Summary: My son hated his carseat...
Comment: When my son was two months old, he all of a sudden HATED being in the infant carseat. So driving in the car was very stressful because of his desperate cries. This mobile was a lifesaver for me! Once we started using it he didn't cry anymore, so we swear it was because of the mobile. Since we drive a SUV, we were able to clip it to the ceiling of where the middle seat belt extends from. For us, clipping it on the infant carrier's handlebar was too close to the baby's face.
I definitely recommend it to any parents that faces the same situation we did.

Summary: Amazing - I can't live without it
Comment: This thing is amazong. I can't live without it. I bring it everywhere. I even attached it to the seat-back table of the airplane recently!

Summary: Great for Bassinets
Comment: I ordered this for my 1 month old because he started to look around his bassinet and he didn't have anything colorful to look at. Regular mobiles can't be attached to a bassinet. He now stares and smiles at this mobile as if it's his friend. He is engrossed by it and stares at the black and white patterns long enough for me to brush my teeth and get ready for the day ahead. This is a big deal, because usually, babies need constant attention, but this mobile keeps him occupied. I can also attach it to his playmat.
I'm going to order another one by tiny love for him.

Summary: Wonderful toy...and wonderful sounding!
Comment: My daughter and I both love this toy - she loves the music and the "0-3 month" side of the mobile "paddles," or arms (the flat ones with stickers). I love the music as it is all classical, and a fair representation of the actual music (only Chopin gets a little "tinny" on a few notes, but nothing I cannot live with).
Other favorite elements include: 1)it plays continuously (I hate musical toys that turn off after a preset period of time - so annoying), 2)it has a "mute" setting, for movement without sound (great for restaurants and bookstores) and 3) it comes with the "lobster" claw attachment, which is removable from this mobile, and useable to attach a multitude of other toys to just about anything (I totally disagree with the reviewer who said they could not attach this to virtually anything - I can attach it to virtually *everything*...I use this all over, with multiple toys from multiple brands. It was most useful in attaching everything to the hood of a bassinette).
I like that one can attach the mobile via the lobster claw OR the velcro-ed elastic strap: very versatile for a multitude of objects. It is a perfect size for travel: not too small, and not too large.
My daughter ADORES this mobile. She would stare at it contentedly for parent-friendly blocks of time (from 3-5 mo. or so) in the bassinette. She never liked the older-child, soft plush figures as much as the flat, 2D, images in black/white/red (even after she could see color, and 3D). She loves the music even now at 8 months, so it's not a big deal, but Tiny Love (TL) could improve the color contrast or interest of the plush "guys." She and I also liked that the plush figures stick w/ velcro to the three rotating paddles, but can also be pulled down to dangle via the attached string below the paddles for added movement/interest (they don't come off completely). Three different viewing modes for the price of one.
I gave it four stars due to the so-so interest on the plush toy side.
In general (not affecting my review of the mobile), TL should include this "lobster" claw attachment clip with all sold-separately accessories such as the Baby's First Wind Chimes - Garden. I highly recommend both this mobile and the chimes as a perfect pair for months 3-5...and beyond.

Summary: Love how portable it is!
Comment: Bought this for our daughter before she was born and started using it about a week after she was born. She loves to look at both sides (the 3 "paddles" are reversible). She is almost 8 weeks now and loves batting at the cute little bugs hanging down.
The music it plays is not too annoying - we've had it on while we slept more than once without a problem! And if you're somewhere music isn't appropriate (although I don't care if anyone has a problem with the music - would they rather hear a screaming baby???), there is a mute option and the mobile keeps spinning.
I use the lobster clip for her bassinet and stroller and the velcro for her carseat. I had heard bad things about the lobster clip not working, but I've never had a problem with it at all. The mobile is a little heavier than you would expect and I have worried about a possible injury if it were to fall, however, if you're worried about it, then just use the velcro attatchment instead of the lobster clip. But like I said, I've never had a problem with the lobster clip and she bats at it quite a bit!
GREAT FOR SHOPPING TRIPS, RESTAURANTS, DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS, ETC to keep your baby occupied!
One recommendation would be to get rechargeable batteries so you don't go through so many. I just recently changed the batteries for the first time, we used it A LOT, and it lasted about 6 weeks so I think that's pretty good.
I considered Tiny Love's other on the go mobile that is wind-up, however decided battery operated is best for outings when you don't want to be messing with it all the time.
Great price.
Love the colors.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - You won't regret getting this!
