Baby Products Reviews of The First Years - Crib CD Player
Customer Review: Worst Product I've Ever Bought
Summary: 1 Stars
If I could rate this product a "0" I would. This product design on this item is extremely poor. I am on my second unit (both brand new) and have had the same luck with both. The main problem is that the cds skip constantly -- even when the unit is NOT bumped. The result is far from relaxing. Remember those old diskmen that skipped constantly because they didn't have internal baffling? This is just like that. I even followed the protocol for cleaning unit #2(per the company's instructions) before giving up on it. The cleaning made no difference with the skipping. I'm surprised that this product remains on the market considering it's poor design. I've decided I am getting a regular cd/cassette player jambox to set next to the crib. I have to say that I read all of the negative reviews first, and ignored them because I wanted this product (or at least the concept of it) so badly. For once, I should've listened to others' advice.
Customer Review: What a waste of money!
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought this was going to be an excellent CD player since it is made by The First Years. We use music throughout the day in our baby's room and thought this would be a good CD player to do that with. However, it went through batteries so quickly that it just wasn't worth it. I found myself having to change batteries every other day. Also the buttons/volume dial are very small and hard to adjust. We also found that this CD player skipped often or would give error messages for no apparent reason. The idea of having an attachable crib CD player with a night light is great, but this one's quality is terrible. I would not recommend it to anyone. I went to The First Years website, registered our purchase of this item, and posted how we felt about the poor workmanship of this item. We never received any reply or offer for a refund. Don't waste your money on this CD player. I recommend a small CD unit that you can plug in near the crib.Customer Review: HATED IT!!!!!!!

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY SON FOR HIS FIRST CHRISTMAS AND WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!! I WOULD HAVE RATED IT A 0 BUT THEY DON'T ALLOW IT. I ALSO WOULD RATE THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT FIRST YEARS A ZERO . I CALLED THEM TO TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT I DON'T REALLY USE THE CD PLAYER BUT FOR 15 MINS A COUPLE OF NIGHTS A WEEK AND ONLY HAD IT FOR A MONTH AND HAD TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES 3 TIMES AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO BUY RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGER. I TOLD THEM I DIDN'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO DO ALL THAT AND THEY SAID THAT S THEY'RE ONLY ADVISE . THEY WOULD NOT REFUND MY MONEY FOR THE PRODUCT BUT ARE AWARE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS AND ARE HAVING THEY'RE ENGINEERS LOOK INTO IT. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!! BUY A REGULAR ONE YOU CAN SIT ON THE DRESSER I WISH I HAD!! I WISH MORE COMPANIES WOULD STAND BEHIND THEY'RE PRODUCTS!! IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME HOW BAD THIS PRODUCT IS I WILL SELL YOU MINE

I got this cd player because I had such a hard time finding lullibies on tape. I had read the other comments but thought I would give it a try anyway.Bad points- It DOES skip when its hit, so don't hit it. The light IS dim, so what? I want the kids to sleep not see what to get into! The music IS low even on the highest setting, but then again the whole house isn't listening to it.
Good points- It plays the whole CD then shuts itself off. (At least mine does!) It uses CDs which can be found ANYWHERE. Its small enough that I can put it on the wall side of my crib and I know my other children CAN'T play with it!! The buttons are a pain to get to, but thats GREAT where kids are concerned, right??
As for the batteries, I've had mine a few weeks, play it EVERY night and have yet to replace the batteries.
I happen to really like mine. Give it a try, save your receipt and make up your own mind.
