Precious Planet™ 2-in-1 Projection Mobile
Animal friends from around the planet twirl and smile down at baby as music plays and a fascinating light show dances up above. The delicate canopy keeps images close, so it’s easier for young babies to focus. As baby grows, you can remove the mobile and project the show on the ceiling, with sweet music or sounds playing along. Mobile requires 4 D batteries; remote requires 2 AAA batteries.
3 musical settings!
1) Long-playing, continuous music
2) Music with motion
3) Music, motion & projection

Would have been great if it worked for longer!
May 3, 2013
"I was so excited to get this for my third child. I put it together, put fresh batteries in it and it only would turn on for 10 second incriments. I would literally have to stand there and push the button over and over which defeats the purpose of having the mobile! She really seems to be interested in it in the 10 seconds it's on, but I'll never know for how long as it doesn't stay on! Extremely unhappy."

BEST. MOBILE. EVER.
January 1, 2013
"I got this at my baby shower well over 2 years ago now and it has been the one thing we couldn't live without. It has grown with our now toddler and he loves it. We took the canopy off so now it just projects onto his ceiling. After learning to stand on his own, my son quickly learned to turn the mobile on himself if he needs it in the night. Just last night I heard him turn it on around 3 am (he didn't call for Mom and Dad until 8 am!). It runs for 20 minutes, which is key because it allows time to entertain and soothe before drifting off to sleep.
We pack it with us on every vacation (takes up some room but totally worth it). I initially thought it was too expensive but now I'm recommending it to all my friends since we've happily used it for 2 years and have no plans to stop anytime soon!"

Still using at 3 years old.
September 12, 2012
"Our nursery was done in Precious Planet and we had this on my son's crib. As an infant he was mildly interested. We took off the canopy at 5 months and continued to use the projection feature. When he switched to a bed we hooked this up somewhere else in his room. Interestingly, the older he gets, the more he likes this product. We have names and stories for the animals and he really enjoys it.
Suggestion to owners: use a can of air (like you clean your keyboard with) to clean where the image comes out. Dust particles will collect and it will look like the animals have little black spots!"

Best Mobile Ever Made!!
April 17, 2012
"My son has used this mobile since the day we brought him home from the hospital. It held his attention and helped him soothe himself to sleep from a very early age. He didn't like it as much once we had to take the canopy off, but we have attached it to the headboard of his toddler bed and he loves watching the images while playing with the different buttons to make different sounds. He has fallen asleep to it every night since the move to his big boy bed, and I can honestly say this is one of the few 'infant' items that has lasted past his second birthday. While it seems a bit pricey to begin with, it is definitely a worthwhile investment."

most used baby item
April 15, 2012
"I bought this mobile for my son over a year ago and he's almost 16 months old and is still using it. He loved it from the beginning, semi retired it for 3 months because his soothing needs changed, but started using it again in September and never looked back.
I have had zero issues with it and this unit has held up extremely well. I have it mounted on the tallest part of his crib and still have the rotating mobile part still attached because he loves it so much. He cannot reach that part of it and loves turning it on himself. He slaps the buttons on the front panel to turn it on and he happily squeals with delight.
I am well aware that the mobile part of the unit should have been removed many months ago, but my sons crib has a very tall rear panel that allows me to have the unit mounted in a way that he cannot touch the part that moves. I am happy that he still enjoys the mobile and that its held up to withstand a toddler slapping the front panel (he does wail on it a LOT)."
Response from Fisher-Price:By Consumer Relations, April 24, 2012
We’re glad you’ve enjoyed using this product for your son. However, we must warn you that you really should remove the mobile portion of the product from your son’s crib. If your baby gets entangled in the mobile or pulls it down, he could be injured. Babies develop so quickly – one day they’re pushing up, the next they’re pulling up to standing and then, reaching won’t be far behind. The developmental signal we tell consumers to look for is this: remove the mobile when your baby is able to push up on his/her hands and knees.

Best Projection Mobile EVER!!!!
February 5, 2012
"We bought this for our son before he was born so he would have a mobile and it is almost 3 years later, and he still loves it!!! After he was about 6 months old, we took the top part off so that it would just project onto the ceiling and ever since then, our son still loves to fall asleep watching it. The batteries last a decent amount of time (4 battery changes in 3 years) and is still working as great as when we first bought it. We even travel with it so that he has a "home comfort" when we're away from home. I absolutely HIGHLY recommend this mobile for anyone looking for something other than those small wind-up ones!!!"

Seems awesome, if it worked...
October 5, 2011
"We bought this for our daughter, who is due to arrive in one week. My husband put the batteries in it and set it up last night. Everything works great, except the projector. It doesn't come on at all. We love the music/sound choices and think that she'll really enjoy the heartbeat. But we're very disappointed that the projector doesn't work right out of the box... Makes us a little nervous to get a replacement, in case the next one stops working quickly..."

LOVE it!
August 5, 2011
"We have used this mobile since our little one was born. It was great to have the heartbeat sound, so that in the beginning we could play that for her. As she got older, we used more of the music. The projection holds her attention so well! Our daughter is 16 months old and we still use this every night! The big buttons that are easily accessible are wonderful! When my daughter was about 9 months old and could pull herself up on things, we would hear the mobile start playing in the morning sometimes! She had learned how to turn it on herself and it would even keep her content for sometimes up to an hour longer in her crib! The remote feature is a big plus if you need additional mobile time, too! This is a great product and I'm hoping it lasts through a couple more kids, but if not, I won't hesitate to buy the same exact thing again!"

Love It!
July 21, 2011
"My son LOVES this mobile and so do I! It's been a life saver. We've had it since he was 2 months old and use it every day for naps and bed time. I love that there's the 3 different sounds and that they go on for a long time. It has the traditional mobile features, but also has the projection on it too! That's been awesome for when my son could reach the umbrella animal part and we took it off, he still had that extra interest in it. BONUS: It has a remote control that you can use without having to go completely back into the room to turn it back on if your little one didn't drift off the first time!! Perfect for not making your kiddo cry because they saw you again. My son (now 1 year old) has now learned to change the sounds himself and gets so tickled by this. I highly recommend this product!!!"

regret not buying it
June 8, 2011
"I didnt buy this for home but sure wish I did. Im thinking about getting one for number 2 due in July. My sons daycare had purchased this for him. He loved it. He would actually fall asleep in the crib watching the projections. He hated the mobile with dangly monkeys we had at home lol. So far all of the babies that have had the privilege of using it at daycare love(d) it!"

Not All It's Cracked Up to Be :(
May 7, 2011
"Well, I purchased this for my second son who is almost 10-months old. The Fisher-Price music box that my first son loved (and still loves), stopped helping him sleep, after we came back from our trip out-of-state. I was desperate to find something good for him, to keep him from screaming when I put him down to sleep. This did NOT work, to my dismay. He looked at it for all of 3 seconds and then tried to roll over and started screaming again. I thought this would be neat for him to have---especially since we've never used a mobile OR projector before, but appparently, he did not care for it.
I like the idea of having a mobile and projector in one. The remote is a nice touch too...though I wish we could use it without having to open the nursery room door (ours sticks and makes a loud noise when we try to open it). I also wish that it was a little louder. Compared to the other Fisher-Price (Rainforest) music box that we have, this one was waaay too soft to hear over the air purifier we have in the room too. But even with the purifier off, it was still too soft for us. I even tried putting in a different set of batteries in hopes it would be louder, but that didn't do anything. The length of time that it plays is pretty good---even with everything on. The moving pictures is kind of hard to see, in my humble opinion. It's more like looking at animal shapes, rather than actual colorful pictures. Maybe it'll look better on the ceiling...??? Anyway, I hate writing negative reviews, but this one gets it. I'm hoping it'll end up helping....SOON...but for right now, it definitely isn't doing A THING. I still love my other Fisher-Price products though!"

We Love This!!
April 3, 2011
"We purchased the projection mobile about three months ago when our son was two months old. I cannot tell you how much he LOVES this product.
When I took the umbrella part out of the box to assemble it and he smiled and stared and then jumped and laughed, I knew we were onto something. We use it exclusively for bedtime and when I hold him over his crib just before putting him down (even before we turn it on!) he breaks into a wide grin and points his face toward it. If he is facing it during his nighttime feeding he smiles like it's an old friend. And the he talks and laughs "to it" when we do put him down. It has made bedtime for him easier and the joy it brings him is an added bonus.
I just wanted to share the happiness the product has brought to our family. Thank you so much."

Makes Crib Perfect
February 24, 2011
"My son will lay down, completely awake, coo at the animals, and then settle down for sleep. He loves his mobile, especially the light show. The remote is key, as you can reset it without him seeing you, or turn it off when he crashes out. We've used it every day for over three months, and the batteries are just starting to slow down. I didn't really want a mobile at all, but this one is a lifesaver."

Definitely worth it!!!
January 20, 2011
"I started using this with my daughter when she was 2 months old and moved into her own room. We started with the mobile attached and she loved the animals. She was never interested in the nature or heartbeat sounds but has always enjoyed the classical music. She has used this every night since and is now 10 months old. At this point we only use it as a projector on the ceiling and figured she would have outgrown it by now but still won't go to sleep without it. I was very impressed with how clear the projection on the ceiling was and even though it takes so many batteries they seem to last quite a while."

Excellent product & I Love the remote!
November 29, 2010
"I love that you can choose between 3 different sounds. I only wish it had an actual volume knob. Sometimes the low volume seemed too loud and it would disturb my LO. The projection provides enough light in the room to feed and rock my LO before putting her down, and enough light for me to navigate the room and even get items ready for the next day, but not too bright that LO can't sleep. I had to replace the batteries after 3 months of use. I love the remote so I don't have to fully step into the room to turn the mobile back on, and chance waking LO up again."

I know people have complained about battery use but we liked being able to position it anywhere on the crib not tied down to a cord in the wall. The remote only works within sight which is why we pit it on the door way and can grab it and turn it back on without her from seeing us. Its perfect and a great buy."

Best Purchase
October 21, 2010
"I bought this mobile for my grandson when he was 1 1/2 mo. old. At that time nothing would soothe him so that he would fall asleep. It worked like magic the first time my daughter used it and it is still soothing and entertaining him while he is settling down to fall asleep - at 8 mo. old. He still enjoys the music and the movement of the bright colored animals. He is still fascinated with the light show. Thank you so much Fisher-Price, this mobile brought peace to the whole family.
By the way, the remote control always worked perfectly and we have not found the mobile to be a battery eater."
