Great idea, but a few problems
The good: My kids love their new 'light guys' and we no longer have to leave their room lights on all night. Its easy to take along for travel, and I plan to use them on car trips as well, since my daughter does not like being in the car in the dark.
The bad: I ordered 2 lights originally. One of them was defective - the black case on the AC adapter was broken so that it could open easily, exposing the wires inside. I got a replacement and that one had the same problem! The next replacement was fine, however.
The base charger is nice, but its hard to tell if the light is actually charging or not since slightly shifting the nightlight while it is on the base can change the indicator light from red (not charged) to green (charged).
You can only use the 15 minute timer with the blue light. It would be nice to be able to turn on the timer independently of the light color.
Leaving it on blue, the battery easily lasts 12 hours or more. However, the red or changing color modes seem to only last a few hours at the most. So we end up using blue all the time rather than enjoying the other colors.
MOBI GETS AN A+
I have purchased the TykeLights in the past for my kids. MOBI has done a great job with their newest one the GloMate. We just got 3 of them and my kids wont put them down. Even during the day. They have solid colors or a rainbow mode that goes through all of the colors. My kids put them on the charger base and take them off when they want to play with them. No touching power cords. I feel totally safe with these. I highly reccomend these. They are too cute.
My daughter loves it!!!
My daughter loves it the moment she got hands on it. She now likes holding it before she gets to sleep. I like the timer function which just shuts itself in about 15mins. The material looks very durable, it is like a hard (a bit rubbery) plastic. It has also the rainbow mode where it cycles through the different color. I was ready to order more as a christmas presents but saw Amazon has 4-7 wks leadtime now.

The Ocean Wonders Mobile with Remote Control bathes the entire nursery in a calming environment of underwater soft lights and sounds. The mobile projects moving lights throughout the room. Parents can select from one of 5 selections to play (lullabies and underwater sounds) as the three plush fish characters swim around above. The base has a soft clear front containing water with fish and glitter that swoosh around when the bowl is pressed. Handy remote control means parents can activate everything without disturbing a sleeping baby. The "grow with me" mode allows you to place the mobile on the dresser when the crib years are over, where it will continue to soothe toddlers. Requires 2 "AA" and 4 "D" alkaline batteries, not included.

Turn baby's nursery into a soothing underwater environment! A dancing light pattern of bubbles, fish and swirls projects onto the ceiling, and the light softly glows. Soothing lullabies and ocean sounds play as fishy friends float gently overhead. Inside the crib, baby can press on a squishy pad "fishbowl"! Then as baby grows, the mobile converts for dresser top use, so sweet dreams can continue right into the toddler years!

Not just for babies
I actually bought this product for a teen whose past history makes him quite afraid of the dark. It was suggested we get this mobile because it has a way to set it up on a dresser top, it plays music to cover over the things that go bump in the night, it has soft lighting, and a durable remote so my child can turn it on from under the covers. He was skeptical at first, because he is picky about the quality of his music, but the music is very well done. The lighting has four settings (ceiling show, glow downward which lights the fishies up, both, or neither), the sound has two volume settings, so if we have a particularly noisy night, we can turn up the volume for him. Because it's designed for babies and young children, the parts are durable, and the remote is easy to use, even when he's trembling in a darkened room he can find it, point it the right way, and push the oversized button. The only issues I have are that the remote does sometimes take a few tries to work, and I would have preferred an AC jack, even if I had to go buy a separate AC adapter, instead of it chewing through 4 D batteries. If this thing was designed to sit on a dresser and outlast a child's infant months, it would be nice if they'd thought of other options for power.
This is an AWESOME product!!!
Worth the time and effort to read the manual, pick up 4 D cell batteries, put it together, and start it up. This isn't just for baby. The music and light show are just relaxing for the parents too. My wife, baby, and I all love the product. It is harder than most products to put together...but worth it! Some of these reviewers need to RTFM before trash talking this thing. Last night, our baby was screaming her head off until I swaddled her and turned the mobile on.
Great and long-lasting mobile
I purchased this mobile for my daughter before she was born. I tried several mobiles with my son, and never found one that I liked; either the motor was too noisy, or the songs were annoying. This mobile though, is GREAT!! There are four light settings, 1)light show and mobile-illuminating light, 2) just light show, 3) just mobile-illuminating light, and 4) no lights. You can change the song that plays, just in case you get sick of hearing the same thing over and over again like I do. All of the songs are nice-sounding though, and play for a long time. No tinny music-box sounding noises here. My daughter has slept in her bed every night by herself from just a couple of weeks old, and I have to credit this mobile for a lot of that (as my son refused to sleep in his crib at all). She still, at 20 months, watches the fish light show every night while falling asleep. She still loves to look at the cute stuffed fish too, in fact, "fish" was one of her first words thanks to talking about this mobile every day. I just can't say enough good things about this mobile, and it would be a great addition to any baby's nursery.
As a side note, we have used this mobile just about every night for 20 months and we are getting ready to change the batteries for the second time.
One warning, though not terribly major. We used this mobile in our bedroom for the first 7 months (as our daughter was rooming with us) and every time we changed the channel on our television via the remote control, the mobile would turn on/off. This only happened when the mobile had been turned on or off recently (i.e. it didn't happen if we were using the tv in the middle of the day). Our remote just appeared to be on the same frequency as the mobile.

Great Hammock!
This toy hammock is just what we needed to get our children's stuffed animals out of the floor and up out of the way. I actually purchased another hammock from Amazon before ordering this one, but the Prince Lionheart is much better because it is made of a stretchy material and it holds a ton of stuff. The other hammock was really frustrating because it wasn't stretchy at all, and everytime you tried to throw a toy up into it, five more would fall back out. That doesn't happen with this one. It's a great buy!

This item was perfect for holding our Pilates Balls, getting them off the floor and making more room
Love this hammock
My daughter has way too many stuffed animals, and never has enough. They were all over her bed, the floor, etc. This hammock holds alot of stuffed animals! Her room looks so much neater now. She loves it too because it is easy for her to get them down if she wants to play with them. You can hang it at whatever height you would like and mounts easily. I recommend this product 100%.
