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. Unlike most musical mobiles, this one doesn’t feature a traditional lullaby – pull the small wooden ring and you’ll hear a melodic version of “Summertime”, a song by American composer George Gershwin, which makes a welcome change.

Always ensure that a mobile is safely out of baby’s reach and removed once baby is starting to get up on their hands and knees and into the crawling position. Shaped like a balloon and featuring a gorgeous pressed leaves print, this musical mobile should help baby float off to the land of nod. French brand Meri Meri is best known for its children’s partyware but as its under-the-sea mobile proves, the brand knows how to instil a touch of calm too. Cam Cam Copenhagen is known for its stunning nursery interiors, so, naturally, a baby mobile round-up wouldn’t be complete without one of its offerings.Complete with four floating swans and four pom-poms, they’re attached to a music box that turns as the lullaby plays out, making them dance above baby’s head. Baby mobiles should be removed when your little one is around five months old, or whenever they are able to move onto their hands and knees to crawl, to prevent them from pulling down the mobile.

This is designed to be used in three stages: from birth to around five months the baby will enjoy the musical mobile; until an infant is 18 months, the mobile acts as a nightlight and projector, graduating to a standalone table-top light for the toddler stage. While the Tiny Love characters might not be to everyone’s taste, our tester loved watching them spin in the air. 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.They’re attached to a music box that turns as the lullaby plays out, making them dance above baby’s head. Unlike the other mobiles we tested, Tiny Love’s take-along mobile is designed to move with you on your daily adventures.

Mobiles come in three basic designs: strapping onto the side rails of your baby’s cot, dangling from the ceiling, or come complete with an arm to attach to 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.

Our only gripe is that the tune could last a little longer but, even without the music, it’s a joy to look at.

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.As the mobile comes with an arm to attach it to the cot, it was easy to place it in the right position. Little Dutch’s stylish wooden music mobile is easy on the eye, feels safe and sturdy, thanks to the arm frame, and boasts sustainable qualities, creating a beautiful addition to a nursery. 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.
