Criteria for choosing the best mobile

Materials and design

The main part of any crib carousel is plastic, as well as fabric elements made of cotton and synthetics, and less often wood. Please note that the mobile does not have a chemical smell. The base-arc should be strong, inflexible, and the fastening should be suitable for your crib. There are three types of fastening: screw, clip or straps.

Mechanism of operation

Mobiles can be mechanical or electronic. The first ones are good because they do not require replacing batteries, but manual winding only lasts for a short time - a maximum of 5 minutes. Battery-powered mobile phones last much longer: up to 20-30 minutes per use.

Music

All carousels have it, but the style, quality and number of melodies can vary significantly. To avoid disappointment, “Price Expert” recommends that you turn on your mobile phone and listen to the entire “repertoire” before purchasing. A significant advantage of a good mobile phone is the presence of a silent mode.

Hanging toys

The good thing about plastic toys is that they are inexpensive and easy to clean. Soft-filled ones have a more presentable appearance and are useful not only for the visual, but also for the sensory development of the baby. In any case, choose a mobile model with removable toys. The location of the toys, which should be facing the baby, is also important.

Additional features

This includes a remote control, an image projector on the ceiling, an MP3 player and a sensor that responds to the baby’s crying, as well as all sorts of controls: volume, rotation modes, and time for playing melodies.

Mobile for crib with teether

Such carousels make sense when the baby is teething and becomes restless. To calm down, it is suggested to chew on hanging toys or some part of them. It is for this purpose that the following device was developed.

Giraffes Fishes

The electronic mobile is presented in the form of a musical carousel with rotating hanging toys. It is activated automatically after pressing the corresponding button. This is powered by two AA batteries, which need to be changed periodically.

The model has 5 toys in the form of fish of different colors - orange, blue, light green. The design is attached to the crib using clamps, so even if the baby pulls it towards himself, it will remain in place. The mobile can be used from birth.

The device is especially relevant for children older than 5 months, who begin to develop teeth due to the presence of a teether. To entertain and calm the baby, the musical carousel mobile contains 12 melodies and sounds; they can be selected depending on the child’s mood.

Advantages:

• Variety of music;
• Flexible volume control;
• Reliable fastening;
• Bright toys;
• High quality plastic.

Flaws:

• After the completion of the melodies, the rotation continues.

Fish tails are used as teethers. Growing up, the child can reach out to them and chew on them.

Rotating mobiles for the crib

Manufacturers of crib mobiles: who is better?

You won’t go wrong if you choose a mobile from any well-known world-famous manufacturer of children’s toys on a store shelf. The undisputed leader in quality and popularity is the Israeli company Tiny Love. Also, products of excellent quality are produced by Fischer Price, Chicco, etc.

The inexpensive segment is represented by products of Asian and Russian origin. Not all of them are of good quality, but “Price Expert” can recommend good brands here too: Smoby, Canpol Babies, Felice.

How to choose a mobile for a crib

An important condition is that it is made from hypoallergenic materials that do not cause irritation upon contact with the child’s skin. They also shouldn't smell like anything. Neutral, not very bright colors that do not strain the eyes are welcome. The presence of backlight will make the rotation process even more interesting.

View

If you need a budget option, then you should choose a mechanical device. It is driven by a special spring. For those looking for a universal mobile that will soothe and entertain a child, it is better to give preference to electronic models with a projector.

Materials

Wood is considered the most environmentally friendly. If a child has an allergy, it is better to choose a product based on it. If you want to use hanging toys as a separate element, then they should be made of plastic or textile. Fabric ones are easier to care for.

A plastic carousel is a budget option. It is easy to care for and hypoallergenic, does not collect dust and gets dirty slowly. Therefore, it is often chosen if a child has allergies. However, the absence of an unpleasant odor is important.

Fastening

The fastening parts must be firmly connected to each other and be large enough. Screw fixation is considered reliable, which allows you to attach the product both to the playpen and crib. The minimum permissible distance between the baby’s eyes and the structure is 50 cm. If there is a leg with a platform, it can be installed on the table.

Floor

Blue and beige colors are suitable for boys, pink, purple, and yellow are suitable for girls. White and orange shades, which are relevant for both sexes, are considered neutral. The main thing is that toys do not irritate the eyes and do not interfere with the baby’s sleep.

What is a mobile phone for?

Before going into more detail about the functions of this device for a child, you need to understand what a mobile is. Crib mobiles are rotating carousels that are hung on a hook or mounted on a bracket to the sides of the cradle.

Such toys can be completely different: musical, illuminated, etc.

Similar devices have been known in our country since the times of Kievan Rus, when parents attached wooden toys over the cradle of their newborn. Usually they looked like birds that called for success and good luck to the child.

Currently, the mobile phone for a crib has been significantly modified; it has additional functions and effects.

A modern children's mobile is no longer just a beautiful addition to the interior of a room, but also a great toy that performs the following useful functions:

1. Development of visual concentration. Toys that are hung above the child’s cradle at a distance of 25-30 cm are a good visual trainer. Some models allow you to change hanging objects, so for newborn babies they use black and white toys, since the child still does not distinguish colors, and by three months they are replaced with contrasting objects in blue and red shades.
2. Distraction. Nowadays, musical mobiles for children's cribs are becoming more and more common. Such a toy frees up the mother’s hands, since the melody that this device produces makes it possible to put the child to sleep or calm him down when he is naughty.
3. Decoration of a children's room. For modern women, it is not enough for a toy to fulfill its immediate functions. Gaming accessories are now required to complement the interior of the room. Many manufacturers, taking into account the wishes of parents, try to make entire sets in the same style: furniture for babies, bedding sets, crib mobiles. In addition, pendants are made in the shape of cute animals, cars for boys and stars and beautiful fairies for girls.

Do you need a mobile for a newborn? There is no specific answer to this question, so the final decision always remains with the parents.

At the beginning of a child’s life, it is difficult to interest a child in anything other than the mother’s breast, warm mother’s hands and dry diapers. And only after the fourth week do babies begin to become interested in surrounding objects.

Do not forget that a child’s hearing organs are extremely sensitive. That's why you can't turn on toys at full volume.

An excessively “screaming” melody irritates children and instead of calm children, mothers end up with excited and capricious toddlers.

Which crib mobile is better?

Toys should rotate smoothly in a circle. In this case, the child will watch the process with interest and will be able to calm down faster. This mechanism helps improve concentration. To be able to play with additional parts, you need to choose models with fastening on ropes.

The choice is influenced primarily by the purpose of using the item:

• If you want to entertain your child, you can choose Happy Baby Magic Batterflies with a projector that beautifully imitates the starry sky.
• Parents who cannot sing lullabies on their own should take a closer look at the Umka FS101512-R crib mobile for newborns, which will do this for them.
• Tiny Love Polar Fairy Tale is suitable for use as a toy, the parts of which can be easily removed if necessary.
• Those who want to combine a projector, night light and music carousel in one device are recommended to buy Infantino 3-in-1.
• Chicco Magic Stars does a good job of illuminating the space above the crib at night.
• If you need to imitate the natural sounds of nature, Fisher-Price Dreams of Butterflies will be useful.
• To put your baby to sleep faster, you can purchase Cotoons 211338, which projects the starry sky.
• For a child older than 5 months who is teething, the Giraffe Fish with a teether will be useful.
• Of the inexpensive mechanical carousels, Junfa toys A821 and Tiny Love Boom-box Sunny Glade deserve attention.
• To develop visual and motor coordination, you can choose Canpol Babies Bears.
• If your child has allergies, it will not be a mistake to get an environmentally friendly device “Picci Jasmine Pcs rtiC145A5309”.

A mobile phone is not a necessary purchase when organizing a comfortable sleeping place for a newborn. But its presence will make life much easier for parents and make learning more interesting for the child.
