Sweet Island Dreams Mobile

Tiny Love

A grow-with-me nursery addition that may actually buy you alone time.

Our mom testers said:
"My baby lies there cooing and smiling as this mobile spins and plays music. She's so happy that I can leave her and take five minutes to myself. Imagine!"

Why it's a winner:
Tiny Love scores big with this updated crib classic. The Sweet Island Dreams Mobile combines the unique angles of three friendly animals paired with 20 minutes of continuous (and pleasant!) music. The bright colors and silly faces excited our little wigglers, and the delicate marionette-like movements of the animals captured and held each baby's attention. In fact, our little testers were so engaged that mom could actually take a well-deserved breather.

Unlike many other mobiles on the market, this one grows with your baby: The mobile arm removes easily, leaving a remote-controlled music box and nightlight behind.

Suggested retail price:
about $45
