Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Rainforest Peek-A-Boo Leaves Musical Mobile
Customer Review: Great product but maybe not for every baby
Summary: 4 Stars
We originally bought this mobile in 2007 for our now 3yr old daughter, she LOVED it so much that we left it up until she could unscrew it from the crib (about 15mths). The music is perfect for soothing very soft & slow and the motion is engaging enough to grab their attention but subtle enough to lull them to sleep. Also the battery life is decent, in use every night & 2 naps a set of batteries would last 4-6 months. Even after being in use that long it was still in great condition so we took it out for our son (2 months old) but he does not appear to be a fan. Possibly he'll like it as he gets older but for now even the soft music & motion is too stimulating for him and gets him worked up rather then soothed. A simple heartbeat generator w/ no motion or light soothes him best, so I would say no matter how great the product is know your child & what works for them. [BTW the 3yr old still loves it & doesn't understand why it upsets her brother!]Customer Review: Decent product but not worth the high ratings so far
Summary: 3 Stars
This crib mobile definitely attracts our baby's attention and helps him relax and sleep often.
Pros:
- Decent value for the money.
- colorful and attractive
- Easy assembly and installation
Cons:
- Not loud enough in the rainforest mode
- All tunes are dull and sleep inducing. At least one of them could have been a bit peppy
- Requires 3 D Type batteries. That's way too much. (At least it hasn't required replacement so far)
- The lights are not visible unless the room is completely dark
- It will play for 18 minutes and then stop. It's neither continuous nor customizable
- Our baby stopped watching it after 2 months. May not be useful after 4 months
Given a choice, I'd give 3.5 stars. Sells at a premium because of the brand and new parents' anxiety.
Planning to sell it on amazon marketplace or ebay, since it was used only for 2 months
Customer Review: WE LOVE iT!!!! WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!!!

I started my wild goose hunt for the perfect mobile for my 2 month old daughter and all I saw was these pastel, "just for looks" mobiles that wind up and play one song. Most of them were too pricey for just a "cute" mobile. But we wanted to find one with bright, bold colors that would grab her attention. When I saw this one I knew that this one was it. Yes it is kinda pricey, but keep in mind that all mobiles are around $20 or $30. When it arrived in the mail, I instantly hooked it up and put her in her crib. It started to move up and down and all around, and she smiled the biggest smile that we have ever seen. She started cooing and "talking" to it, and thats when we knew that it was WELL WORTH IT!!! If you are thinking about buying this for your little one then I strongly recommend it. Your child will love it...wait and see! BTW---check out the 2 pictures that we posted of our little girl in her pink room...Customer Review: One leaf clunks/sticks loudly
Summary: 3 Stars
I think this mobile is very neat looking, and sturdy. It is heavy but secured easily to our crib. Our daughter seems to like it, she is 7 months but can't crawl yet. The volume is just fine even on the lower setting for us. Our daughter isn't around a lot of loud tv or anything anyway. The rain forest sounds are a little quiet but that's okay because they are mostly crickets anyway. I love the music, it is so clear, it sounds great, all of the settings are soothing, not too fast.
I have not seen any other reviewers say this, so I am hoping we got a defective one but our mobile has one big leaf that sticks and delays coming down, and when it does it makes a fairly loud clunking noise which sometimes startles our baby. I don't think we could possibly use this mobile to help her sleep... or a future younger baby sleep. We plan on exchanging it and if our new one clunks I am not sure what we will get.
Customer Review: Love it
Summary: 5 Stars
I did a very thorough search of crib mobiles and their capabilities before I bought this one. I am very pleased with the results of this one. The mobile itself has 3 volume settings options (no sound, quiet, or louder), several music options in addition to a "rainforest" sound of birds chirping, owls hooting, and crickets making noise (my favorite setting, as it seems to sooth my 3 month old to sleep quickly), an option to have the night light on or off, and various combination options (i.e., light or no light with sound or no sound). The rainforest characters are very colorful and, in addition to the leaves going up and down, the orbital movements of the characters makes my daughter very fascinated. This mobile really started getting the quiet, peaceful attention of my daughter when she was 8 weeks old. Now at 13 weeks old, the mobile still gets used daily as she transitions off to sleep.
