Baby Products Reviews of The First Years Nature Sensations Dreams In Sight Mobile
Customer Review: Great Mobile!
Summary: 4 Stars
After having to return two mobiles for not fitting my daughters crib, I purchased this one praying I would not have to return it. The crib's rails are not "conventional" and are rather thick. I was ecstatic and relieved that this mobile fit! My almost 3 month old loves this mobile. Instead of staring at the ceiling fan in the nursery, she becomes enthralled now with this mobile! I will place her in the crib and turn on the mobile during the day to take a shower and she does not once cry. At night when she is sometimes inconsolable, I will place her in her darkened room and the projection, movement, and varying music choices soothe her. The only downside is that it will only stay on for 10 minutes. There is a remote that will start it once it stops, as to not disturb baby if she has fallen asleep. She has not once fallen asleep to it yet, but we are not quite at that stage. I am very happy I purchased this mobile and highly recommend it.Customer Review: Calming and Soothing!
Summary: 5 Stars
We've had this mobile for about 2 weeks now...no battery changes needed and it is working just fine! This mobile is calming & soothing. We started with another mobile--the Tiny Love Musical Symphony. However, it was really loud and honestly just kept my son awake since it was so stimulating! When I put him in his crib, my hope is that he'll fall asleep and this First Years mobile does just that!
The remote is also a great feature so I don't have to come into the room while he is about to fall asleep.
And finally...I love that this can be used at night! We tried the other mobile at night, but he really couldn't see it--even with a night light. It just made noise. This one has nice music (ok...it is not the best music ever, but he's a baby and it is calming enough) and the screen makes lovely light pictures for him to look at.
So far...this mobile has been great! And I highly recommend it.
Customer Review: Loud and doesn't fit our crib
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this mobile as a gift and set it up before we had our baby. First, the way the mobile is designed to attach to the crib did not fit our style crib at all because the rails at the top of our's were too tall to let the lip of the mobile rest on it. I attempted to rig something up, but just did not feel it was safe, so that was my main reason for returning it. Also, in the process of screwing the attachment to the crib, it easily scratched the wood.
In addition, this motor on the mobile was EXTREMELY loud. I had to turn the music volume as high as it would go just to hear it over the motor. Like other reviewers, the rotation stopped several times and made grinding noises and I would have to push it to get it going again.
I was disappointed in the design of this product because it does not fit all crib types and was very disappointed in the noise of the motor - not sure how this would be soothing to a baby.
Customer Review: So disappointing!
Summary: 1 Stars
We received this as a gift... I wish I had read all the reviews before installing it! Unfortunately it worked perfectly and our daughter LOVED it for 2 months (sang to it every time we turned it on) until it suddenly stopped working. After trying two sets of new batteries, I sent an email to customer service about it. No response. Then I called them. The lady was very nice and said all I needed to do was send them the base back and they would send out a new one right away. So I paid the $14 to ship it Priority Mail (thinking we'd get it back faster) and then 3 days later I got a call saying it's backordered for 3 months - why didn't they tell me that when I called? By then our daughter will be at the age where they say you can't use it on the crib anymore.
Don't set yourself up for the disappointment we got. Such a great concept, but they need to figure out how to improve the quality and customer service!
Customer Review: Best Buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I researched lots of mobiles trying to find just the right one. I knew that I wanted one with lights b/c my husband and I thought that would be a pretty cool feature. In my research I found out that most people didn't like the mobiles with lights b/c they hardly showed up (because they project on the ceiling) so when I saw this mobile with the lights shining on the canopy I decided to give it a try. The picture shown above does not do it justice - it has bright colors, the mobile arm moves which is great when you are changing crib sheets, the lights are bright on the canopy without disturbing my son or keeping him from falling asleep, the different music and nature sounds are perfect and include volume control. All in all we are very glad we ended up with this mobile. I have not had any trouble with it and my son is 4 mo. old now. I would say this is a wonderful product for the price and you can't go wrong with it!!!
