Fisher Price Rainforest Peek A Boo Waterfall Soother

Customer Reviews

Absolutely Love This!!!!

2008-05-27
I love this product and my four month old daughter does too. I actually got it as a baby shower gift (I put it on my registry) and had to wait until she was two months to begin using it. The colors are fabulous and the way the animals move really keeps her attention. It was easy to attach to the crib and my daughter seems to be able to see it just fine. The waterfall in the background is simply beautiful. The music is wonderful and very soothing. I like how you can choose between lullabies and classical music. We listen to them both. I do wish the length settings were longer, but overall we love this soother!!!! So glad I put this on my registry!

Baby Loves it

I love this thing, my baby will be sleepy but fight it, so I turn on this and he will go to sleep on his own. Now all I have to do is lay him down, turn this on, and within 5 mins he is asleep. He even learned how to push the button with his foot.

Very soothing!

We got this as a gift at the baby shower and I couldn't wait to use it. I had to wait a month while the baby was in the NICU, but when he finally came home and slept in his basinett, I tried it out and totally fell in love with it.

My little guy loves it and it seems to calm him down and get him settled into a sleep time routine. Now, we just turn it on when we place him in bed and he usually doesn't fuss to go to sleep.

I have mine set on 18 min w/ rainforest sounds and lullabies at the lowest volume setting. I've tried the light and the creatures moving, but he's not really interested in all that right now.

I don't know what we'd do without it :) :) :)

Bedtime lifesaver

2008-04-29
My son started using this when he was about 2 months old and still uses it at both nap and bedtimes and he is now over 5 months old. I shudder to think of how we might have gotten along without it! The soother always grabs his attention and lulls him into sleeps. Both the music and the lights are fantastic. Occasionally I will press the button for a second round if he is really fighting his sleep but usually one hit does the trick. Before he was sleeping through the night when he would wake up in the early hours of the morning one round of the soother and replacing his pacifier always put him out again. Other reviewers have said that the light is too bright but my son often likes to look around at his crib etc. before he falls asleep so the light is just perfect because if it is too dark in the room he often cries longer. Overall I'd say that this item is a must have for any baby!

Fun toy for babies

Our 6 month old loves this toy. As he is still co-sleeping with us, we haven't tried it in his crib to help him sleep yet. But he is fascinated by the moving animals and the soft music.

Great product

My son loves the songs and the lights show. When I turn it on for him, he will stare at it until he sleeps.

Perfect in every way except...

I ordered two of these while I was pregnant with twin boys. It came with batteries that actually worked for several months. My sons LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this soother!

Imagine my dismay when I finally had to change the batteries to find that one of them had movement and light, but no sound! I called the help desk who said they couldn't help me, I had to call the Germany help desk where no one spoke English. They told me I had to mail in the soother for them to repair it. I plan to do that this week sometime.

In the meantime, I've had to see a very disappointed 4 month old little boy. Every time my son gets into his bed he's looking around for his soother. So for the last few weeks I've let them bunk together.

Other than that, this is a great addition to any nursery.

Lights very bright, moving parts squeak

We have many of the Rainforest products, and this is the only one I've been unhappy with. After the first battery change, the swinging animals started squeaking every time we turned it on. The waterfall lights are way too bright -- it's fine for naptime/daytime use, but we don't turn it on at night b/c my daughter flinches away from the brightness and it just wakes her up instead of soothing her back to sleep.

love it

my now 5 month old loves this toy even when he was 6 weeks old, he is amazed by the lights and movement. i gave it 4 starts cuz the water is already getting very low, i thought it would last much longer than a few months, i dont know whether you can fill it or not.. the little bubbles that come out of the fish's mouth will stop of course!

Very entertaining! And an excellent car toy :o)

I bought this on a sudden whim when we were on vacation. We were driving around in the car a lot, something our baby (four months) REALLY doesn't like) and listening to him cry was beginning to wear me down. He loves it when I sing "Hush little baby" (you know, the mockingbird song) and when I saw that this soother played that tune, into my shopping basket it went. The straps at the back were easy to fasten around the seat headrest so he had something to look at from his car seat, and the minute I turned it on, he settled down and was really happy to watch it. NO CRYING!! :o) Now that we're home, I've found that it was really easy to hook onto his crib because of the straps. (The crib bars are really close together, meaning that I haven't been able to find a mobile yet that will attach without the help of yards of duct tape.) It's been nice to be able to put him in the crib sometimes and have him fall asleep watching his toy. :o)

I agree with another reviewer that the light is a bit bright, but it doesn't seem to keep him awake, so that's okay. Two different settings or a dimmer light would have been nice, though. I also wonder if I have a different version that everyone else, because I haven't found a button to switch between classical music and lullabies. It all sounds like the same pan-pipe version of classical lullabies to me. It's not my favorite music, but he likes it - ergo, mommy is a fan. :o)
