We have a mobile and we have never used it. I mean, it's hanging there, but I don't think he really even notices it. He focuses on the ceiling fan instead!

We have a mobile and my LO loves it. She likes it when she first wakes p and is just hanging in her crib talking to herself:). I think that you honestly cannot have too many tools in the Baby Entertainment arsenal, so I say get one:). I bought a really cute one from PBK but it winds up and I don't recommend that! Get an electric one so you don't have to wind it every few mins!

@Foodnerd81: yeah, H's is really cute birds that match her tree decal in her nursery but functionally it is a total fail! When it's close to bedtimev& she's getting fussy I can stick her in the crib while I get bath/bed stuff ready but I have to stop every 3 mins and wind it up or she will fuss! It sucks but it's so cute I kept it:)

We never used one on our crib.

I'm still pregnant, but I've had a few friends recommend the Fisher Price Wonder Aquarium in the crib to keep baby occupied.

i don't think its necessary, but we have a mobile for LO. its the tiny love sweet island dreams mobile, and she loves it! she can stay there for half an hour or more just watching them spin and turn, talking to them. its really cute.

It's one of my favorite items. I think it needs to move and be brightly colored to really be useful.

I have the Tiny Love Sweet Islands mobile and lo LOVES it! Sometimes when he's crying, he stops only when I put him in his crib and turn his mobile on.

It plays Mozart and Bach and sounds much nicer than most kid toys. And the bright colors on the animals are totally captivating. You can also turn it on with no music which I do sometimes when he's really drowsy.

We had the tiny love classic mobile. Like the others it's not a must have but it's definitely a nice to have. We used it until almost 18mo!

@charlotte: I have seen Tiny Love mobiles on Nobetterdeal so check there before ordering from Amazon! I'm not sure about which specific models they have but they definitely had 3 different ones earlier today.

Another lover of the tiny love mobile! Not for sleeping though. LO is so captivated by it and it is easily her favourite toy at 12 weeks old.
