Baby Einstein Symphony 3 Piece Musical Reviews Summary

Design and Portability

• "We took this on an international trip and it was the ONLY thing that would soothe our screaming 2 month old."

Cons:

• "The 'handle' caterpillar part is bulky and the beads barely move."
• "The handle is also a bit awkward to hold on to."
• "It's hard plastic and a little heavy for small babies."
• "It's too heavy to hold for baby by themself!"

Music and Sound Quality

Pros:

• "The volume control is perfect."
• "It’s not loud or obnoxious like a lot of the musical toys in their toy box - just enough to keep them happy without driving mom & dad bonkers!"

• "The music is much better quality than many children’s toys."
• "The variety of classical music is great."
• "The music is nice, has two volume levels."
• "The music is adorable, plus the colors and lights really draw her attention."

Cons:

• "The button to make the music play is kind of hard to use though."
• "I don't really like that the music stops after every song."
• "The songs are shorter and less robust sounding, perhaps less notes or sped up and sound like, well, a noisy kid toy."
• "The music always plays in the same order."
• "The music only plays for about a minute, there is no function for it to repeat."
• "The variety and amount of song selection is poor. I wish there were more options to be cycled through."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

• "It's a very high quality item but it was abused by all the kids."
• "Very durable toy indeed lol. Great purchase (:"
• "It has survived being dropped, either onto the floor or down the stairs, too many times to keep track of."
• "This toy is also really durable, as it has been hurled out of cribs and car seats at times and keeps on ticking."
• "Very sturdy, it gets thrown or dropped on the floor daily with no issues."
• "It has been hit, thrown, dropped and slobbered on with no signs of damage and is still going strong!"
• "No matter how many times he dropped it on the hardwood floor the toy was never broken."

Cons:

• "The baby had it for less than 4 days and played with it less than 24 hours total before the toy started showing signs of shorting out and not playing correctly."
• "Our first one completely died after I wiped it off with a Lysol wipe."
• "The back battery cover is not completely flat once it’s opened to put add batteries and seems both unsafe."
• "This version lasted less than a week of light use before it broke."
• "We got a second one, that I now will never use a Lysol wipe on. But this one has died, too! After only about 9-10 months of occasional use."
• "Both times it stopped working after a couple of months - the first baby device we bought that was this poor quality."
• "Worked great until you have to change the batteries and the screw just spins in place."
