| | | Description: | | Now you can soothe baby with classical music, sweet lullabies, or soft nature sounds while offering a scenic light show that's just right for different ages. Mom can choose from Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and Beautiful Dreamer lullabies to help baby drift to dreamland, classical selections from Bach and Beethoven, or nature sounds like a babbling brook or tweeting birdies.Moms can also change what's projected to match baby's stage of development, sliding a new card in as visual skills improve. For newborns (birth-3M), projections are simple, high-contrast images designed to help teach focus. Infants (3-6M), get complex shapes and colors, designed to intrigue as visual skills improve. When baby is old enough, the moon and stars project soothing colors on wall or ceiling with its rotating base. The soft light also serves as a great nightlight. Choose a music length between 5, 10, or 15 minutes. And take the show on the road, for calm, comfort, and compact portability wherever you go. Includes a convenient handle for portability, three image slides that are easy to insert and store conveniently in the base and power/volume control.

 Perfect Sound SootherMar 07, 2010
My child could care less about the light show, but the music is perfect to get him to sleep on a fussy night. The sound controls, timer and musical selections are wonderful. This remains one of the favorite items I received at my baby shower. We use it frequently, and the battery life is great. Have only changed the batteries once in 17 months.
Wonderful toy and sleep sootherFeb 21, 2010
I purchased this toy while I was pregnant with my son. I started using it while he was only a few weeks old. Although I'm not sure how well an infant eyes are, he did seem to look up at the lights occasionally, but he mostly liked the music at this age. Once he started rolling over and sitting on his own this toy became one of his favorites. While he was younger the color and shapes of the actual toy seemed to keep him happy, and occasionally he would accidently turn the music on. Once he started sitting it was the stripped handle that kept his attention as he would flip it back and forth, and occasionally he would accidently turn the music on, soon he learned to turn it on on purpose. It wasn't until around 9 months that I put it in his room at night for the light show. He loved it immedietly, and although he preferrred to roll on his tummy to sleep he started falling asleep on his back watching his light show. Soon I found a way to attach it to his crib with some cable ties, and since then he happily turns this toy on whenever he needs it! Sometimes I hear it him turn it on in the middle of the night on the baby monitor. Now at 18 months my son still plays with this toy daily. Before bed, before naps, and fist thing in the morning! It is still attached to his crib and he happily turns the music on and switches between the sounds, I have it set to play for 5 minutes, and I haven't replaced the batteries yet! I have the fish aquarium also attached to his crib and it runs out of battery power weekly with less use, and now even after I put new batteries in the fish he just assumes it doesn't work and doesn't even bother trying anymore.
Pros:
*By far the best crib toy we've had. Well worth it!
*Baby loves it!
*Soothes him to sleep (boring to us, not to him)he loves the music and and light show, but not over stimulating
*Comforting, and easy to take along on trips or the sitters house (we used it on a 16 hour flight)
*Excellent battery life! Used daily for the last 18 months, set to play for 5 minutes and have yet to replace the batteries!
*My child still prefers the simpliest of shapes designed for the youngest child.
Cons: *No crib attachment, (however we attached securely with cable ties, however cable ties will need to be cut and replaced to change batteries)
*Wall images won't be very vibrante in a bright room (my son never seemed to care) we could always see them although sometimes faint
*Images may seem somewhat blurry on a high ceiling, or if not on a flat surfuce.
*Wish there was a remote control to use while baby was still to young to turn off and on himself. But he learned quickly.
*Wish there were additional design discs to purchase.
LOVE this itemFeb 06, 2010
My son needs some white noise to sleep. We went out of town and my friend didn't have fan to put in the room while he napped. She brought out the star projector and I used the nature sounds. My son went right to sleep! I love the 15 min setting. No other toy I've found has music that plays that long.
When I came home I looked all over for this item. Babies R Us and Toys R Us didn't have it anymore. Glad I found it on here.
I agree the projector is best in a dark room. The images weren't blurry. I like that it only takes batteries, because this is going over to Nana's when my son visits.
Its all in your preference, but I suggest buying this item!
Great productJan 31, 2010
I was nervous about ordering this product because of some of these reviews, but it met every expectation. I had no trouble seeing the lights on the ceiling, even in the living room where we have vaulted ceilings. I like the versatility of all the settings (volume, length of playing time, type of music played and objects that are projected onto the ceiling). I would recommend this product to anyone :)
Its AwesomeJan 30, 2010

My baby loves to watch the images on the roof.
