Baby Toys

Great product!, January 10, 2009

I purchased this after reading all of the reviews on here, mainly due to the long play time, and the gradual shutting down of the crib soother. Apon reciept, the picture here does look much different than the item does in person, as far as the screen – but it doesn’t make me any less happy with the product.

One review complained about the volume, buy my soother does have 2 volume levels, and I think even the loud one, isn’t very loud. The quiet is perfect.

One review also complained about 2 units that stopped working. I have discovered why! When the batteries begin to fail, the until stops working in phases. All of a sudden the motion wouldn’t work on our unit. Because I had read the previous reviews, I initially thought my players was broken too because we still had light and music.

Then a few days later, the light would only work for about 5 minutes at a time, but we still had long periods of music. So I thought yep, its garbage. But then my husband said, well, lets just change the batteries.

And like new – the whole thing works again!!

So I’m guessing that the gradual systems stopping is meant to be an indicator that the batteries are wearing down. It doesn’t mean the unit is defective. I didn’t check it at first, because I thought they were new batteries – but it turns out my husband and just put in the ones from our old crib player.

So with this revelation, I can say I am perfectly happy with this player. I love the length of play, the gradual shut down and I really LOVE the remote function. I’m happy!

Disappointing Baby Einstein Product, February 25, 2009

By

I’m usually a fan of Baby Einstein products, but this one was a disappointment. The biggest problem is that the admittedly cute and colorful creatures stopped “swimming” after only 2 months. Also, I found the background lighting to be too bright. My baby would often squint and turn away from the harsh light. I felt like I was forcing her to watch TV in her crib! I chose this soother because I like the gradual shutdown, the length of the playtime and the remote control. The first two features were nice; the remote control worked only sometimes even at short range. So, while this soother has some nice features, overall it was not worth the money.

Love the 25 minute play, however a little too bright, November 19, 2008

I bought this for my 3rd child. I have pretty much every crib soother on the market. I was drawn to this one because of the long music play-25 minutes. 10 minutes of music, motion and lights, followed by 10 minutes of softer music, lights with no motion and then followed by 5 minutes of soft music with no lights or motion. Every other soother we had the music was under 10 minutes and baby would not be asleep yet and would be frustrated when it turned off. This works great at nap time. However at night, and especially in the middle of the night, the light is way too bright. It practically blinds my baby when it gets turned on. It looks like he is in a tanning bed. If they was a way to turn down the light, then the soother would have gotten 5 stars from me.
