Great Investment

My son, Aiden, still enjoys this wonderful soothing crib "toy". It tells him a story, sings him songs, and show's him pictures with just the right amount of light. Not too bright and not too dim. He is 10 months old now and knows how to turn it on all by himself. Great investment.

A disappointing crib toy

I was given this toy at my baby shower by a relative with young children. I assumed her kids liked this toy and that's why she'd given us one (I hadn't requested it on our registry). Unfortunately, our baby has never been interested in this toy. I'm rather surprised because her Leap Frog Learning Seat is one of her absolute favorite things. However, I can understand why she's not interested in the Dreamscapes Soother. Personally, I don't find that there's much to look at - the flat lighted pictures that spin around are nothing compared to the three-dimensional, moving fish and real bubbles in the Ocean Wonders Aquarium (my daughter's very favorite crib toy). Moreover, the sound of the pictures moving is VERY loud. When we first used this toy (at night), my husband and I wondered if it was broken - that's how loud and grating the sound was. We figured out, however, that it's simply the noise of the pictures turning. Unfortunately, to cover up that horrible noise, we found we had to turn the volume up way too loud for sleeping purposes. Overall, I wish I'd kept the box because I am so dissatisfied with this toy that I would return it if I could.

Baby loves it but be ready to buy batteries

Our baby really enjoyed looking at the screen and listening to the music and stories, however it just seems to drain batteries very quickly.
