Which music box to choose for a child? Overview of Music Boxes for Toddlers

The music box is designed to calm the baby and put him to sleep, especially in cases of waking up at night when his guardians are sleeping. Wondering which model is right for your child? We present several proposals for music boxes ideal for newborns and older children.

Newborn Music Carousel - Fisher Price, Teddy Bear Carousel 

The first model that made our list is a carousel with a music box for easy attachment to a crib. It consists of three separate components: a stand, a head and a carousel with cute teddy bears. The music box for the child is attached to the head and allows you to play three different soothing melodies. The sounds are activated for 30 minutes and can be turned on, off or switched remotely using the included remote control. Thanks to this, the parent does not need to go to the crib and thus wake the baby in order to start the music box. What's more, the music box head is also a star projector. In addition to listening to a soothing melody, a child can watch fairy stars hovering in the air above his mouth. Thanks to the possibility of detaching this element, an older child can also use the projector with a music box, standing on a chest of drawers by the bed. An additional advantage is the possibility of dismantling the carousel and installing it, for example, in a trolley above the gondola.

Baby soft music box - Skip Hop, Unicorn 

The vast majority of kids love soft toys. It is not surprising, because when the parent is not around, we can say that it is these “nice friends” who look after the child and allow him to cuddle. Thus, they give the baby a certain sense of security. In the case of Skip Hop Unicorn, childcare becomes almost literal. It is equipped with a music box with a cry activation system that detects the baby's cry and automatically responds to it by making one of the sounds. And there are several possibilities here - this music box for a newborn is equipped with 3 lullabies, 3 mute sounds and the ability to record the voice of the parent. Thanks to the last function, the guardian can record his own lullaby, which he usually sings to the baby before going to bed; or the words he says to comfort him.

In the case of newborns and infants who are not yet able to roll over from side to side on their own, soft toys should not be placed in the crib. This is connected with the possible occurrence of the so-called infant death; for example, as a result of pressing the mouth to the “bear”. Of course, the manufacturer took this into account! The unicorn is equipped with Velcro on the paws, which allow you to attach it to the crib frame. In the first months of the baby's life, he will look after him from above, and will become a closer companion at the appropriate stage of the child's development.

Classic Baby Music Box – Small Foot Design, Retro 

Small Foot Design offers many models of traditional standing music boxes. In the form of a carousel with horses from the fair, a fancy sewing machine or a cute mushroom with a friendly ladybug sitting on it. If you want to bring an element of your own or even your parents' childhood into your child's bedroom, these retro baby music boxes are sure to be perfect! They will not only take care of your child's peaceful sleep, but will also give you a moment of nostalgia. What's more, the stand-up traditional music boxes can be taken anywhere with a child. Whether it's a family vacation, a camping trip, or having to fall asleep in the parent's bedroom, baby can take their favorite tune with them!

Plush music box for baby – Canpol Babies, Bears 

This friendly little self-winding soft toy will stay with your little one for a long time. In the first months of life, it can be attached with a hook to a crib, car seat or stroller, and in the following months, when the child turns on his own, let him lie down comfortably in a dream. The cuddly, soft material of the teddy bear and its springy legs will help develop baby's motor skills - just like a star that winds up a music box when stretched. Over time, the baby will start to run it on his own! And the teddy bear can be one of his best toy friends. Its compact size will allow the child to take a soft toy with him on every walk or family trip, and at the same time always fall asleep to the same, familiar soothing melody.

Baby Hanging Music Box - Clementoni, Baby Minnie & Mickey 

Are you looking for a multi-functional music box that will not only lull your baby to sleep, but also keep them interested while playing in the crib or car seat? The Clementoni brand has a plush pendant with the image of Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse in its assortment. Both models are characterized by the use of different materials and colors that will attract the attention of the baby and contribute to its development. The mouse's round, protruding ears, slippery, smooth tags, star-shaped music box launcher and spring material "string" will keep your little one interested on many levels. And once he activates a well-known melody on his own for the first time, his joy will surely be great!
