 Tiny Love: Symphony-in-Motion Deluxe Remote Control Mobile
Description
| Product Description |
|
This award-winning Symphony-in-Motion Deluxe Remote Control Mobile enables parents to turn the mobile on and off without entering the baby's room. It features 15 minutes of continuous soothing music, including Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. With a swivel arm, the mobile moves easily from side to side. And with unique four-way movement, this intriguing mobile is always in the right position and stays within your child's line of vision. Parents can detach the electronic music box with large push buttons and adjustable volume for use after mobile is taken down. Requires 3 "AA" alkaline batteries for mobile and 2 "AA" batteries for remote control. Batteries not included. The original Symphony-in-Motion crib mobiles have long been favorite baby distracters/soothers, with pleasant, not-too-tinny music and spinning colorful critters and whirligigs. The only thing missing has been a remote control so parents could keep the music and action going without disturbing an almost-slumbering baby. Well…(sound the horns!) enter the Deluxe model! All the appeal of the original, plus a remote. The music box is (easily) attached to the crib bars, and the mobile with swiveling arm ascends from the box to hang over the crib, out of baby's reach. One button on the music box starts a 15-minute cycle of music by Mozart, Beethoven, or Bach; or individual composers' buttons can be pushed if baby has a yen for 15 minutes of Bach, say. Goofy zoo animals sporting polka dots and multi-colored feet (a la Dr. Seuss) are angled to baby's line of vision—not the parent's. The arms rotate as the music plays, causing beads to slide with a satisfying click on each turn. All this commotion can, of course, be initiated by the remote as well, which is a powerful feature for parents who know that one glimpse of mama or papa may be enough to get baby riled up again. Once baby is big and strong enough to grab the toys, it's time to retire the mobile. But keep that music box around—baby will love the music forever, and will enjoy pushing the buttons herself one day! Requires two "AAA" batteries (not included). --Emilie Coulter Editorial Descriptions are usually submitted by the manufacturers, publishers and authors.

My daughter is now one year old, and this was by far the most useful toy I bought her when she was born. It says it is for a baby up to 5 months, but she is still using it now because it is possible to detach the whole mobile part(which an older baby could reach and get tangled in) and just leave the music box attached to the crib. She turns it on by herself! When she was about 2 or 3 months old, she began to watch the mobile and wiggle and squeal with delight. She was so interested in it that I was able to go take a shower or do other things during a 15 minute cyle of music- a real help in the early months. We used it several times every day, and it used very few batteries. It attached easily to our crib with curved rails.
Negative points:
1)It's kind of loud, even on low, so I put a piece of clear packing tape over the speaker and that made the sound just right.
2)The music quality is not as pretty as I had hoped, but it's better than other brands offered. My baby much prefers the rich tinkling sound of a real wind-up music box to any electronic music, so I would suggest also buying a standard music box.
3) The mobile was so exciting to her that it was an activity toy, but not a help to get to sleep. In fact, my baby would eventually become over-stimuated by it and start rubbing her eyes and making noises when she wanted me to turn it off to let her sleep. For naps and bedtime, I used a gentle water-sounds machine to lull her to sleep and drown out any noise she might hear from elsewhere in the house, and she is still using that, too. An aquarium toy is also nice and can be turned on by an older baby.
This is a fantastic toy, and I am so glad to be able to use it well beyond the 5 months the manufacturer recommends. My baby almost never minds going to bed, and I wonder if this toy helped her to see her bed as a pleasant place to be.

I bought this for my first son three years ago. He loved it and I'd have to restart it for him over and over (with or without the remote) because it captured his interest so well. The motor (the purple ball-shaped section) died within the first three months, but when I called Tiny Love, the company that makes this, they sent a new one completely free of charge, and it continued to work well.
The music is lovely and you can set it to just one tune or to cycle between the three different songs. The animals are fabulous to look at - black and white plus bold colors, with buggy eyes to boot.
Now, my second son is enjoying it. As a matter of fact, now that it's up again, my three-year-old likes to turn it on to watch and listen too.
I'd have given it less stars for breaking down, but getting free replacement parts and great customer service won back all the stars!

I bought this product because my colicky daughter was really interested in mobiles and this seemed like a very stimulating and educational mobile. My daughter is now three months and for the past month she refused to sleep anywhere but with me. I bought this mobile a month ago and she really enjoys her mobile. She now loves to be in her crib and she is finally sleeping in there. The only modification I made is I taped up the stars that slide down because when she fell asleep they got noisy and I still wanted to keep the mobile on for music. The mobile does drain batteries but that may just be because we play it so much for her!

Our baby is 6 weeks old, and he is mesmerized by this mobile. I think he really digs the music, too.

My daughter loved the mobile on her pack-n-play so much that we decided to splurge on a nice one for her crib. The symphony in motion one we got was the same as this only with farm animals and black-and-white swirls istead of colored ones. She didn't like it at first... I think she was too young and got overstimulated. When she grew accustomed to it, she started looking eagerly for it to start when I'd put her in her crib during the day (starting about 6 weeks). At first she'd watch it for a few minutes but after a couple weeks she'd watch it and "talk" to it for up to 2 hrs straight... I'd just have to go in and push the start button every 15 mins! Other times I'd put her down to watch the mobile and come back 20 mins later to a peacefully sleeping baby. I love the classical music too... there's a couple fun and fast selections and a slower one that you can either cycle through or pick one to play all 15 mins. It looks a little crazy at first, but if it'll entertain a 2 month old for 2 HOURS it's worth it's weight in gold!
