Baby Products Reviews of The First Years Nature Sensations Dreams In Sight Mobile
Customer Review: Was great, until...
Summary: 3 Stars
So, I got this mobile for my shower after reading reviews. I loved it, my son loved it. It was so adorable and kept him engaged and happy in his crib, which was great because he otherwise hated being in the crib. As most of these toys do, the batteries eventually died and it was time to change them. The battery changing was fine, but as soon as I put it back onto my LO's crib, all of a sudden the mobile didn't spin anymore. Music played, lights went on, but it just didn't move at all!! What is the point????
So, if this hadn't happened I would have given this 5 stars, but I can't seem to figure out how to fix this problem and now it's rather pointless. My son still likes it because of the music and the lights (at night), but he no longer coos at the little stuffed characters going around.
has anyone else had this issue? Is there a solution?? It seems like the motor that turns it just died.
Customer Review: One and Only Mobile!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had this on my baby registry and didn't know much about it except I liked the projection. Once I received it and put it to use I instantly fell in love with it. Besides being cute, it certainly did the job with my newborn. She loved watching the lights and shapes rotating on the canopy. She could stare at it for quite some time before falling asleep. The music selections are tranquil and calming. The highest volume setting was loud so we kept it at the second level which was just perfect. The remote control is a lifesaver!! My daughter is now 7 months and she still uses it but with only the music since she grabs at the actual mobile. The only thing I can say bad about this mobile is the batteries it requires. But with all babies toys you have to replace it frequently depending on how much you use it. We loved this mobile so much we recommended it to family and they also bought it and loved it.Customer Review: Cribside Planetarium!
Summary: 5 Stars
My son was given this mobile as a gift at his baptism (6 months of age). He doesn't sit up without help and I haven't yet dropped the matress to it's lowest setting and he STILL can't reach it. He LOVES watching the bugs float by and will watch this thing for HOURS. If only I'd had one of these with my FIRST two kids. Now I actually have a chance to set the baby down somewhere safe without hearing the protests from the crib!
I highly recommend this because it's the best built, most durable mobile I ever used/seen. We use rechargeable batteries and have just now had to replace them (I have 2 sets in rotation). We play this thing over and over and over. Long after the batteries are drained to the point the stars don't project, it will STILL play the music and turn the mobile.
Whoever had the batteries run out pretty quickly was probably using bad batteries.
Customer Review: Nice feature with so so quality
Summary: 3 Stars
OK, I have to admit that my son likes it. For the feature part I'd give this mobile a 5 star.
HOWEVER, there's something scary about it: the melody turns on by itself at random times! This happened to me at least 10 times during 5 months. At the beginning it was funny but when it happened in the middle of dark night it's not so pleasant experience.
Also the other drawback I think is that it eats up battery too fast! We use it at most 1 hour a day and have to replace the battery every month. Even a cradle swing, which does much more than a mobile, could last at least 3 months on the same amount of battery.
Overall, the idea of this mobile may be great, but to make it worth the money, someone in the company has to redesign the circuit to make it more reliable and more efficient. It'd be a really simple circuitry problem anyway.
Customer Review: Noisy, Noisy, Noisy
Summary: 2 Stars
All the problems we experienced with this mobile were listed in others reviews.
It turns on and off if you use a remote control near it.
The canopy was so loud during rotation that we decided to return it.
I found that it went through batteries quickly.
When we attached it to the crib, we found that it damaged the finish.
When completely assembled it does not have a music only function which I found that we would have really liked. When you remove the mobile, you could use it as a music only, but it looks strange with our the arm and canopy.
The canopy on our mobile was really hard to snap in place especially the last piece.
My baby does like it, but its so noisy that I can't use it to lull her back to sleep, it only works when she is awake otherwise it keeps her up.
I am on the look out for a better option.
