- Really helps my older baby settle to sleep
We were given this light show as a gift. When our baby was newborn to be honest it didn't really help him go to sleep. From about 6 months though, it has really helped him settle and drift off to sleep. We use it most nights and the batteries seem to have held up well so far.
I noticed another reviewer mentioned the attachment to the cot - it isn't particularly sturdy being just a couple of velcro straps and older babies would love to bang it through the cot bars. We overcame this problem though by placing it on the floor next to the cot, well out of reach of little hands!It's a compact enough unit that you can do this too. Also, there are the disadvantages of no volume control and no option of light show only.

- Fantastic!
We bought this for our little girl when she was about 2 months old. She is now six months and this product is great. In the four months of using it, it has failed to put her to sleep within the 10 minute cycle only 3 times (when she was teething). Would strongly recommend it to other new parents!

My 6 week old baby boy has a thing for gazing at lights or the sun shinning in through the windows whenever he was awake and it would stop him crying too. So i decided to buy one of these to see if it helped settle him at sleep times. My god!! first time we put him down with it he was mesmerised and we didn't hear a peep from him. Works a treat strongly recommend it.

- Okay but not that great
Strengths:
- Very lightweight
- Cute music
- Cute pictures from the light show
Weaknesses:
- Can easily be pulled down by baby using its fingers
- Pictures are on a rotating disc, so may become boring after a while.
- Once the baby sits up in the crib, this can be hazardous if it't attached to the side, because the light has a warning not to let eyes come in the way of the rays.
- Probably useless after the child is four months old, if not before.
A better buy, in my opinion, would be the mobiles from Tiny Love that have farm or zoo animals. These are well-designed, durable, and can be used well into the toddler years (without the mobile part). My 1.5 year old still enjoys playing the tunes from the base that held the mobile (which I removed around six months). I could not bring myself to take it away from him to give to his sister, so I had purchased this little Dreamshow.
Rating: - Great Product
My little boy loves this, and I do too. It's great for distracting him as I leave the room before he goes to sleep. Wish it lasted longer than 10 mins though this is generally long enough.
My son is now 10 months and has started hitting the star so that it rattles the side of his cot so not sure how much longer it will be of use to us. Also, I live in Northern Scotland and even with blackout blinds its not dark enough at night in the summer to see the light show, still benefit from the music though.
