Baby Einstein Sea Dreams Soother

This was bought for us as a baby shower gift. Right off the bat it felt very cheap. When we opened it the battery compartment was full of orange residue. I cleaned it out best I could and replaced the batteries. After that it only ended up working for maybe a month (keep in mind, we maybe used it only once a day) and then it just kept repeating the same short tune over and over while the lights flickered. Replaced the batteries, did not fix the issue. I just feel bad that someone spent $40 on this and we can’t even use it.

I have purchased 5 of these each of which the characters stop moving and follows with extreme battery usage.

I am disappointed to have to rate this so low, because the idea of this is wonderful. However the quality is terrible. I had two of these for my two children and with the first one the machine got so loud from the moving parts and eventually went out to where it didn't move at all. The second one worked well for about a month and is now so loud that you can hardly hear the music. They both suck down the batteries. I wish they would figure it out to work better because I would highly recommend it otherwise, however, it has poor quality and ends up being broken. And it isn't cheap!

We bought this for our first son 4 years and it's still going, mostly, so we didn't hesitate to buy it again for our new baby. We have now bought two of these for our infant son and both have failed within weeks of purchase. The new version of this crib toy makes a chime when it's turned on or switches modes. Both toys began repeating this chiming sound constantly, instead of the chosen mode. Useless.

I have owned 2 other soothers that were given to me for my older children. They love them and they continue to work even though they are second hand. Since my other children still use them I decided to give my newborn his own for christmas. The connecting mechanism to strap this to a crib is so much easier, which I love. However, we have barely used it in the last 3 months and the animals no longer move and the music doesn't really play. Volume on this, even on the lower setting, is also too loud. (in my opinion) In short, I would not recommend this soother to anyone. Save yourself money and look into a different on.

given to us as a gift for our unborn daughter, opened it up and power slide was on, opened battery hatch to find all batteries were corroded and have leaked through the unit

I loved the idea of this and our 5 month old enjoyed it and fell asleep to it well. But a few days later the music started to glitch and it didnt move anymore. This was bought out of town and I dont have the box to return it. Disappointed. Waste of $40.

After going back and forth between a few, I am glad we chose the Sea Dreams Soother Crib Toy for our little ones nursery. The soother attached easily and securely to his crib. My little one loves lying in his crib watching the lights. The melodies soothe him and the characters are absolutely adorable! All the lights, sounds, and motions are all very slow and relaxing and usually in no time he is fast asleep. It really does help our little one calm down and get to sleep. I like that this has different settings and how after ten minutes, the volume slowly fades away. The light function on the soother has been a lifesaver especially when I can’t find his binky! The remote is also very useful as I can just turn in back on from my room if needed. I have also attached this to the head rest in my car and used it on long drives to help keep him calm. I definitely recommend this product as bedtime will be a lot more enjoyable!
