Playskool Lullaby Gloworm Amazon Exclusive Reviews Summary

Quality and Design

Pros:

• "Great value and you should definitely buy one because every kid should have a glow worm <3"
• "Great glow, super cute, not too bright."
• "It's smaller than the Gloworms I remember from being a kid, and soft enough for a baby to grab onto."
• "The toy is soft and light is a gentle glow."
• "The Gloworm certainly brings out her maternal instincts. She treats the toy like it's a small child, kisses and cradles it, and takes it to bed with her."
• "It’s very cute and huggable."
• "These glow worms are perfect for little ones."

Cons:

• "So sad Playskool changed the classic. The body is HARD."
• "The head was miss shaped and you could feel/see the hard insert."
• "The face is HARD AS WELL, but the music box is a square hard box in the body with minimal cushioning."
• "This one, is nothing like it in quality. Even though, it has an additional music features, it is not baby friendly."
• "Playskool has cut corners in this product and it shows."
• "Different style than what they used to make."
• "Lower quality than the older one."

Battery and Durability

Pros:

• "The batteries that come with it are 'demo' batteries, but have lasted quite a bit!"
• "We have opted to get rechargeable batteries and make sure they immediately get put on the charging station when taken out of glow worm."
• "Original lasted almost 2 years."
• "Our little guy has had one of these since he was a month old (9 months now) and loves it. For us name brand batteries, Duracell or Energizer seem to last a lot longer in this."

Cons:

• "We've been using this 3 weeks now and have had to change the batteries 3 times!"
• "Worked two days and died even with new batteries it never worked again."
• "But the main big problem with this is the battery life! It is ridiculous."
• "Battery life has gotten progressively shorter(despite using fresh ones right out of the box), and now the toy has stopped working altogether after less than 2mo."
• "The batteries die quite quickly though."
• "It eats batteries like it's its job."
• "Only problem is I'm switching out the batteries frequently due to use, lol."

Sound and Music

Pros:

• "The music is pleasant. It cycles through 6 familiar lullaby tunes a couple of times in the 10 minute period."
• "The melody for me is a good volume and the light glow from his face is not too bright."
• "The music is absolutely wonderful and soothing."
• "The music play softly and last for a while at bedtime."
• "The lullabies are nice and haven't gotten annoying over the monitor because there is a good variety and they're pleasant music."

Cons:

• "This effing worm is wayyyy too loud and bright for sleepy time."
• "The music is gawd-awful. Not even the least bit pleasant."
• "The music is muffled and quite annoying. It is not pleasant and soothing at all."
• "I just wish it didn't play this music! This music drives me crazy."
• "The sound is FAR too loud to soothe my son to sleep."
• "The music is way too loud for this to be for sleep."
• "The music is so bad quality and annoying that I never use it."

Packaging and Presentation

Pros:

• "They sent Prompt replacement though, and it’s just as described in listing."
• "I purchased it with the easy to unpack wrapping. It came in a little plastic bag which I appreciated over the wasteful store box packaging."

Cons:

• "Doesn't work! Item arrived not in a box not working! We changed the batteries and it still is not glowing or playing music."
• "Item is just in plastic inside a plain brown box. I'm gifting this so it would have been nice if it were in a shelf display box."
• "Did not come in the original packaging or contain batteries."
• "Toy arrived dirty and in bat up packaging."
• "Package arrived crammed in a box."
• "Also no batteries in toy and in (on) position."
• "Got this as a gift and it came wrapped in a plastic bag which wasn't too presentable for a gift."
