Baby Products Reviews of Tiny Love Take-Along Arch, Sunny Stroll
Customer Review: Bright Idea
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my son at 8 weeks old who absolutely hated car rides he is now four months and we are still using this daily. Although it doesn't always prevent crying in the car he loves this toy and so do I. The sun is bright with crinkly rays and has a smiling face that my son loves to look at and coo at. He has just started to get the spinner to work although it is more accident than design on his part but he is thrilled when it goes. His older brother will make it spin for him and it makes him smile and sometimes laugh. He is always impressed with himself when he hits the spinner ball with noisemakers inside.
I love that I can clip this to just about anything, his graco carseat, the pack n play (in the corner), baby swing, infant seat, our couch. We can hook it to almost any location and get his attention. The toy has segments on hinges so you can lengthen it or make it a higher arch with less space, you can also bend it over so when we have it hooked to the pack n play corner we bend it down so he can look into the sun's face. **it doesn't clip to his new convertible carseat; the britax boulevard is too fat for the clips**
I would recommend this to others and feel my son will continue to enjoy this toy for several more months.
Customer Review: Best Car Seat Arch Toy Out There!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had seen this product before my son's birth and kept coming back to it b/c nothing I tried was interesting to our son. I finally bought this toy when my son was 4 1/2 months old b/c he was ready for some extra entertainment during outings. The night we took it out of the box we will never forget. We got home from work and attached it actually to our son's bouncer so he could look at it. We pulled the string to the pinwheel and our son giggled for 45 minutes that we even called his grandparents to hear the giggling. We have a nice video clip of him laughing thanks to this wonderful toy!! We use this in conjunction with the Tiny Love portable mobile and our son is entertained for hours. We were out for almost 7 hours the other day and he was entertained the entire time as he enjoys playing with the crinkly bugs, the pinwheel and other arch toys. He is NEVER bored anymore on outings and loves all of the toys. I have purchased numerous other stroller arches and toys/etc. out there and this by far trumps them all. I just wish I had bought this one initially as it is a really great toy and way to entertain your baby while in public. Like I said if your child also likes mobiles the Tiny Love mobile is also great as we use both for outings.Customer Review: LOVE LOVE this (and my baby does too!)

Purchased this for my 2 month old and she loves it! It is super easy to move around and I've had no problems making it attach or fit on everything we have (i have a graco carseat, fisher price papason, and FP swing as well - all different sizes/shapes) I like that it is bendable and I can make the arch high for when she just wants to look at it or lower it down for her to touch and kick the toys. Even at 2 months, it holds her attention and she "talks" to it all the time.
-- A head's up (if you care about this at all) - this item has some pink on it. The butterfly and the mirror have hot pink on them SO if you care about this at all, there is an alternative.....the Tiny Love Musical arch is more the primary colors and does look more boyish if you have a boy and don't want ANY pink around (it even has a lion's face in the middle where the sunny stroller arch has a cute sunshine) :) not that big a deal to me since i have 2 girls and we love love pink :) but i ordered both to give one as a gift and the musical arch is just as cute and just as effective and you can turn the music off if the noise bothers you! Either is a GREAT item and I would highly recommend you making the purchase!!
Customer Review: Fantastic value and entertainment
Summary: 5 Stars
This arch has a really secure and easy to use attachment mechanism, and some snappy bal joints that let you position it firmly forward and backward, and even adjust the height. I have owned the cloth covered ones from tiny love also with glorified clothespin ends which don't stay attached very well, and can say that this plastic version is much much nicer. To compare, those arches came with musical wind up mobiles which this doesn't, but who needs music on a mobile when you have an ipod.
The toys on this are fascinating to my 3 mo old twins. They both love the rattly ball attached to the propeller, and love spinning the propeller, though they don't quite know how to pull the ball strongly enough to make the propeller go -- but they do try, and grab at the ball all the time. They also gaze through the transparent prismatic " sun" plastic, and one of them loves batting at the spinning ball in the butterfly. The extra hanging toys on the sun, and butterfly are hung on with velcro, so later on you could swap them out with other toys that could loop through. I think though that the propellor will go a long way with mechanical minded babies. One toy so far where I wouldn't change a thing.
Customer Review: Fun but tricky to use
Summary: 3 Stars
We bought this for our 2month old who screams uncontrallably in the car seat/car (our daughter was the same way) partly due to boredome, inability to sooth himself, and acid reflux pain. We were hoping it would be a distraction. It is interesting to look at but he liks to look more up or straight ahead and the way it attaches to his seat he has to look down a bit. We had to flip up the car seat padding to attach it and it still isn't very secure. For instance if he were able to pull the string on the spinning toy it would probably come detached form his carseat as it will if you hit it too hard when putting him in. Also the string is too hard to pull I think for the average baby of any age. A plus is that it can pivot forward and back while attached so you can pivot it forward all the way to put your baby in their seat and then back up to where it's comfortable for them. It's worth buying if you're desparate for a car toy but it definitely could use some tweaking in the design and will probably be liked more by an older baby (there's no black and white on it and is almost too busy for a newborn).
