While one can argue about whether you have to buy a mobile for this price, but I can recommend it only. Our little one is completely fascinated and is usually totally excited among them and looks at the beautiful colorful animals. However, if you are looking for a mobile, which calms the child and brings to fall asleep, is probably not quite as good advice here. We provide more increased activity of small party while viewing. Another positive are the jungle noises and can be that chosen between two different volumes. The three melodies are also pleasant and not too intrusive. With regard to the life of the batteries I am so far very positively surprised. For very frequent use these now last for three months. For two properties, it would actually give deduction of points: - The "remote control" has not really deserve this name, because their range is only about 2 meters. - The Mobile has an automatic switch-off (after approximately 15 minutes from alone out). There is no other way, as the Mobile after this period if necessary re-turn. A "continuous operation" - mode would, however, certainly desirable. However, when I look at myself as happy and content is our little with the Mobile, I forgive here in spite of these two "weaknesses" full five stars.
