Baby Products Reviews of Ocean Wonders Musical Aquarium Crib Attachment
Customer Review: Why can't they get this right?
Summary: 2 Stars
We had the older model that was also round looking with two fish. My daughter loved it but the gears came off and it started clicking and the fish wouldn't move anymore. The square looking model was tacky looking to me so I was so happy to see this one now that I have a new baby b/c I thought it looked similar to the original model. The battery pack fell off the crib and broke the first time I tried to put it on. If you have a Next Generation or any other large, sleigh type crib.forget it. There is no way to attach it. I had to set it in a corner and tie the straps to the crib with fishing line. They need to make the straps way longer(test this on different types of cribs).Next problem....it needs more water in front of the toys. It is obvious they are not in the water(not a problem on the older model), it would make better bubbles too. I like the fish and the music.Customer Review: My son loves his fishies!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for my son when he was only a month old. He had been sleeping on my chest for 8 weeks and wouldn't sleep in his bassinet. But once we got his fishies he started sleeping in his bassinet. I turned them on for the first time; he watched them until the timer turn off; he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
My son is now 16 months old and we still have his fishies attached to his crib. He doesn't need them to go to sleep, but he enjoys playing with them sometimes before bed to settle down and sometimes when he wakes up first thing in the morning.
We've never had any problem with them. The music and sound choices are nice. The bubbles are a nice effect. I thought the lights were a bit too bright at first, but they have never kept him from going to sleep. If anything, they encourage him to close his eyes. I highly recommend this product!
Customer Review: Helped my baby learn to put himself to sleep
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with others who wrote that the aquarium is difficult to install because you have to really twist the strap hard to attach it to the crib. Once installed, however, I have found it to be a purchase well spent. My son is 14 months old, and I have turned it on every single time when he goes down for a nap and for the night. Initially when he was learning to put himself to sleep and I was putting him into the crib awake, he would be mesmerized by the lights and fish, so that I would be able to say good night and leave the room. When he wakes up, he plays with the different features. The battery life has been surprisingly good. I have only replaced the batteries twice. I think that if you use the first option which involves the moving pieces, the battery life may be shorter (I tend to use option 2, which is music and lights). My son and I love this aquarium.Customer Review: My baby and toddler love this soother!
Summary: 4 Stars
This soother is very nice. The display captivates my toddler and infant and the music and bubbles are nice. Unlike my Flutterbye soother (which my older daughter took with her to her big girl room), this one has a spinning crab and spinning fish so the baby can interact with it rather than stare at the soother. I do wish it had a ceiling display like my flutterbye soother, but even without the light display it is very nice.
My main complaint though is the giant battery pack in the back. It takes up a lot of space and is heavy. because our crib mattress is on the highest setting and we use a bumper we have to put the soother over the narrow side of our crib, so it is a bit higher than I would like. I prefer the design of the flutterbye soother which has the battery pack on the soother itself, rather than in some separate compartment.
Customer Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I never had the older model, so I can't say which is better. This model has three settings, the third being the one that plays music and does a light show while the fish swim around. It does this for about five minutes, and I was surprised to discover that it is more than enough time to put my 4 month old son to sleep. The motor is loud, but truthfully, it's just white noise and what's really putting your kids to sleep is the routine. My 2 year old son uses the Leap Frog Dreamscapes Soother--which we also love--but that one goes for 15 minutes in story mode (his favorite) which is way too long. And since he turns it on himself when he wakes up in the night, we burn through batteries pretty fast. I hope that because of the shorter play time we won't go through batteries as quickly with this one as our younger son gets older and learns to start it up himself.
