Symphony-In-Motion Mobile - Tiny love

One of the best things we bought for our baby!

When she was small it was just fascinating watching her watching it, as she got bigger it was a sure-fire way to get her to go down for her nap. By the time she got to about 5 or 6 months she was fed up with the animals going around and so I took the mobile part away. But, and this is the best bit, you can leave the music box in place and putting on the music still sends her to sleep! We think we have conditioned her to hear the music and off she goes.

It is great to have a product that outlasts its initial usefulness in this way.

However, I bought mine second hand from ebay and after daily use for 4 or 5 months the motor became very noisy. This wasn't a problem for long as baby was getting fed up with it by then anyway, but it is worth noting that it has a limited lifespan.

My baby loves this mobile ... And we've tried several. He kicks around happily underneath this for a full 20 minutes allowing me to have a shower and a cup of tea :) when we came back from a recent holiday I could him sigh with pleasure when I put him underneath his mobile.

Comments from other mumsnetters: "Our best investment ever". "My daughter was very unsettled in the early months but she loved this toy - watching the little creatures swing round and the vivid colours. Even now she is two she stilll listens to the music". "There's a choice of three classical tunes which are not at all plinky. One piece is great for going to sleep, the other tunes are more lively are lively". "As it is battery powered it will keep going for 15 minutes - absolutely brilliant!"

Absolutely brilliant!! We were going to buy a cream/beige coloured mobile to match our ds's cot bedding but got bought this one instead and am so pleased we did as my baby boy loves it and gets so excited when he sees his 'friends' go round! It has been great from when he was only just over a month old (think the black swirls were fascinating to him)until now (8 months) but have had to move it to end of cot so he doesnt try to grab it! Am trying to put off taking it down as he will miss it so much but think the time is coming soon! Would definitely recommend!

This product is a must-have. I was very sceptical generally of 'plastic crap', but this was well worth the money as it keeps my little one occupied for ages and he gets SO excited. Get one!
