 Wish I wouldn't have waited so long to buy Sep 02, 2003
By chicago mom
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!

Won't Travel Without It Nov 16, 2003
Our son is 8 months old and we've been using the Ocean Wonders Aquarium in his crib since he was about 2 or 3 months old. He has grown to expect the same song every time he goes in for a nap or to bed for the night. There are three settings on it, one is just music, the next is music and lights (this is the setting we use), and the 3rd is music, lights, and bubbles(vibrations). Now when our son wakes in the middle of the night, he reaches up and turns his music on himself and puts himself back to sleep! When we are away from home and we bring the aquarium, it gives him a touch of home and soothes him to sleep. I recommend it often to my friends who are expecting.

Another Great Buy Nov 10, 2003
We have used the toy since my son was born. It is still being used in his crib and he is now 13 months old.He turns this toy on when he goes to bed, when he wakes up in the middle of the night and in the morning. He can now change the music and sounds on his own and to his preference. He seems to really enjoy it! This toy seems more like an actual toy to him then a sleep soother, though. We also use the Nature's Lullaby Player by The First Years as a sleep soother, which works great (and I LOVE the night light feature). I give the Ocean Wonders Aquarium as a gift at baby showers now. I think it's a great item to have for the crib.

An absolute MUST HAVE!! Dec 11, 2003
I just love this little Ocean Wonders Aquarium and so does our little girl! We got it as a gift before whe was even born and I credit it with a full years worth of Great Sleeps! The music is beautiful, soft, and very definitely calming. It is so great that is has the soft lights, too, that act as little night lights as well as letting her see the fish move around in the aquarium. And the music stays on for just the right amount of time, too! Just incredible. The different settings are great, too. I'd also say its a great *very early* educational toy as she wanted to touch the fish at a very early age and, as a result, learned how to turn the aquarium on and off for herself and how to make the little star-fish twirle around by flipping the switch (that taught her to turn light switches on and off, too!). Next friend I know of who is expecting will get this item!! I can not say enough good things about it! 8)

Falling Asleep Fast Jun 05, 2003
My son loves his aquarium. Whenever I put him in his crib with it playing he looks at it with wonder in his eyes. What I love about it is that it lets me go to bed without worrying that he is going to be fussy. He watches it for a while and then just falls asleep.
