Fisher Price Rainforest Peek-A-Boo Leaves Musical Mobile Review. Fisher-Price Rainforest Motion & Music Mobile Going along with the rest of the Rainforest items from Fisher-Price the Motion & Music Mobile brings the magic of the rainforest to the side of baby's crib. It is the perfect accompaniment for a child who needs a little help falling asleep. It features a remote and allows parents to control the mobile. The Fisher-Price mobile features large, undulating leaves with shiny undersides that move down slowly to hide a dragonfly and then move again to reveal a surprise. The Rainforest Motion & Music Mobile has 3 modes of play including a music and lights mode which lasts for 18 minutes. Some babies needs a little bit of noise or music to fall asleep. The Fisher-Price Motion & Music Mobile from the Rainforest provides the right amount every time....
"I chose this one because it's soothing" 2007-02-13
By Alabama Reader (Deep South)
I compared reviews on this mobile along with the TinyLove mobile called Symphony in Motion and the Fisher Price Ocean Wonders mobile. I really like the fact that Symphony in Motion is award winning but the biggest drawback to that one is the fact that it can actually keep babies awake because of how active it is. And I like the Ocean Wonders mobile because of the ceiling projection but the drawback there is that people said you pretty much have to have the room pitch black dark to see those images well. Since we keep a night light on for our little one, we decided against that one too. In the end, we chose the Fisher Price Rainforest mobile because it seemed to be the most soothing and we were NOT disappointed. She tries hard to stay awake and watch the leaves go and colorful animals go round and round. But there's something about the slow speed of the rotation along with the jungle noise and/or classical music that just makes her drowsy everytime. My husband and I are VERY pleased with this purchase.
"Love it!!!!" 2007-04-11
By Kimberly A. Lamb (Long Beach, CA United States)
I love this mobile so much that I ended up buying one for my 3 month old niece. They love it too!! This is one of the best mobiles because of the movements and the colors as well as the fact that you still have a little night light with a music box when you detatch the mobile part. Not to mention that it plays music for close to 20 minutes. My 13 month old loves it (and so does my 4 year old). He is just mesmerized by it when he's tired and amused with it when he wakes up and turns it on after he's done sleeping.
I was a little reluctant about this mobile when I read some reviews about it being too quiet. I wanted to set the record straight. The mobile is quiet...but it's for a baby and you are trying to lull them to sleep so how loud do you want it to be? I think that the volume is perfect but if you prefer to make it louder or the house is loud you can switch it to a louder volume but we always keep it on the softest and it's just fine.
I highly recommend this mobile.
"Worth It" 2007-12-22
By K. Miller (Charlotte, NC)
When I bought this I was somewhat hesitant for 2 reasons- it's high price & because I really wanted one with bold primary colors. At the time all the mobiles I saw for sale we pastel with "critters" that faced up (baby sees bottom only) & were strictly wind up.
We use this mobile on our baby's bassinet. The way it attaches may limit what it can be attached to. My husband had a hard time getting it on securely. Eventually he was successful.
We use this item throughout the day every day. Our 9 week old loves it. The mobile circulates as most do; however, this mobile has additional movement as the leaves go up and down. This is eye catching for the infant. Also- if you turn it off while the leaves are in the down position it makes it very compact.
The base which attaches to the crib is bulky. It has a light, also eye catching, & sounds. There are 4 different sounds. One of which is a soothing jungle background (others are Midi type music). Our infant enjoys this because it has an interesting monkey call. If the room you are using this mobile in has any background noise the mobile seems too quiet even on the loudest setting. In a quiet room the loudest setting seems loud (the lowest is fine). You have the ability to turn the light on or off. The same for the music.
The battery life seems to be good on this item. It has an auto shut off feature that can be your friend or foe. It saves you in batteries but can upset a child engaged in it's movements! Luckily it has a remote you can use to quickly turn it back on (though it never seems to be near when I am busy)!
To my surprise - it was worth the money.
"Absolutely love it!" 2007-06-29
By Makuahine (Sunny Hawaii)
I was so excited when I purchased this that I brought it home and attached it to the crib immediately. It was so easy to put together and even easier at entertaining my daughter. The colors are so vibrant and the animals just loveable. The music is soothing with the volume just loud enough for sensitive baby ears. I can lay my daughter down in her crib and her rainforest friends keep her busy while I get things done. She smiles at them and talks to them and it is such pure joy watching it. I don't know who enjoys this mobile more.....baby, my husband, or myself. It is a must have for all families.
"LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this mobile!" 2007-06-03
By Olivia's Mom (Kansas City)
Did I mention I LOVE this mobile....more importantly my daughter LOVES this mobile. After buying an endless supply of baby things to occupy my daughter even long enough to get the bottles washed, it all comes back to this mobile. She is mesmerized by it and has a kicking good time in her crib because of it. I don't have volume issues like others here, and the selection of music is great--although she seems to prefer Beethoven :) In fact, if a ruckus is being heard from that direction, nine times out of ten it is because the music/motion has stopped. A simple re-start does the trick. I am serious. I can get as much as an hour to do things around the house. This is worth every penny, and knowing what I do now about it, I would have paid double!
