Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It's always touch and go with baby products. Which is why I wasn't sure the Ocean Wonders Aquarium would be one that my son would like. How wrong I was. My son *loves* it. We didn't get it until he was about 9 or 10 months old so I don't know if it would have helped when he was younger (he's 1 now). But now after he's placed into his crib, he immediately turns it on and falls asleep to it. He's also figured out how to change the different settings to music, lights, etc. It's quite obvious when he's up from his nap/bedtime because you suddenly hear the music from the aquarium playing in the background. I had read reviews at Amazon that the previous Aquarium model (the Peaceful Planet Aquarium) was better because of different features such as lights on the ceiling which the current model does not have. However, because that model was discontinued by Fisher-Price, I had to order it from ebay. Unfortunately once I got it, it didn't work. I debated on whether to risk purchasing another *slightly used* model, or just get a new one. I decided to bite the bullet and get the newer model at the store. I haven't regretted my decision. I just wish I would have done it sooner. I am completely and totally happy with this product, as is my son. Another plus - it doesn't seem to eat batteries as much as other toys do. Definitely worth 5 stars. UPDATE 1/26/05: It's been over a year since my review and I still highly recommend this acquarium. My son (2) still uses this in his crib. Not sure what's going to happen once he moves to a bed, but until then, this will be put to good use. Definitely worth the $$$. UPDATED 12/3/07: It's been four years since I originally wrote the review. My son's old acquarium is currently attached to my one year old's crib, and she loves it as well. In fact, she actually prefers it to one of the newer acquariums that displays lights on the ceiling which really surprised me. It still works as great as the day we got it!
