I had high hopes for this item but it was very disappointing.

Wonderful to find a simple yet good mobile without alot of frills; useful, stimulating, light weight and colorful. Like the "old type" of mobiles.

This is a really great mobile for both entertainment and visual stimulation/brain development. My daughter loves it and really follows it already at 9 weeks

I am not sure whether this mobile, as visually stimulating as it may be, is worth the effort it takes to assemble and change the discs. The discs are made of a semi-flexible plastic and it is a bit difficult to insert the tabs into the slits and even more difficult to remove them. One of the tabs broke as I made this attempt and given that it is recommended that the discs be frequently changed, the connectibility feature requires upgrading. It would also be nice if the graphics that are on the vertical discs were also on some of the discs that hang horizontally, since it is not clear that the baby can actually see the vertical ones, which basically act as supports for the bottom discs. That being said, the mobile does appear to hold the attention of my 3 month old for short periods of time and I like the idea that the bright and bold graphics have a purpose beyond mere entertainment. I would recommend it to anyone with the patience required to constantly change the discs.

I installed this when my son was 8 weeks old. I love it because I can put him in his crib now for some playtime without me being in the room. Now that he is 13 weeks old, when he wakes up from his nap, he doesn't dry right away for us to get him; we can hear him cooing with delight as he is looking at the mobile.
I really like the fact that the little cards are interchangeable.

I saw this mobile when I was decorating my nursery, but didn't buy it because it didn't match the lovely pastel decor in my son's room. Of course, after giving birth, I quickly realized that it's not about me and what I like in the room-- it's about him. This mobile keeps him entertained every single time that he lays under it. It is nice to know that there are several cards to change out when he grows bored of just looking at the black and white pictures. It's very developmentally appropriate, and I feel guilty for not buying it sooner for him!

I was hesitant to purchase this at first, becuase it didn't "match" my nursery decor, but it turned out to be one of my best purchases! My baby loved it from 6 weeks up to 6 months, when I finally had to remove it from the crib because he was constantly grabbing it. It made him smile just to walk into his room and see it, and he would lay in his crib and stare at it for quite a long time, which gave me time to do other things. Highly recommend this!

I loved the idea of this--no lights, no music, just basic shapes so our daughter could begin to see and focus on patterns & recognize basic shapes. Turns out it was the right choice; at 8 months, she still keeps an eye on it.

When ours arrived, one pair was broken. I called the company and had a replacement piece in mere days.

The graphics on the cards are very nice, my son, now 5 months old, was mesmerized by them. However, the holes punched in the cards (to attach to the mobile) are not uniform. Some of the holes are too big, and the cards could fall off and onto the baby. Since it comes with multiple cards, we just selected the tight fitting ones. Also, it attaches OK to our crib, but when my son was sleeping in his Arm's Reach cosleeper we had to attach it to the side of that with an all-pupose clamp from Home Depot.

My 5 weeks old son loves this mobile. He studies it for quite a long time allowing me to get things done around the house. It is a life saver in my busy household!! It is a bit flimsy but definitely worth buying to keep your baby happy!!
