Bottom Line
The Baby Einstein Sea Dreams Soother Musical Crib Toy provides a great opportunity to be able to have a bedside crib mounted product that has both calming visual and musical elements in addition to having an underwater setting. The longest sooth cycle of all available products, along with its remote control function as well as it's ocean themed visual display make this product one of the best options. However, the largest drawback would include having to replace batteries periodically and being unable to turn off or extend the auto-shutoff time.
