Recommendations for a long palying time mobile?

Rocklandholly

With my first baby, I choose a mobile that matched the bedding.  What a waste!!!! It only played for 2.5 minutes!!!!  How obnoxious...so this time around I need a long playing mobile and don't care what it looks like.  I know some play up to 30 minutes.  Can anyone recommend one they like?  Thanks!

Tiny Love makes one that plays for up to 40 minutes (Soothe N Groove mobile).

We actually have two - one we use at nighttime, and one for naps.

The one we use at night has softly glowing lights and plays soothing nature sounds and lullabies.  It's called Tiny Love My Nature Pals.  During the day we use Bright Starts Soothing Safari Mobile (no lights, just a regular mobile).  Both play music for a decent amount of time.  Also, both of them have an option of removing the mobile arm and having the music box stay attached to the crib so that older babies can still enjoy the music without you worrying they'll get tangled in the mobile.

Another option is a soother.  We have the Baby Einstein Sea Dreams Soother that has lights, motion, and music.  It plays for 20 (30?) minutes, and the music gradually gets softer the longer it plays to lull baby to sleep.  It also comes with a remote control, although we've never used it.

I couldn't decide on just one thing for the crib, hence the long list.  The crib looks pretty ridiculous with all this stuff hanging off it, but we get good use out of all of it, so oh well.  :O)  Hope that helps!

The Fisher Price rain forest one plays for 18 minutes and has a remote. We got it after the crank style one that we bought wore out in a couple of months from so much use!

Tiny Love is the way to go.  Bean used the mobile part until he started pulling up, and the music part (the moblie was removable) for as long as he was in his crib (till he was 2 1/2)

Thanks so much!  We have a small tiny love one that attaches to the pack n play, car seat, etc., which we got to help sooth my son in the car (he was one of the rare babies who screamed his head off every time we got in the car).  I like that one, so i will go with Tiny Love for the crib!
