Baby Products Reviews of Munchkin iCrib Sound System, Colors May Vary
Customer Review: Great product. One glitch...
Summary: 3 Stars
I love this product but have one complaint that no one seems to mention in their reviews. The concept of a timer (15/30/60 minutes) is great. However, the machine turns off but fails to shut down the iPod causing it to continue to run long after the sound machine has shut off. I have to remember to sneak into my son's dark room, find the correct button on my iPod (by feel, which is difficult with a practically buttonless iPod). Thus, due to the extended 'play' time, I am having to constantly recharge my iPod lasts only about 2 uses. Poor design. Automatic shut off should shut off iPod unit too, to preserve charge-life! Other than that, GREAT product. Sound is good, volume adjustment is perfectly fine.Customer Review: watch the straps
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this item for my godson who loves music. I first put it on his playpen and he was really happy with it. The only problem was when I tried to attach it to the crib I found that the straps were too short. The crib has a 2-3 inch ledge at the very top. I contacted Munchkin customer service and although they responded quickly, they were not very helpful at all. In fact, I was told to go and get longer straps:( Seems like it needs to be more versatile to fit wider cribs. Also, I am a little concerned that a very active baby could get to the mp3 player on the other side (not very secure). overall, a great concept. I would love to see an updated version to address these concerns.Customer Review: Nifty Baby Gadget!
Summary: 4 Stars
If you have an ipod or mp3 player, I'd recommend getting this. I think the baby is going to love it! I bought it last week, and tested it out (our baby hasn't been born yet). The speakers are plenty loud enough for a baby's crib or room IMO, and I'm 1/2 deaf. I also like the little nightlight on it that changes color.
My only criticism is that it takes batteries (no AC adapter). We may invest in a rechargeable set of batteries if it uses batteries up quickly. For $20, I think it's great!
Customer Review: More than expected
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this iCrib to replace an older crib system that broke (not Munchkin). I also wanted something more "big boyish" since my son will be two shortly.
The product is well made, with wonderful planning on how the iPod (any generation) fits securely into the back. It has an option to have a nightlight on with the music, which my son finds quite amusing.
5 stars for the iCrib. Munchkin continues to impress me on their quality, yet fairly inexpensive, items.
Customer Review: Nice, but some problems
Summary: 3 Stars
The iCrib is a good idea, but I agree with others that the lack of an AC power source is a big drawback. When the batteries run down, the unit emits a loud buzzing sound -- not good for a sleeping baby! I thought it might be just the one I had and got a replacement, but the second one did the same thing. I don't really use the light feature. Even with the problems, I still use it every night and it seems to help put my little one to sleep.
