| | |  | Crib Mobiles | | Home » | | | | | | | Description: | | 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 | | | Features: | |

Ghost MachineJun 09, 2008
I do like this mobile a lot. However, we got a bad one or else we have a ghost in the house that likes to turn it on when ever they feel like it. I called the company and they were VERY nice and are sending out a new one. I really hope it works because it's a nice mobile and exactly what I was looking for!
 exceeds expectationsMay 27, 2008
My babies love love love this mobile. I'm really impressed with the design - the movements work with gravity and help develop understanding about how things move and interact. I have twins and it amazes me how long one will happily lie there watching the mobile while I take care of the other. The design is great - one of the twins managed to get hold of the elephant and put it in her mouth and the mobile just swung around and coped with the problem until I got it away from her. (This was because I was helping them both sit up and watch it - they just love it so much.)
MY SON IS AMAZED BY THIS MOBILEMay 15, 2008
Our son is amazed by this mobile. Besides being insanely cute, it's fun, colorful, and plays sweet music. A great buy. We've had no problems with it at all. I do wish there was a option to have the mobile go on without music, and an option to just keep it running. It shuts off after ten minutes,and you have to reset it...All that is small in comparison to how much our baby enjoys it!
 Fun for adults keeps kids upMay 08, 2008
Bought into all the reviews and "prizes" won by this toy. Only problem is it never really worked for us and then didn't work. Our son found the music and all the action to energizing and it kept him up. When we turned it off he became a great sleeper. At 3 months slept 8 hours straight and learned to fall asleep on his own. The remote never worked further than three feet away and does not turn the unit on unless you have it on standby. Few weeks into it we had to give it a push to get it to move and now its just stationary. [...]

Best purchase for our baby!!!Aug 16, 2007
This is actually our second mobile (exact same one). The first one I purchased and it just quit about three weeks ago...couldn't ever figure out why so we made a mad dash to the local Toys R Us who was sold out. Ended up having to order online because our little guy couldn't be without this mobile - he absolutely loves it!!! While we were waiting for this one to arrive, I had to stand there and mimic the mobile's movements for my son b/c he just loves it so much! The music is soothing, the colors of the animals are great and constant motion of the beads keeps my baby entertained. He just loves it and it guarantees me 15 minutes of free time and most days a second 15 minutes with the quick hit of the remote control button. Great mobile - would highly recommend!
