Baby Products Reviews of The First Years - Crib CD Player
Customer Review: DONT BUY THIS OR REGISTER FOR IT ITS A WASTE OF MONEY
Summary: 2 Stars
I MUST SAY I WAS PRETTY EXCITED WHEN I SAW THIS AND I WANTED IT FOR MY NEW BABY. WHEN I WAS SETTING UP HIS NURSERY I PUT IT UP AND THRU THE BOX AWAY (BIG MISTAKE) AND AFTER HE WAS BORN WE PLAYED AROUND WITH IT A BIT. IT USES BATTERIES UP SO QUICKLY, THE LIGHT IS REALLY NOT VERY IMPRESSIVE, THE CD SKIPS ALL THE TIME, THE PLASTIC COVER THAT GOES OVER THE CONTROLS DOES NOT MOVE SMOOTHLY. YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF BUYING A CUTE LITTLE BOOMBOX AT THE STORE ...I HAVE HAD BETTER PRODUCTS FOR 5 DOLLARS AT BIG LOTS. REALLY!! SO TAKE MY ADVICE... BUY A LITTLE RADIO FOR YOUR CHILDS ROOM THAT HAS A CD AND TAPE PLAYER. THEN YOU WILL STILL HAVE MONEY LEFT OVER FOR DIAPERS..... I AM GLAD THIS WAS A GIFT AND I DIDNT SPEND MONEY LIKE THAT!...Customer Review: first time mom named Michelle

I was excited to get this product. The cd player was a gift off my baby regisry and i ran out and bought c batteries only to be let down by the outcome of performance of this product. I played a baby einstein classical music cd for 1 minute to test the product out and was unpleasantly surprised by the horrible sound quality. All i heard was static with a bit of music in the background. This product is going right back to the store. I recommend getting a little boombox made by sony or an electronics brand instead of this product. It seemed like a good idea, especially since it hooks on to the crib and has a nightlight, but i bought the product mainly for the ability to play clear music. don't waste your time or your money.Customer Review: A wonderful gift
Summary: 4 Stars
I am surprised by the strong negative responses to this item. I have received it as a baby shower gift and never had any problems with it. My son is now almost 3 and we still use it. (granted, it had to be moved to a shelf)
Firstly about the battery compartment: yes, it IS hard to get to, but I think of it as a positive feature - does anyone have a 2-year old that wants to get into everything? About the volume control - I find the volume settings to be just perfect for a sleeping baby.
The best feature is the timing aspect of the CD player - you can program how long you want the music to play and then it switches itself off.
I would definitely recommend this item to all new moms.
Customer Review: Every nap, every night
Summary: 4 Stars
I had read iffy reviews of this, but still wanted it, and I'm thrilled to have it. It attaches to the crib itself, so there's no need for a table or shelf nearby (this is New York, space is an issue!) The sound quality isn't like the home stereo, but it's quite good. It does eat batteries, but it can also depend on the type - don't buy the "good for electronics" ones, they don't last any longer. And if you accidentally press "play" twice (putting it in pause mode) or the CD has a skip, it can be spinning and running down the batteries for a long time without you knowing it. That aside, we use it for every time he goes to bed, and take it with us wherever we travel.Customer Review: IDEA IS A WINNER BUT PRODUCT NEEDS WORK!

I HATED this product! I absolutely HAD to have it, and I was so excited about receiving it at my shower. Boy, what a let down. This thing eats thru batteries like nobody's business! If you are playing a CD, make sure you or your baby doesn't so much as tap the side of the crib or the CD will skip. You need BOTH hands to open the safety cover and the light, even though it was very dim, kept my baby occupied and stimulated staring at it because it was so close to her!I'm all for soothing music and lullabyes, but I'd say wait until they improve on the product itself before making this purchase! I put a regular old radio/CD player in the room and I'm much more satisfied with that.
