Customer Reviews:
Cant believe I am the first to review this!!!
I have bought many things from Amazon over the years but have never felt the need to rate an item until now. This product is simply FANTASTIC!!!!! I have a 4 month old, and she is my first baby. I picked this up at Target a couple of days ago as an impulse buy - and I’m so glad that I did.
My husband and I had received many many many things prior to the baby being born so we as new parents had to ‘trial and error’ all the new stuff as well as get to know what it was like being a Mom/Dad. Let me tell you - when you put the baby to sleep either for a nap or for their bedtime normally they listen/ watch the mobile or have something similar attached to the crib. (We have the mobile AND an octopus thingy that plays a lullaby). The annoying thing with these are that you have to stand there and keep winding them back up or pulling the cord on the toy again. This wakes up the baby - not to mention that they don’t last very long!! I know I have stood by the crib (exhausted) many nights having to pull the cord up to 5 or 6 times before she dozes off. The Precious Planet M&M Soother only needs you to push the button once, it lasts a LONG time. YAYYY!!! Also it has 3 different volume settings as well as 3 different types of sleepy time sounds: lullabies, classical music, and nature sounds! (I’m quite fond of the classical one). It also lights up and the animals move around slowly as to not overly stimulate the baby at bedtime. You have the option of it playing music without the lights as well.
Take my (new) motherly recommendation…. Don’t bother with buying a mobile - they are cute, but useless. All you need is this product. I absolutely love it and only wish I would have found it sooner. Get it, it’s worth every penny!
Not as good as the Rainforest soother
My older son (24 mos.) has the Rainforest Soother in his crib and loves it. When my second son was born (now 11 mos.), I wanted a similar item for him. After trying the Baby Einstein version of the soother, which broke after 3 months (and the Baby Einstein company ignored my emails regarding repair), I chose the Precious Planet soother. It is absolutely adorable! It has great volume control, though not as many light/sound/movement combos as the Rainforest Soother. My big complaint is that the polar bear makes a grinding noise as it moves up and down. I tried three different soothers and they all did the same thing. I got tired of making exchanges at the store and gave up. The gear grinding noise doesn’t seem to bother my son, but it drives me nuts. I have come to expect a certain quality from Fisher Price and unfortunately this item doesn’t live up to that. Still, it is extremely cute. The grinding seems like it would be an easy fix, so hopefully FP can fix it for future models.
Not Perfect But it Does the Job
No, this soother is not perfect but it puts my daughter to sleep which overrides all of it’s faults in my book. I currently use the music only function while I nurse her and lay her in her crib. She has put herself to sleep in her crib every night since we started this routine. I anticipate we’ll use the full functionality (motion, lights, music) of this soother once she’s a bit older. Most of my issues relate to the motion mode so I may change my mind down the road!
The issues:
-When the polar bears cycle around the machine makes an annoying mechanical noise. I hear it but I’m not sure if my daughter notices and/or cares.
-The light is pretty bright in a dark room. My daughter squints at the harsh light when it’s turned on.
-No, it will not play for 18 minutes if you have it on the music, lights and motion mode. The 18 minutes is for the music only mode.
-The buttons to start up the music (to the right of the lion) aren’t easy for an older baby to press and start it up on his/her own.
In summary, I find some of the features annoying but it puts her to sleep so who am I to complain?! If baby’s happy, mama’s happy!
