We got this for my son for Christmas when he was a baby, so he'd have something to replace his mobile when he outgrew it. While I completely agree with reviewers that it is a pain to install and remove (very poorly designed in that regard), my son is 2 1/2 and still loves it. The bubbles stopped working by the time we changed the batteries the first time, but my son didn't seem to care about the bubbles anyway. Since he moved into a big boy bed, we removed the aquarium and put in on his bedside table, and it really helped him make the transition. We usually keep it on the music and lights setting, and I don't think it's too bright (although his room is pretty dark otherwise, so it also functions as a bit of a nightlight for going to sleep). It is certainly well worth what we paid (not the $88 I'm noticing it for on Amazon today, although FP may have discontinued this model in favor of the waterfall soother).

I should have written my review much sooner because we've been using this crib toy for about 20 months now and both the parents and baby love it!
Pay close attention to the "Product Description" of the Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Musical Aquarium Crib Attachment, which states: "It Measures 13.38" x 4.5" x 11" and fits most standard cribs."
None of the 4-in-1 sleep systems or convertible style cribs are what is considered a "standard crib" for this definition. [...]
This will not fit cribs that have a really wide top rail, or what I call the "sleigh-type" rail (see D. Lovely's customer image). The rail that is shown in the manufacturer's picture is narrow similar to what the "standard" or "traditional" cribs have.
For those who have had trouble installing it, what about trying to attach it at the head or foot of the crib instead? That is where we installed ours because it seemed more logical than the sides of the crib in order for the baby to look at it and play with it, even though ours would fit on either of the head/foot or side rails.
Also take note that there are screws for both attaching the battery box to the toy itself and screws for the battery box cover. It seems some people did not find all of the screws or did not have the instructions, etc.
I really like the fact that the battery box unscrews from the toy itself in order to replace the batteries; it's much more convenient than having to remove the entire thing from the crib to reach the battery compartment. With this newer model (produced in 2005 and discontinued in 2007) it plays 4 songs or 2 sound effects for 10 minutes and has 3 modes of play with lights, movement, bubbles, and music. It even has two little toys - a rolling crab and a starfish in a ball for babies to roll and play with. For $30 (original retail price), I think it does quite a bit and has worked wonderfully for us. My child can now even turn it on and change the modes and music without mommy or daddy's help.
Whats up with Amazon? I bought this one for 11.99$ during X'mas its for 20$ at Toysrus who would like to pay 45$ for this thing when there are better crib toys..

My baby (now 9 months) has loved this since he was little. The music quality is great and he enjoys the lights and bubbles. The problem is that he wakes himself up in the middle of the night by accidentally turning it on. It also makes a lot of noise when he bumps into it (even without turning it on) and it wakes me up over the baby monitor. So...we installed it in his play area, on our gate, and he loves it.

I bought this used at a consignment sale for my daughter almost two years ago. It's wonderful. It has always been what we use to put her to bed, I'm hoping it will make the transition out of her crib easier. The only thing I don't like about it is when the batteries are dying it will make one solid pitched sound until you turn it off. Other than that I highly recommend it for a baby!
