Description of The First Years - Crib CD PlayerWith the Crib CD Player, you are no longer limited to the same lullabies night after night. Just attach the CD Player to your baby's crib and put in the CD of your choice. It's not just for sleeping, either -- use it anytime to help stimulate or soothe your baby. Made with a child-resistant cover for safety, this CD player has a 15-minute timer and automatic shut-off. Also includes a soft-glow night light that can be left on during the night if you wish. Requires 2 "C" alkaline batteries (not included). Nothing soothes a baby into slumber like music. Now baby can have a CD player right in the crib. This battery-operated CD player attaches securely to a crib rail and also has a soft-glow night-light that can be turned on or off, making it easy to check on baby during the night. This small streamlined-looking unit has a child-resistant cover to keep control buttons out of reach of curious hands. With standard CD player controls, high-clarity speakers, and an automatic shutoff, this CD player makes it possible to play your favorite CD selections in the nursery--at bedtime, naptime, or anytime. This player may also be used as a tabletop unit once baby outgrows the crib. Although this is a great product concept, many users have found that it is quite impractical, as the slightest brush against the CD player or bump in the crib causes the CD to skip. Requires two C batteries (not included). --Deb Oroszlan
Baby Products Reviews of The First Years - Crib CD PlayerCustomer Review: MUST READ!!! Choking Accident with this product!!!! Summary: 1 Stars
Recently my daughter had a terrible choking incident and I wanted to share this with everyone that may have the item she choked on!!!!
We have a Crib CD Player w/ Nightlight by The First Years on Emma's crib. I put her down for a nap and all was well. About 1 1/2 hours later I heard Emma coughing. No big deal, right? I let her cough for a few seconds thinking she was "just coughing." I glanced over at the VIDEO monitor and saw her flapping her arms and throwing her head while coughing. I realized this wasn't a normal cough. So I began to run to her room. I found her laying in her crib, eyes and mouth wide open and her arms stiff and stretched upward. I grabbed her, turned her over my leg and started to perform back blows. After 4 or 5 back blows I looked at Emma and she was still not breathing. I flipped her back over and continued back blows. I felt like I was breaking my daughter's back.
After several more back blows I watched in disbelief as this tiny plastic piece flew out of her mouth. She then began to cry like I've never heard before. Thank you Lord!!!
Well, after calming down and making sure Emma was okay, I determined that it was a plastic piece was from the Crib CD player. Emma is 11 months old and was able to manipulate a sliding plastic cover down (which covers the play, pause, etc buttons) which then exposed two little white "knobs" on the top of the player. She then simple bent off the plastic knob and into the mouth it went. I bent off the other knob to see if it was difficult or not. Is was VERY easy!! No pressure needed at all!!!!! The plastic is so thin that it literally bent off.
I called The First Years...twice! They continued to tell me that a child under 2 years of age shouldn't be able to manipulate this product.
I was pleading with this woman to invesigate the product for a possible recall. I told her that if my 11month old could do it, it would only be a matter of time before another child under 2 would do it!
I then explained to this woman that had I not had a VIDEO monitor, I would have simply thought my daughter was coughing and ignored it! Only to find my daughter dead in her crib.
The woman finally agreed to send me a label to mail the crib CD Player to them to "look at." It has been over 1 1/2 weeks and no label. I called again. I spoke to the same woman who told me her supervisor was on vacation and she is the only one that can send out a free mailing label. I stressed to her that my child was okay and that I didn't want anything from the company except to recall this product. I told her that not every parent knows CPR and that while her supervisor was off enjoying the finer things in life, a mother might find her precious child dead in their crib. I then offered to overnight the CD Player at my expense to them so they could get their red tape and procedures moving. She said, "No, they had steps to follow and that a label would be sent to me when the supervisor returned from vacation." No address was allowed to be given to me on where to send the CD Player and I wasn't allowed to know when the supervisor would return.
So...end of story...thus far! This company is absolutely unbelieveable!
So I wanted everyone to know what happened and to tell you to get this product out of your child's crib. I'm not so sure I'll ever purchase
The First Years product line again! They obviously don't care about
our children over the almighty buck!
P.S. My next letter will be to the video monitor company thanking them for developing an amazing product that obviously has the potential to save lives.
