Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Rainforest Peek-A-Boo Leaves Musical Mobile
Customer Review: Invaluable
Summary: 5 Stars
Our daughter relies on this mobile to fall asleep every night and at each nap time. Even when she's fussy and fighting sleep, the mobile almost always draws her in even when I expect her to know better than to fall for its mesmerizing powers. And when she's playful and awake, she happily watches it, kicking her legs, until she burns off her excess energy and dozes off. It's almost like a friend to her, comforting her when she's left alone to sleep.
This past weekend we were away from home and were without the mobile for one of the first times in her life (she's 7 mos.). It took hours to get her to sleep, despite being obviously exhausted and despite having a different soothing toy there with her. It was so obvious she was looking for it whenever we tried to lay her down. The night we got home, she was overtired but seemed so relieved to be reunited with her mobile. She dozed off without a peep. I guess the only downside is that obviously she might be too reliant on it, but if it means having a baby go down easily on a regular basis, I'm okay with that.
Customer Review: Great crib mobile!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this mobile because of the reviews and because it looked bright and colorful online. I was hesitant at first because my daughters bedding is pink/brown and not a rainforest theme, however, she absolutely loves it. The moving leaves and colorful animals really draw her eyes to the unit and she will sit there and study it for seemingly forever. The music is pretty standard - classical, and it features a rainforest-like sound of crickets and frogs, birds, etc. The only feature I was disappointed in was the light. I was under the impression that the light on the main unit that attaches to the crib was more dramatic. It is just a bulb that shines light through the base. Not much to look at so my daughter really only cares about it during the day when she can actually see it. Otherwise at night, it's good for the music and rainforest sound.
Anyhow, I still think this is a great mobile and would recommend it to all. Oh, and it comes with a remote activator so you can turn it on while in bed or at the nursery door! It is a nice feature.
Customer Review: Excellent Mobile
Summary: 5 Stars
I registered for this mobile to attach to my daughter's crib. I didn't use it for a while but have started to recently. Every morning when she wakes up and when she wakes up from her naps, I find her happy and smiling in her crib staring up at the animals hanging from the mobile. She loves them! Now that she is alert and aware of her surroundings, she can see them and keep herself entertained and happy. Instead of being notified that she is awake by hearing crying, I hear happy noises which makes getting her up from her crib a wonderful experience.
At nighttime, I have recently started putting her down when she is sleepy but awake and fussy. I turn the mobile on with the Bach music setting and she lays there listening and watching until she falls asleep on her own. I have successfully gotten her to fall asleep at naptime this way with just playing the music. The movement seems to keep her up during the day.
The remote seems like a great idea but I have not had to use it yet. I just wish they made a travel mobile!
Customer Review: Simply wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
Love, love, love this mobile. I just got my new Rainforest mobile in the mail today and immediately put it together and set it up for my 2 month old son. He loves it! I had to get a new mobile because the one I bought to match my crib set was a pain to wind up every couple minutes... So I searched for something that played on it's own.
I was deciding between this mobile and the "Tiny Love" mobiles but ultimately went with this one because it had a light, remote, a longer timer, is battery operated, and cheaper! I also read the reviews of both and I agree that the speed on this one is just perfect, as is the music, sounds, and the volume. I also read on reviews for the "Tiny Love" mobile that people had problems with it falling on their baby, but the Rainforest mobile seems to be very strong and sturdy and I made sure to put it together exactly like the directions tell you to.
I also think the animals and moving leafs are so adorable. Great choice for me! And my baby loves it as much as I do!
Customer Review: Can't Use if Your Top Rail is > 3 & 3/4"
Summary: 2 Stars
I wish there had been some way to tell before ordering, but this mobile will not fit your crib if your top rail is any bigger than about 3 and 3/4 inches tall. There is a plastic lip on the upper back side of the mobile that is supposed to rest on the top of your crib rail - no problem so far - but there is also a lower lip a few inches down. If your rail doesn't fit between these two lips, you can still tighten the clamp, but the mobile won't lay flat against the crib, and it could easily be bumped and fall on the baby and/or scratch the crib. I have the Babyletto Mercer crib, and the top rail is just about 1/4" too tall for the mobile.
It is too bad because it is a wonderful mobile - I loved the bright colors, adorable animals, leaf movement, and musical choices (though the rainforest one was especially quiet). The music is not grating, static-y, or tinny sounding like so many baby products. If there were any way I could keep this, I would. Hopefully, I can find a similar one that attaches differently.
