Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Rainforest Peek-A-Boo Leaves Musical Mobile
Customer Review: Very entertaining, wish it fit better
Summary: 4 Stars
I love all the features of this mobile. The green leaves go up and down as it spins, the main panel lights up, and there are four different choices for song/sounds. I like that it's battery powered. My older son's mobile required cranking, and only stayed on for about 3 minutes. I also like that you can turn it on by remote, maybe giving yourself a few more minutes before the baby sees you and wants out!
The only negative so far is that it doesn't fit well on our crib. We have a sleigh-style crib, and it won't fit on any curved surface. I had to put it on the front rail (straight), but ours is pretty thick, so the clamp can't fit fully around the rail. It is on there, but not as well as it should be. It also pitches forward sort of awkwardly because it's not clamped right.
Customer Review: Nice but stopped working properly
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall, this is a very nice mobile; however, it stopped working properly after just a couple months. Because of that fact, I would not recommend it.
Pluses
- My son quite likes it -- not as much as the Haba Flutterbys mobile, but well enough. He was about two months when we got it and is five months now.
- The animals are bright and engaging.
- The rainforest sound is very pleasant.
Minuses
- Stopped working properly after maybe two months. It gets stuck and makes a grinding sound until I give it a push (defeating the purpose of having the mobile - to entertain my son for a few minutes so I can do something else). It is not the batteries.
- The classical music setting are pretty tinny - but my son still seems to like them OK.
Customer Review: Motor failed after a while
Summary: 2 Stars
My baby enjoyed this mobile. There was a period (when he was 2-3 months old) when he would stop crying and kick excitedly whenever we placed him in his crib and turned the mobile on. But after about 3 months of not-too-heavy use, the motor started making a whirring noise, and would struggle to turn. We replaced the batteries several times (which did not fix the problem), and decided to put up with the whirring noise and the slowness. It finally stopped turning at all after 6 months. I disassembled it, and found that it was cheap plastic construction, which relies on a thin rubber band to rotate the whole assembly. I cleaned the plasticky gunk from the belt-wheel (another plastic piece), but shortly after being reassembled, the mobile slowed down again. It's going in the trash.Customer Review: Rainforest Mobile is Awesome

Fisher Price Rainforest Peek-A-Boo Leaves Musical Mobile
I bought this for our house so that when my grandson comes to visit, he will have a mobile to sleep by. When my daughter brought him over, she loved it so much that I bought her one and she gave away the one she already had. There are some cool features on this mobile. For example, it has a remote control for turning it on and off. This way, you don't have to enter the room and disturb the sleeping baby. Also, it has a rainforest sound of crickets and other creatures that I find to be very relaxing (there are classical music sounds as well). It has adjustable volume controls and the leaves go up and down. You can tell it is well made and will last for years. I highly recommend this mobile.
Customer Review: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this mobile!
Summary: 5 Stars
Did I mention I LOVE this mobile....more importantly my daughter LOVES this mobile. After buying an endless supply of baby things to occupy my daughter even long enough to get the bottles washed, it all comes back to this mobile. She is mesmerized by it and has a kicking good time in her crib because of it. I don't have volume issues like others here, and the selection of music is great--although she seems to prefer Beethoven :) In fact, if a ruckus is being heard from that direction, nine times out of ten it is because the music/motion has stopped. A simple re-start does the trick. I am serious. I can get as much as an hour to do things around the house. This is worth every penny, and knowing what I do now about it, I would have paid double!
