Crib Mobile
A mobile, with its spinning toys and soothing music, entertains for the first few months and is a nice decorative touch for a nursery. Most manufacturers recommend removal by around five months, when a baby could potentially reach up and grab it. If a friend offers to lend you a like-new mobile on our list, take her up on it.

$40
Recognized internationally as a top baby product, this mobile is the one to get, even if it does not coordinate with your nursery decor. As the mobile turns, animals and shapes move for visual stimulation. The soothing classical music can be played with the turning mobile or separately for quiet time.
$35
The ceiling light projection makes the Ocean Wonders mobile unique. The soothing sounds of the sea are also a nice touch, but the mobile itself is unremarkable.
$50
Same features as the $40 Symphony in Motion mobile, but with a remote control for an extra $10. Some parents swear by the remote to avoid stirring a sleeping baby.
