Review on Musical Mobiles:
Sweet Island Dream

If you are looking to get the best developmental and musical mobiles available in the market today, then I recommend you to get the Sweet Island Dream Baby Mobile by Tiny Love. (Click here to see where you can buy the musical mobiles)

I think that this baby mobile is the best for your baby because it enhances your baby's development and it has all the features of the ideal baby crib mobiles :

• It has bright colored attachment (in forms of cute animals) suspended in a way such that the fun part is visible to an infant lying on their backs. This feature gives your baby the much needed infant visual stimulation for growing your baby's brain at various developmental stages. Not all musical mobiles are like this since many of them have their attachment toys attached vertically rather than horizontally, so all the baby can see is the bottom part. In addition, the suspended toys in Sweet Island Dreams baby mobile are in bold colors, which is all the immature baby's eyes can see.
  
  
• It has a multitude of fascinating movements and motions which will captivate and stimulate the baby. Not only each toy (a monkey, a giraffe and a bug) has its own movement. The mobile itself moves all the suspended toys together in several spatial variations, which provides the baby with enjoyment and stimulation. In addition these movements improve the baby's eye tracking ability and strengthen the baby's eye muscle.
  
  
• This musical mobile provides hearing and sound stimulation by playing classical music. The maker claims that classical music provides superior stimulation at the part of the brain required for cognitive development; a phenomenon called the Mozart effect.
  
  I honestly think that the music played in this baby mobile is nice for hearing and sound stimulation. However, although this mobile plays the classical music melody, the sound of this baby mobile does not resemble a proper orchestra at all and therefore its effect on the brain development is still unsubstantiated.
  
  
• This musical mobile also The maker also claims that it chooses three different symphonies for 2 purposes: relaxing or stimulating. However, it is hard to imagine that this mobile is relaxing since it is full of things to stimulate the baby that the music can hardly have any soothing effect.
  
  Therefore, we think that any buyer should not hope to soothe or send the baby to sleep using this musical mobile since it is so packed with fun things to hear and see. Putting these two claims aside, we feel that there is nothing wrong with the music played by Symphony in Motion.
  
  We think that the music is nice for providing your baby with sound stimulation and enjoyment. Besides, when your baby does not need this musical mobile anymore, the music box can be detached from the mobile and it can be played separately.
  
  
• This mobile plays continuous music and provides movement for 15 mins. Since this mobile is battery operated, no winding is required. The length of time this mobile can be operated will give the busy mom time to attend to household chore or other business for a good amount of time. The only drawback of having a battery operated mobile is that it can break down more easily than the other type of mobile does. However, so far, Tiny Love is happy to re-send a new musical mobile should this thing happens.

In conclusion, we recommend this infant mobile since the combination of the elements described above, makes this musical mobile truly unique and sets it apart from all others on the market today.

This baby mobile is popular, so you may be able to find Tiny Love Sweet Island Dream locally. However, I like to shop online just because specialized online toy shops often have other hard-to-find items which I'd also like to buy.

If you buy this mobile along with other infant stimulation toy, I'd like to recommend my favorite online baby toy store: Genius Babies. While there, you can also shop for infant stimulation pack which is only available at this toy shop.

Otherwise, you can get this baby mobile at this popular online store.

Infant-Stim Baby Mobile
This is a more basic baby mobile which does a good job in stimulating your baby. It does not have all the fancy bell and whistles but is superior for infant visual stimulation.
