I agree that in the beginning it was more stimulating than soothing and I didn't use it at bedtime for many months.
I did buy a second one to put in the car for him to watch if we were driving at night. It worked beautifully to stop his crying in the dark, and the remote was perfect for this.
If you do choose to try it in the car, I recommend you put it off to the side rather than directly in line with the car seat, because it is quite heavy and you wouldn't want it to hit baby in the event of an emergency stop. Mounting it in the car took some clever work with Velcro straps to fully secure it, but was worth the effort.
When we started using it at bed time, I would turn it on as I rocked him with his bottle, and put out the light when I put him down. In the morning I would switch on the light/music if I needed him to be entertained in his crib while I use the bathroom/get dressed. Worked like a dream for this.
As he grew older, he learned to stand and press the light button and the light/sound button. Now he even switches the mode switch on his own.
Here is why I am so in love with this thing: We completely black out his room for sleep. When he wakes up in the morning in the dark, he crawls to the edge of the crib and feels for the soother. Then he turns it on and sits quietly until we wake up to get him. I don't wake up to crying in my baby monitor every morning, I wake up to a faint click of the button pressing and the soothing music coming in over the monitor. Love, love, LOVE that.
I don't have an issue with the volume, personally. When it is strapped tightly to the rail, the speaker is up against the crib and this mutes it significantly. Also, I use a homedics sound machine to play constant rain white noise, and sometimes over the white noise I can't even tell if I turned it on or not with it set to music only. I have to hit the button a few times until one of a few songs come on that start on a higher note (like Air on a G String) to know it is even playing.
So if you use white noise and/or have a broad flat crib rail, the volume certainly won't be an issue.
Second thing to note is that it DOES guzzle battery juice like a college student at a kegger. Buy rechargables. No doubt, this is completely necessary.
When my son got older and we stopped driving at night so much, we took the second one out of the car and just had it ready for a quick swap when the batteries died on the first one. I know this is an extreme workaround to the need for a nascar pit crew ready with a power screwdriver to change the batteries during a baby meltdown, but it worked for us.
One suggestion I would make for the manufacturer would be to give a low battery warning before it dies, rather than it just turning off suddenly and leaving a scary red LED shining in the dark. Not a fan of that.
One more thing to keep in mind is that you do have to turn it on to get it to "listen" for the remote. I am not sure how long it takes for the IR receiver to deactivate because I don't really use the remote. But if it has been off all night, you won't be able to turn it on with the remote.
Also, the remote needs a line of sight. It is not RF so it will not work around corners or through a door. I know a lot of people wish it would. I learned to accept this limitation and live without the remote. I still love this soother.
With two of these on rotation for daily use for 14 months, I have experienced no defects or failures. That is more than I can say for that rotten Munchkin projector/sound machine that I exchanged four times before giving up on it... But that is a different review. Grumble.
Also worth noting is that I have the strap adjusted all the way out and it barely fits around my crib rail. It won't wrap around the side rail but it will go around the end rail. A handy DIYer might be able to replace the strap with a longer one. It is just a 1" wide nylon strap with sewn ends.
My end rail is 3 3/8" tall and 1" thick. It fits on this rail with a couple inches of strap to spare. If your rail is ~5" tall x 1" thick, you will be nearing the limit and should find a way to check one in-store on a display crib if you can. Any taller than 5" and I am sure the strap won't reach around.
Hope this helps with your buying decision.
Update 6/5/2014
STILL love this soother. My baby is now 1 year old and loves this even more now that she's older. She can now turn it on and off by herself and she falls asleep to it every night. When she takes naps, sometimes she'll wake up, turn it on, then go back to sleep all on her own. She loves to watch the fishes and listen to the music. I've still never bothered with the remote. She pretty much tunrs it on and off herself so I don't need it. Still works great and for as much as I use it (every day) the batteries last a pretty decent amount of time. I've never had an issue with it falling off or coming undone. The latch is very secure. She bumps it constantly, hold onto it while standing up in her crib, and hits it. Never once has it come loose or fallen off. It's very sturdy. I'd say of all the gadgets I've baught for my daughter, this is on the top 5 list. Definitely worth the money.
Another pro tip on this item - if anyone you know has a registry through anywhere other than Amazon, don't buy it from the other infamous baby stores - it's like $15 more right off the bat. My cousin recently had a shower and I ordered this through Amazon warehouse (there was the smallest cosmetic damage to the exterior of the box, but the crib soother itself was still sealed NIB) and it only cost $19. I simply called the store for where she had registered and asked them to remove the item from her registry because I had purchased it elsewhere. This allowed me to purchase additional items and still stay in budget!
Overall cute product, and great gift ;)
