commonly taught at schools, on TV, etc. I just don't use that mode. The timer is a great feature as well.
