Our Editorial Review
Product Description You'll enjoy the classical-style music, soothing lights and water bubble show as much as baby does with this crib-attaching Ocean Wonders Aquarium. Five ocean friends swim peacefully across the Aquarium screen while lights fade on and off in a tranquil pattern. Sweet songs or sound effects play, and bubbles rise to the surface. After ten minutes of play, both baby and you will feel cozy and relaxed. There are three modes of operation so that as baby grows, the Aquarium will continue to be entertaining. Busy activities help baby transition to quiet time. Requires 3 "D" batteries (not included). Measures 13.38" x 4.5" x 11" and fits most standard cribs.

Fish don't move! Posted 26 November 2007
My 3 month old enjoys the lights and bubbles but the fish get stuck on the track and don't move around the corners. This happened straight out of the box. I called Fisher Price and they said if I return the straps they'll send a new one in 6-8 weeks. I have to pay for shipping to return the straps. It always stinks when something is broke right out of the box! At least the bubbles and music keep him entertained for now. I wouldn't recommend this unless they fix the track. I also agree that the batteries are a pain to replace b/c of screws. It seems like many baby toys are moving over to this. As if parents have time to hunt for screwdrivers on top of all else we need to do! A plug in version would be great. This item takes 3 D batteries.
Is pretty good, weird attachment method Posted 23 November 2007
I can understand why they attempted to make the batteries easier to access, but really it doesn't buy much by having the pack on the outside of the crib. Installing it was much more complicated than the earlier version (although still manageable). This toy never made it to my 9 month old's crib because my 3 year old snagged it and likes to play with it (he had one when he was very young, but I didn't think he'd remember it, I guess he did!). It stands up by itself on the side of his twin bed up against the wall because of the new battery pack, so I guess that's a benefit?
The movement of the fish seems louder than the previous version, but not too loud. The light on this one is not too bright or dim. All in all, its good, I liked the original version better though :)
Don't let negative reviews turn you away Posted 23 November 2007
I was a little weary about purchasing this with all the negative reviews, but with the twelve dollar price tag I had to pick it up. This thing honestly took me literally less than three minutes to install. I don't know what these reviewers are talking about, I'm not trying to be rude I just don't honestly know. It could be possible the resolved what these people's issue was, but anyways, It's a great product that's not hard to install and is incredibly cheap on Amazon, pick it up.
You Have to Screw the Battery Pack to Toy to Prevent from Falling Out Posted 19 November 2007
I believe for $11.99, this toy is a good value, although I would not pay much more for it. To keep the battery pack attached to the toy, you have to tighten the four small screws inside the battery compartment to the toy before inserting the batteries. Now, whether this is acceptable to you or not, that's a different issue. I personally don't mind since it isn't something I'm doing once a week or even once a month.
The one I received wasn't producing any bubbles. I'm presuming the pump that produces bubbles is either defective or just too weak.
My daughter is 19 months is still enjoys it. She likes watching the fish
go around and she has fun turning on and off the music. I also had the earlier version, which she also enjoyed, but I can't say with any amount of certainty which one is better.
Awesome product Posted 17 November 2007
This is an awesome product. We actually had this for our first cild born 2003. He loved it. We have 6 month old twins and we bought this as they were kinda restless in their cribs at nap time and bed time. This aquarium does wonders. The boys are usually asleep or very sleepy by the time we put them to put, but some nights they are restless, we flip it on and it within 10-15 minutes they are sound asleep. This a product must have for any parent of one child or multiples. You can't go wrong with it!
