Ok I really love this item. I know how hard it is for moms to get their little ones to sleep, and for this reason alone, I did a lot of review and product reading to make sure that I purchased the best item for my little one. My review is therefore to help other moms, for a lot of the reviews on here helped me too. I purchased the Fisher Price mobile which is great, but now that summer is here, and we are out and about travelling, we needed something small, less bulky, convenient and that would get the job done. My little one loves the melody option on this. We feed her with the music on at bed time and by the time we are burping her she is passed out fast asleep. It has timer options at 15/30/45 min which is great so that its not playing all night. Greatest thing is that the music is not parent annoying. As parents we come across a lot of toys that whilst comforting to the baby, is extremely annoying to the parent. This is not it. Its easy to carry in the car seat and in the little portable crib that we got for her, and unlike the current mobile i have this increases and reduces the volume in an adjustable manner that's determined by the parent, and not two settings where its either high or low. And honestly for this price, it is a win win for sure. No negative reviews on my end. I'm so thankful I made this purchase. And like other reviews on her I only hope that this will also help someone else.
