How to lull and entertain a child: TOP 5 best mobiles with a projector

The mobile of the French company Smoby is made in the shape of a flower on a high leg. The material of manufacture is hypoallergenic plastic, safe for the health of the child. The model is equipped with a musical dome projector that displays a large multicoloured image on the ceiling.

In order not to disturb the sleeping baby, parents are offered a remote control with a range of up to 3 metres. With its help, you can turn on / off the product, switch operating modes.

Smoby 211374 is equipped with a pendant with six toys — 3 large soft butterflies and 3 small plastic flowers. In addition to different sizes and colours, they are suspended at different distances, which contributes to the development of visual activity and spatial perception of the baby. The model is powered by three AA batteries.

The mobile is equipped with a universal mount. It is compatible not only with most cots, but also with various playpens and even strollers.

Smoby 211374 can simultaneously rotate the suspension, project an image and play one of four melodies (three lullabies and nature sounds). You can also turn off the projector and the music, leaving only the rotation. The duration of one work cycle is 10 minutes.

The disadvantages of the model include a fairly quiet music playback (in some cases, the rotation mechanism begins to drown it out as it wears out) and a small number of melodies. Otherwise, Smoby 211374 is an interesting option, worthy of attention due to its accessibility, versatility and bright toys.

The famous Israeli manufacturer of children's toys Tiny Love offers a multifunctional mobile with a dome suspension and two projection options — a filmstrip with animals and a starry sky. The model has a close relative Tiny Love 1303276758 , differing only in the design of the case and toys.

Tiny Love 1303006830 is a 3 in 1 toy. For the youngest, it is a classic music mobile with a rotating suspension. For children from 5 months — a music centre with the ability to project images under the dome of the product and on the ceiling. And when the child has already grown up, the mobile can be transformed into a night light by placing it on any flat surface in the nursery.

Tiny Love 1303006830 is equipped with three plastic toys — colorful and bright animal figures. They are easy to remove and clean, children often play with them separately. The musical accompaniment is presented by 9 melodies in three categories — classics, lullabies and sounds of nature. Music playback lasts 30 minutes, after which the mobile is automatically turned off. The sound volume is smoothly adjustable over a wide range. The model is powered by 4 type C batteries.

Some buyers are faced with a rather noisy operation of the rotation mechanism, notice creaks and extraneous sounds when the projector is turned on. Otherwise, parents note the high quality, stylish design and wide functionality of Tiny Love 1303006830.

The Italian company Chicco offers a mobile with a projector, made in the theme of the popular hero of Disney stories — Bambi the fawn. This cartoon character appears among the soft toys of the Chicco 07156.00 suspension, and is also shown on the projection. The latter is presented in three colours (blue, red and yellow), changing to the beat of the musical accompaniment.

There are 3 soft toys on the rotating carousel. They differ in large size and immediately attract attention. If desired, it is easy to remove them for washing (including machine washing) or replace them if you have similar-sized toys with loops.

The Chicco 07156.00 mobile supports seven lullaby melodies, there are only two volume modes for them. The total operating time is 15 minutes, after which the model automatically turns off. This is enough for very young children to fall asleep, but for an older child they will have to turn on the carousel again.

In general, the mobile is durable and reliable, easy to assemble, fully meets the high status of the Chicco trademark. Only a change of batteries will cause certain difficulties. The compartment is located so that to replace the batteries (3 AA batteries are needed), you will have to remove the mobile from the crib every time. The disadvantages also include the price, given the moderate number of functions, melodies and toys.

The mobile of the American company Fisher Price "Dreams of butterflies" is a multifunctional device designed not only to calm the baby, but also to entertain him. The model is powered by 4 type D batteries, so you should take care of spare batteries in advance.

The Fisher Price CDN41 electric music mobile has a suspension with three plush winged bears. They are dressed in pajamas of different colours. Thanks to the universal mounting, the suspension is quickly fixed on the rack and easily removed. You can also use it while walking in a wheelchair.

The strengths of the mobile include 10 lullaby melodies. They are complemented by the sounds of nature (forest) and "white noise", reminiscent of the sea surf. Volume control and automatic shutdown after 30 minutes of playback are provided.

The mobile projects the image of the starry sky on the walls and ceiling of the children's room. The projector can be easily removed if necessary: it can be used separately, placed on a flat surface (for example, as a night light).

The Fisher Price CDN41 is equipped with a remote control, which allows you to remotely control the operation. But it has only one button that allows you to simply turn on the device or change lullabies. You cannot select the projection or music mode separately from the remote control, as well as switch to the sounds of nature.

The electric musical mobile "Magic Stars" is the senior representative in the line of a successful Italian brand. It looks impressive, and in terms of a set of functions it surpasses its counterparts, including the Chicco Bambi 07156.00 , which supports projection.

The mobile is equipped with three soft removable, slightly dim toys made in a single colour scheme. They are located at different distances from the baby's eyes, so they will provide training for his visual activity.

Chicco 02429.10 reproduces soothing melodies qualitatively, has the ability to adjust the volume (but only two levels). The projector displays a bright rotating picture of the starry sky on the dome or on the ceiling. And the night light in this mobile is not one of the functions of the projector, but a separate element. It, for example, provides economical energy consumption of the two C-type batteries used here.

Chicco 02429.10 is equipped with a remote control. An additional feature of the model is the sound sensor. Thanks to him, parents will have to approach the crib less often or use the remote control, because the device automatically turns on when a child cries or shouts loudly. Probably, the presence of this function explains the rather high cost of the mobile.
