Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Rainforest Peek-A-Boo Leaves Musical Mobile
Customer Review: My Twins LOVE this Mobile!
Summary: 5 Stars
We received this mobile as a gift and starting using the white noise/music player when our twins were about 1 month old and still sleeping in our room in a CoSleeper (we put the music player in a side pocket as it cannot be attached to a CoSleeper). When we transitioned the boys into a crib in their own room, the mobile really helped them to calm down and sleep. The toys on the mobile caught their attention from the first time we started using the mobile attatchement, around 2 months. They really distract a crying baby and help lull him to sleep! We had no problems at all attaching the mobile securely to the side of the crib. We use the music for naps during the day and the rainforest noises for night time, both on the low volume setting. The night light makes just enough light for the baby to be able to see the toys at night but not be kept awake. The mobile also helps the babies wake up happy, we come in the room to them smiling at and talking to the toys. The remote is nice when the boys are almost asleep and just need a little more white noise, I keep it hanging on the nursery door knob. We bought a second of this mobile when the boys got too big to share a crib because we liked it so much!Customer Review: Good Idea - Bad Product

Fisher Price Rainforest Peek-A-Boo Leaves Musical Mobile
The Product idea is good...But the execution is bad...Considering the price paid, I thought I was getting a good quality product...But, the fully assembled set does not work as mentioned...
The remote did not work when the batteries were inserted. My wife had to open the remote and re-establish the connection between the Outer remote button and the internal switch on the circuit board to get it working...
Of the 3 upper leaves designed to flap up and down only 2 of them work as functioned...The Third always get's stuck on the "up" flap...When the flap comes down, it does so with a sudden jerk and a very annoying sound, which can be scary for the baby instead of soothing.
We set up this Musical Mobile with the hope that when the baby arrives everything will be ready but the musical mobile has already started giving us problems....I selected this product considering the brand, Fisher Price...But it turned out to be a disappointed...
I do not recommend this product to any one.
Customer Review: Very disappointed

This mobile didn't even last two weeks. It stopped turning around when the motor stopped working. When I called Fisher Price they were not helpful at all. They wanted me to pay to return it to them and then wait 6 to 8 weeks for the replacement to show up in the mail. I fought them about it an they agreed to pay for the shipping. Now I have to wait 6 to 8 weeks for the replacement and hope that one works. By then my son missed out on so much time he could have been enjoying it. He loved it for the two weeks it worked and then I had to take it away from him to get it replaced. It's so upsetting. Reading reviews for all the mobiles I find that the motors seem to brake on all of them. I bought my son a toy aquarium from Disney's Baby Einstein that lights up, plays music and ocean sounds and has movement as a replacement for the mobile. He really likes that. I would recommend buying something like that and not spend the money on a mobile with a motor. A stationary colorful mobile that gives a baby something to look at above there head would be nice also. It would be cheaper than buying one with a motor and you don't have to deal with the motor braking.Customer Review: My son loves it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bough this mobile even before my son was born, and I played it to him since the very fist day. At first, I played the rainforest sounds only; I thought the melodies were kinda sad. However, when my son was about 2 months old, I started playing the melodies as well, to attract his attention. He would stare at it with delight and kick his legs in excitement. Even now, when he's 6 months old, it still catches his eye;although now he prefers being held up high to be able to touch the toys attached to the mobile.
I don't agree that it's not loud enough. The quieter mode is great to use in the evening, and the louder mode was just enough for us. Also, I don't know how often you people play the mobile during the day, to complain that you need to change batteries all the time. I have had the mobile for a little over 6 months and I change batteries twice! (Maybe those of you who complain about it should take your baby out of the crib sometimes and spend time with him, instead of making him listen to the mobile melodies all the time?!!)
The bottom line is that I loved it, and what is more, my son loved it! It's a great mobile worth it's price.
Customer Review: Good Buy!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This mobile has smoothing, soft music and slow motion which was the main factor for purchase. It's not too loud and won't keep a baby ((or you)) awake. The light it gives off isn't too bright. The mobile not only rotates 3 small, plush animals but raises and lowers 3 leaves. In a dark room a child won't be able to see the motion even with the night light feature on. It only plays for 18 minutes. Which is good and bad. Good: plays just long enough for a tired child to fall asleep before turning off. Bad: doesn't play long enough and upsets the child if it turns off. The remote is nice but only works if it's been on very recently. You can't start the mobile with the remote. Battery life seems good.
This is not designed for a soft-sided crib or playpen (which is what we originally had as our child's bed for the first few months). It's also not designed to fit on a very thick/wide crib rail. I was considerate of this fact when I finally bought a full size crib recently. I still had a little trouble mounting the mobile as the 'screw' part was far too long and I had to cut a couple of inches off so the crib could sit closer to the wall.
