As the music box plays, it also turns the hook holding all of the dangling toys, meaning they gently rotate as the melody plays out. Other than being visually stimulating, baby mobiles are also thought to improve development, whether that’s their eye and head development while watching its moving parts or, once they begin to reach their arms out to them, their hand-eye coordination.

Unlike the other mobiles we tested, Tiny Love’s take-along mobile is designed to move with you on your daily adventures.Shaped like a balloon and featuring a gorgeous pressed leaves print, this musical mobile should help baby float off to the land of nod. The “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”-inspired tune is gentle and soothing while the mobile arm ensures you can place it in the safest and most visible place on the cot. The “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” -inspired tune is gentle and soothing while the mobile arm ensures you can place it in the safest and most visible place on the cot.

But they go beyond fluffy décor – they are designed to stimulate and soothe babies, allowing them to drift off to the land of nod. As the mobile comes with an arm to attach it to the cot, it was easy to place it in the right position. It’s beautifully soothing too, as it plays a gentle melody, while the design features subtle fairy lights that are hidden in the fluffy pom-poms. Each mobile is lovingly handmade, making it as unique as your baby, and sustainability is well considered, too, with the use of organic cotton textiles. The arm frame comes in six neutral colours, matching the SnuzPod colourways, and the mobile itself follows the neutral theme, with grey and white accents across puffy white clouds, plush stars, and a curvy crescent moon.Designed with a traditional hanging ring, this one has been made with bamboo and then wrapped in a plush organic knitted cotton. While the Tiny Love characters might not be to everyone’s taste, our tester loved watching them spin in the air. To comply with safety guidelines and to ensure baby gets a good view, mobiles that were easy to position at a safe distance and felt secure were highly favoured.

Suspended above baby, the three sweet teddy bears look adorable as they rotate elegantly in the air. If you’re in the throes of decorating your baby’s nursery and currently don’t know the baby’s sex, the Kaloo all-soft musical mobile makes a great unisex choice. They’re attached to a music box that turns as the lullaby plays out, making them dance above baby’s head.There’s a Velcro fastening to attach to the cot (just make sure it’s well out of baby’s reach) and you have your very own companion to look over your baby while they’re sleeping. The creatures have a subtle metallic thread detailing, which shimmers beautifully in the right light, and the neon fish is a cool contrasting pop of colour.

Our only gripe is that the tune could last a little longer but, even without the music, it’s a joy to look at. A three-in-one product, this can be attached to a cot, pushchair or car seat, so you can soothe baby on the go. In the box you’ll find five soft toys, a wooden frame and a music box, which need to all be put together and then attached to the cot, there’s instructions but it’s a straightforward task.

Due to the wooden frame, the mobile is the perfect and safe distance from baby, allowing them to appreciate the swaying figurines – and what’s not to love about these sea-inspired creatures, there’s even an oyster shell with built-in mirror.
