So much better than a Gloworm!
 
Review Date: April 25, 2008
Reviewer: L. Cabrera, Bellingham, WA USA
My husband wanted to get our baby a Gloworm. His desire was based on what he remembered of them from many years ago. The current Gloworms are not nearly as nice as they used to be - they play loud music and aren't nearly as cute.

When I found the Soothe and Glow Seahorse I was so happy! Firstly, it's cute, much cuter than the Gloworm models. Secondly, the music and sounds are also much much better - the music is quality and the volume can be adjusted. The sea sounds are a nice touch as well.

Unlike the Gloworm, the Soothe and Glow Seahorse actually does help baby wind down with it's gentle music and ocean sounds. I would recommend this toy any day.
BETTER than the traditional gloworm

We first bought a gloworm. Piece of junk if you ask me. The Soothe & Glow Seahorse is FANTASTIC! It plays music for 5 minutes as well as soothing ocean sounds like waves & bubbles. My kids love it! It was purchased for my now 4 month old (we bought him the gloworm originally that hardly played a song despite following all the directions)but my 20 month old is constantly stealing it to soothe him to sleep as well. This makes putting my kids to bed a piece of cake I never have to struggle to get my 20 month old in bed he just jumps right in as long as I have glowie the seahorse!
You can turn off the music easily

I purchased this seahorse around January 2008. I almost returned it because, although it's nice that the music plays for around 5 minutes (we timed 6 1/2 minutes), I didn't want to keep it if there wasn't a way to easily turn off the music without it playing all the way through. There is no mention anywhere on the box or in the manual that you can turn off the music other than by going inside the velcro and turning off the on/off switch (and who would want to do that and wake up the sleeping baby with the loud velcro?) Then, by accident, we found that if you press and hold the seahorse's chest for several seconds the music will gently fade and turn off. I called Fisher-Price and let them know so hopefully they'll add this information to the box and manual soon. It's a bit "head heavy" which makes it a little hard to handle. It's not machine washable like the original Gloworm, only "surface washable". Great product overall. It's so darn cute.
GREAT TOY

I bought two of these, one for a my friend's 1 yr old and one for my 4 yr old. My son LOVES this toy and sleeps with it every night. Lately his imagination picked up and he's been afraid of monsters and creatures but now that he has this, he says the light and music scares all frightening things including mosquitoes away.
I was concerned that the music would be too loud at night but it doesn't seem to effect him. He holds it tight and is soon asleep. The music, when on low, is still loud to me when the lights are off and there are no other noises to distract him. He loves it and carries it around even during the day.
The light is bright at night also but when turned to face away from my son and his eyes are closed, it doesn't seem to bother his attempts at falling asleep. I definately recommend this.
Must-Have Sleep Aid

I fully credit this seahorse with getting my baby to soothe herself to sleep. I began turning it on each night during her bedtime feeding (she would always fall asleep when nursing). After doing this for a couple of weeks, I was able to put my baby in her crib while she was still awake -- as long as the seahorse was with her! There are a few reasons why this is such a great item for sleep association:

1. The light provides a gentle glow instead of a harsh glare.
2. There are two volume levels to choose from.
3. The music is VERY soothing.
4. After it plays for about six minutes, the light and the music SLOWLY fades away so there is no sudden silence to jar your baby.

My only complaint is that it doesn't play for a longer period of time. If it would play for 20 minutes or so, I think this product would be absolutely perfect. Nonetheless, I still believe this is a must-have item.
MY 2 YEAR OLD LOVES IT!!

I was really surprised to see how much my 2 year old daughter loves it! The manufactures recommended age is 3 months and up so I thought it would be too much of a "baby toy" for an active toddler but I was wrong. She wont go to bed without it!! Great toy for the price, absolutely adorable!!!
Perfect soother!

Both of my toddlers have glo worms, so I decided to pick one up for my 3 month old so he would have something to soothe him in the dark when we go to sleep. I found this instead, and he loves it! His first reaction was a smile. I love that it plays more than one song, and the music is very soothing. The glow worm music tends to get on my nerves, but I actually like listening to this one. It's very soft and snuggly, and I like that the head isn't hard plastic so it won't clonk baby in the face if he snuggles it. The toddlers even like it better, so I will probably sell our gloworms in a garage sale and get a couple more of these.
Great addition to any family; cheaper price at Target

Our 6-month old took to "Sydney" the seahorse right away. He's 17 months now. Its been helpful to have a common item when we travel overnight. We bought a second as a backup just in case Sydney #1 has an accident. The second one was purchased at Target for $11.99.
