Fisher-Price Precious Planet 2-in-1 Projection Mobile, Multicolor

I bought this as a replacement for an old mobile to which we lost the parts after my older child took it apart. I've been extremely impressed with it in the past month. I've turned it on (with the lights) at least once or twice every night, and the batteries are still going strong. The remote is extremely handy; although you need to have line of sight between it and the player. Our baby's crib is still in our bedroom, so that's not a problem. I find it extremely convenient that when she wakes up fussing, I can just turn this on without leaving bed, and wait a few minutes to see if she'll go back to sleep, or if she needs to be fed. Sometimes, I get to enjoy listening to her giggle at it! The volume on the music is also very loud in a good way (it has two settings, but we use the louder one to provide more cover of our own noises). A few drawbacks (and they're minor): There's no easy way to turn it off from the actual mobile. Pressing the button again just resets the timer. The remote does have this option, though. It's only been an issue when I've laid her down and she makes it clear she's not ready for bed, then I have to turn the switch off and back on. The mobile goes into a sleep mode (I'm not sure of the timeframe) and the remote won't work. If I don't plan on turning it on when I put the baby to sleep, I still manually turn it on real quick while I'm getting her changed and use the remote to turn it off again, otherwise I won't be able to use the remote in the middle of the night. The mobile itself is very tall, so just check the clearance for where you plan to install it. We didn't have any problems, but it's probably a good 1.5' above the crib, and the install system doesn't let you move it any lower. It's beneficial to us, because it makes it easier to slide the baby underneath it without a problem. I haven't used it yet without the mobile, but the picture display is very bright on the mobile itself, so I'm pretty confident it will work well on the ceiling above the baby as well. I bought this as an early Christmas present for the baby, but it's really been more of a Christmas present to myself!

This mobile has been a life saver for my little guy. He has hated sleeping in his crib since day 1. Initially I followed the philosophy that a crib is for sleeping and should not have toys. However, since he wasn't "sleeping" there anyways, I had to do SOMETHING! I researched every mobile out there and a lot of the projector mobiles had bad reviews. This one had like 800 good reviews! At first my baby (4 1/2 months at the time) didn't seem to pay much attention to the entire thing. I would lay him down and he would roll right to his stomach. I thought - this was a waste of money - he can't see it on his stomach! After a few times now he is mesmerized by the music and light show. Sometimes at night when the room is dark I turn on the mobile and we watch it together in the glider to calm down. Other times I lay him in the crib and when his eyes are busy, I slip away. The mobile is brilliant in that it runs a nice long time. As it ends its cycle it doesn't just shut off. First the light projector shuts off while the mobile animals still spin and the music still plays. Then the animals stop spinning. Lastly, the music stops. Maybe all mobiles work like that, but I like it to keep baby lulled. The remote is great if the baby is still awake and I want to turn it back on without him seeing me. The plush animals are adorable. I wish the projected picture was a little cuter but baby doesn't care. It was easy to assemble and disassemble when I need to remove the mobile part to project onto the ceiling. I can see this getting a lot of use. I am very pleased with the quality! Now baby sleeps in his crib!

We got this mobile for our 11-week-old to help him transition from a basinet in our room to a crib in his own room. He was enchanted right from the start -- I've never seen him respond this way to any other toy. He giggles and coos and shouts to the animals. Putting him under the mobile will almost always make him stop crying, and it keeps him entertained for an amazingly long time. (Note that I put animals from a different mobile into the slots -- I don't think it matters much.) It's clearly the combination of the music and visuals that does it. Putting on just the music or putting on the visuals with nature sounds doesn't bring about the same jubilant reaction. The only problem: As you can see in this video, he doesn't exactly look like he's about to fall asleep. In fact, my husband and I were concerned at first that he'd start thinking it was play time whenever we put him down in his crib and would never be able to sleep there. Fortunately, the transition to the crib is going really well, and I think it's largely because the mobile makes him feel at home. When he wakes up at night, he knows where he is. He feels oriented to the crib because of the happy time he's spent there with his animal "friends." When his eyes pop open for a few seconds during the night, I can see him glancing up at the silhouette of the mobile and going right back to sleep. So I'm thrilled with this product and consider it one of our best baby purchases. I should add that nap time is still a challenge, because as soon as it's at all light out and he can fully see the animals, his eyes pop wide open and he starts chattering away to them (even when they aren't moving). Right now, at 10 a.m., he's sleeping in his swing because he woke up in his crib after just 20 minutes and wouldn't go back to sleep. Oh, well -- getting him to nap in the crib will be a whole other challenge. But nighttimes are going beautifully, and considering the sleep we're getting and the total delight he's deriving from this mobile, I think it has improved our lives enough to earn the full five stars.

Bought this item after reading online reviews that it is one of the best cot mobiles. However, after assembly of the cot mobile (which was not an easy task) the sound was so muffled and low that it made no impact on my 4 month old twin baby girls. I filed a claim for refund and pronto I got another piece of the same got mobile within a day or two. This is despite the fact that I specifically asked for a refund and return of the product. I once again assembled the product in the hope that may be the first piece was defective but there was only a marginal improvement in terms of the quality of the sound. The motor of the cot mobile is louder than the music. Further the other two sounds options of nature and heartbeat are not audible at all. I have since filed another claim for refund and return and have not heard from either the Amazon team or the seller. This has been a complete rip off and I have been forced to write this review so as to make my complaint be heard at the customer care of Amazon, iBhejo and Fisher Price ... please return my money and take this product back!!!!!

Auch wenn alles aus Plastik ist, kommt es bei unserer Kleinen bestens an. Die Tierchen sind zwar aus Textil aber auch eben alles aus Kunststofffasern. In den Mund nehmen sollte das Kind deshalb die Tiere nicht, die sind am Mobile besser aufgehoben. Ansonsten finde ich die Musikauswahl gelungen. Herzschlag, Meeresrauschen oder Klassik. Unsere Kleine liegt immer "am Strand" denn das Meeresrauschen ist eingach nur genial. Ist sie mal wacher kommt die Projektion zum Einsatz und dann liegt sie einfach nur staunend in ihrem Bettchen und ist ganz ergriffen vom "Babykino". Die Fernbedienung ist bei uns nie im Einsatz von daher etwas sinnlos in meinen Augen. Es mag Situationen bei Eltern geben wo dies bedingt zum Einsatz kommen mag. Die Geräuschentwicklung der drehenden Teile geht voll ind Ordnung. Manch aufziehbares Spieluhrwerk knattert lauter daher. Die Batterien halten beim nur abendlichen Einsatz ca. einen Monat. Man sollte auch darauf achten, dass man das Gerät bei Nichtgebrauch auch ganz abschaltet sonst sind die Batterien im Standbymodus entsprechend schnell erschöpft. Da der Kosten-Nutzen-Faktor in unserem Fall stimmt gebe ich die vollen 5 Punkte.

My baby loves it! Nice calming light. The music has two volume options but both are low. We never use the lower volume option because then it is so low, it can hardly be heard. We like the fact that the volume is low as it is more calming for the baby and doesn't disturb other people around. When my baby needs to sleep, I use the option of music only without the light or moving toys. Because when the lights and movements are on my baby is too curious and has to keep his eyes open, so can't fall asleep. There is also the option for the sound to be a nature sound, which has a calming effect and helps the baby fall asleep. A third option is the sound of the heartbeat as it is heard at prenatal checkups. It is cute that it has this option although my baby prefers the music or nature sound.

This is a must buy for a new baby! Main three functions are: - music: two sound level settings. Three types of music: heart beat (like mums heart beat), nature (either waterfall or tropical rainforest), music (mozart, bach etc) -light show; rotating images of animals on a dome. Dome can be removed and the projector projects on to other surfaces - rotating mobile - includes 4 animals of high quality - crocodile, bear, whale and lion Very good faulty, 5 minutes to set-up. Includes remote as well with a single button which you press and it starts up from where it left off. The mobile has auto-tut off after 20 minutes which is good to save battery. Takes 4 x D side batteries and 2 x AA for the remote. The mobile is a bit expensive and cheaper from abroad but not many places sell this anymore and if you can get your hands on it, I would. And get it from birth - the lights are amazing when the room lights are off!
