Safari Mobile for Crib Animal Jungle Mobile Baby Safari Nursery Decor Africa Safari Theme (Elephant, Lion, Zebra, Giraffe)

Product Information

Visually, it’s likely to win more points with the grown-up testers, as it’s just one solid object, so doesn’t allow for much visual stimulation, but the unique balloon shape will certainly take your nursery styling to new heights. Unlike the other mobiles we tested, Tiny Love’s take-along mobile is designed to move with you on your daily adventures. If you’re someone who likes products to match and you’re the proud owner of the hugely popular SnuzPod or SnuzKot, you’ll be pleased to know the brand has its own range of accessories too.

There are six melodies and four nature sounds to be played, but the winning feature for us is the multicolour projector, which works its way through an array of colours and can project stars onto nearby walls. French brand Meri Meri is best known for its children’s partyware but as its under-the-sea mobile proves, the brand knows how to instil a touch of calm too.

While this is made from plastic, the brand has done a good job of making this appealing to baby and keeping it attractive, too, with a neutral white-grey-cream colour scheme. Designed to calm baby with the help of gentle lights and soft sounds (you’ll need three AA batteries), we love the plush fluffy clouds and colourful raindrops, which spin, helping to stimulate baby’s eye-tracking. Unlike most musical mobiles, this one doesn’t feature a traditional lullaby – pull the small wooden ring and you’ll hear a melodic version of “Summertime”, a song by American composer George Gershwin, which makes a welcome change.

A three-in-one product, this can be attached to a cot, pushchair or car seat, so you can soothe baby on the go. To comply with safety guidelines and to ensure baby gets a good view, mobiles that were easy to position at a safe distance and felt secure were highly favoured. It’s beautifully soothing too, as it plays a gentle melody, while the design features subtle fairy lights that are hidden in the fluffy pom-poms.Each mobile is lovingly handmade, making it as unique as your baby, and sustainability is well considered, too, with the use of organic cotton textiles. While the Tiny Love characters might not be to everyone’s taste, our tester loved watching them spin in the air. There’s a Velcro fastening to attach to the cot (just make sure it’s well out of baby’s reach) and you have your very own companion to look over your baby while they’re sleeping. Other than being visually stimulating, baby mobiles are also thought to improve development, whether that’s their eye and head development while watching its moving parts or, once they begin to reach their arms out to them, their hand-eye coordination.
