Send Stargazers To Sleep
Guaranteed to get little dreamers sleeping soundly through the night is Infantino’s 3-in-1 Projector Musical Mobile. Growing with little ones from birth to toddlerhood, it transforms from a mobile to a crib night light, then a tabletop light and projector to pop on the bedside. What’s more, it also features a 20-minute auto shut-off timer, so it stops after your child is lulled to sleep.
If mobiles aren’t your thing, the Soothing Light & Projector is an ideal way to soothe tiny stargazers to sleep. Easily attached to the side of the cot, the nightlight transitions between a projector and a night lamp, as well as converting to a tabletop projector for continued use as little ones grow.
