Fisher Price Rainforest Mobile

In the ten years in between having my second and third children I can't believe how much seems to have changed - what to eat while pregnant, baby health checks, when to wean, but what I really find amazing is the advances in baby products. The cot mobiles of my first two children were clunky, creaky things that had to be wound up (very annoying during the night!) in order to play a tinny tune. Fast forward to 2008 and the birth of BabyChocaholic No3 and the purchase of a Fisher Price Rainforest mobile. I chose this model as BabyChoc loved the gym from this range so much. Okay, and I admit I'm quite drawn to the cute characters myself. It ...  Read the complete review

With my first born child we never bothered with a baby mobile we saw them a bit gimmicky and I suppose they are in a way, some babies are harder to settle and need something to keep them occupied. When my 2nd son arrived in April this year, we didnt have a baby mobile as we just never thought about getting one really. I was vistiting my friend over the road and her baby was a month younger then mine and she showed me this mobile and it was not irritating but actually quite soothing and entertaining. As we sat my baby in her babies cot he lay there taken in with the leaves unfolding and the bright characters going around and ...  Read the complete review

With my daughter I bought the wind up mobile that matched her nursery but it didn't play for long and i was constantly having to keep going in to wind it back up. When i found out i was pregnant with my son i decided i wasnt making that mistake again and this was the mobile i wanted! it ticked all the boxes for me, played soothing music or rainforest sounds, has 2 volume options (great for the early hours!), a remote so i can set it going without getting out of bed and it plays for a decent lenght of time. It also has a night light function which displays a rainforest picture. My son loves this, it's been on his crib since he was 2 weeks old and he will lie happily and ...  Read the complete review

Without hesitation, I would wholeheartedly recommend this product as a must buy for any new parent. The mobile screws easily onto the side of a standard cot (mine is from Mothercare) and provides baby with hours of musical entertainment. The brightly coloured monkey, tree frog (a winning feature in my husband's eyes, who grew sick of cute bunnies and teddies on other mobiles we considered) and parrot revolve around a butterfly friend, all underneath big, green leaves that move gently up and down to the music. The choice on the music box is good - 3 composers with each selection playing two tracks, or a rainforest sounds option. The music plays for 15 minutes ...  Read the complete review

I love the rainforest range and had purchased the gym and swing before this. I originally had a winnie the pooh mobile for my baby but it was really loud and had to be kept wound up or would go off. The rainforest mobile has 4 types of music; rainforest, and 3 classical tunes. There are also 2 volume controls which is great when the parents are trying to get to sleep too. The bright rainforest animals and moving leaves will keep babies attention from crying and the night light is just enough to make them feel in a bedtime enviroment. This fits all cots and cot beds and comes with a remote control so once baby is asleep you can turn it off with the ...  Read the complete review
