Baby Products Reviews of The First Years Nature Sensations Dreams In Sight Mobile
Customer Review: Couldn't Live Without This Mobile
Summary: 5 Stars
This mobile is one of the best purchases that I've made for my baby. After doing lots of research I decided to give this mobile a try and I'm glad that I did because it is worth it's weight in gold. I've been using it everyday since my son was born 11 months ago. I've had to change the batteries three times during this 11 month period which I think is very reasonable considering that it is used several times each day. I use it on the day setting before my son takes his naps and it usually puts him to sleep before it finishes with one cycle of music. My son has gotten used to falling asleep with this mobile so before I even turn it on he is looking up at it and waiting to see it, especially when I use it at night on the night setting and the stars and moon light up. There is a remote that comes with it but I haven't had to use it because my son usually falls asleep within the first music cycle or shortly thereafter by himself. Now that my son is mobile he has begun to crawl over and switch the mobile on himself until he falls asleep. We've taken this mobile to hotels with us and used the back of chairs to attach it to so that we could help my son stay in his napping and nighttime routine. I highly recommend this mobile - it's a lifesaver at helping your child get to sleep and calm down when their are in 'cranky sleep fighter mode'.Customer Review: Great Mobile!

I've had this mobile for 6 months now. My baby girl loves it, the lights and bright little animals still amaze her. It has 3 tunes and 1 "nature sounds". She now knows which one means bedtime, playtime, etc. I always play the same one at night, another during daytime (naps). The canopy moves sideways so that you can pick your baby up from the crib without hitting it.
The remote works great, and she also uses it as a toy. She laughs just looking at it, and now likes to throw it on the floor just to look at me picking it up, I guess :) It hasn't broken yet...
I was scared of getting this, but really wanted it. I'd read some bad reviews on its functioning, batteries, etc. I've changed the batteries once in 6 months. I do take care not to leave it on when not in use. It does stay on after the tune is over (so that you can use the remote to hit play).
Assembly wasn't very easy, but since its only done once, it was fine. Go by the instructions and be very patient. I still haven't gotten to the part where you take it down and can't disassemble it to put away, but I guess its worth the hassle.
I would recommend this, and would buy again.
Customer Review: Great mobile

This mobile is an excellent choice. It has two setting- day and night. The day setting allows the canopy to spin to four very different "songs" and the night setting has the day features with the added light show. It projects onto the canopy and spins in the opposite direction of the toys hanging from the canopy. It is very soothing for my 1 month old daughter. One of the best features of this mobile is the remote control for parents. The music and lights will play for around 10 minutes. If your child is not to sleep yet and needs more music to lull them to sleep, simply press the button on the remote (hanging on your child's door knob) and the mobile starts up again. It is fantastic. They don't even have to know you are checking on them! There is one other feature I forgot to mention. There is a volume button with two settings. I use both. This product is sturdy and very well made. The assembly was not difficult and I would definitely recommend it. By the way, there is no winding involved with this mobile. Just press a button and it's spinning!Customer Review: Fantastic

Hi All- I am a new Mom and have spent hours reading books, reviews and walking aisles in stores for all of the products we have for our first born. We bought 2 Fisher Price Mobiles before this. One was the aquarium which did fit our crib. Despite that there still is the option to use it on a flat surface to do the light show. We did not like it AT ALL. Then we purchased the Little Laugh and Learn Sweet Moon Dreams. This did fit but did not work right and was not secure on our crib. The light show was not that great either. It is busy looking and the animals and leaves (which move in opposite directions) would hit every time they moved around thus getting them stuck. SO.... we then bought the First Years Dreams in Sight. LOVE it!! Easy to put together, great volume control and the light show is great. It does not go on the ceiling, but is great for the baby to see and is SO cute. Please take my advice and save yourself the trouble from having to go 3. Many other reviews have helped us choose wonderful products so please go with this one. It is GREAT!!Customer Review: bad luck with THREE of these in the past month
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had horrible luck with this mobile. I have tried to use three of them in the past month, and something is defective with each one.
The first one stopped rotating after the first night of use. I returned that one to Toys R Us and got another one.
The next one drained the batteries dead overnight after the first night of use, even though I only used the mobile for a couple of hours.
After that, I called the company (The First Years/Learning Curve). They offered to replace the mobile if I paid to send in the defective one and my store receipt. I paid $20 (!!!) to send it to them, and they sent a replacement right back. The motor buzzes loudly when the canopy rotates, to the point that it's really annoying, not soothing.
Now I am out $60 and still don't have a product I can use. I am very, very disappointed and feel like I've had rotten luck. This leaves a bad taste in my mouth toward this company.
