Munchkin® Lulla-Vibe™ Vibrating Mattress Pad Sleep Soother

It doesn't necessarily put the little one to sleep but it does calm her and distract her. It vibrates the whole crib pretty well. I don't like that it only has one speed but I do think it was a good investment. We're just now going into teething time and this helps.

The Pro's: This is a fantastic product. It's quiet, its vibration is soothing, it's portable, It's lightweight, it's priced reasonably, it comes with batteries. My infant granddaughter suffers from colic. Severely so. This little pad goes with her everywhere. It is especially useful tucked beside her in the car seat. Before adding the Lulla-Vibe Pad to her entourage, she was one of those babies who does not fall asleep riding in the car, rather she screams bloody murder the entire ride. The pad turns off automatically after 20 minutes or so. You do have to depress the on/off button for a few seconds to turn it on. This is to prevent it being accidentally turned on. Since we used five of these pads, I can say that each of them turned on reasonably easily and the vibration was neither too loud nor too intense,The Con's: Do not order from Warehouse Deals! Until this purchase, I had not considered that all my Warehouse Deal purchases had no moving parts, such as wooden building blocks or craft items. The savings for the pad was about $3 but the hassle was to the max. We went through four of these until I finally wised up and quit ordering them from Warehouse Deals. The first one lasted 6 weeks. It was in use a lot--enough to go through three sets of batteries, which the parents said was worth every penny they. By that time this product had become so necessary to my two-month old granddaughter's comfort, I ordered a replacement immediately. It was a pleasant surprise to discover the Munchkin Lulla-Vibe Pad could be returned for up to three months. The second one lasted a week. I ordered another and returned the defective one. Note--returns through UPS are super easy. The third one arrived without batteries. I put some in and it ran for 5 minutes. Ordered another and two days later joked with the UPS man when he handed me the box containing the new pad and I handed him the fourth box containing a returned one about seeing him in a few days. Turned out to be prophetic because this one lasted four days. That's when my son noticed Warehouse Deals on the receipt and wondered if that could be the problem.So the last one was ordered from Amazon. It's been working fine for three weeks and it's still going strong. My only regret about this purchase is that each time a Lulla-Vibe pad quit working, my granddaughter had to go two days without a product that provided her relief from colic. Instead of me taking advantage of a Warehouse Deal, I suspect Warehouse deals took advantage of me.

This worked amazing for my son. The vibration is strong so I was able to stick it in the bassinet with him and it would vibrate the whole mattress. I also used it in his car seat and stroller. This kept him calm even when the car stopped moving or the stroller stopped moving, where as before he would start crying if I stopped. The batteries don’t last long. I’ve had to replace them every 2-3 days with frequent use. The reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because it stopped working out of nowhere. I laid my son down tonight with it in his bassinet and it was working great, but when I tried to use it a few hours later it would not turn on. It had not been kicked or abused in any way and remained untouched exactly where I left it. My son is only 3 months old and doesn’t move around much while sleeping. I’ve always used it correctly so I’m not sure why it stopped working. Other reviewers have mentioned wires coming loose but you can’t see them without cutting into the fabric and I don’t want to do that. I am within the return window so I chose the option to have a replacement shipped to me and it is estimated to be here tomorrow. I’m hoping the replacement lasts longer than this one did because it does work very well for keeping my son calm and helps him sleep longer and fall asleep faster.

This product was a lifesaver until it quit working after less than a month. My daughter slept amazing in her bouncy so we figured getting this for her bassinet would be a great idea. It was, but when we went to change the batteries after just a couple weeks it stopped working like it has a short in the wiring. We have tried everything and now it will turn on but only stay on for a couple minutes which is basically useless.

Giving this 3 stars because when it works it's great. It soothed both my toddler and newborn and was really a life saver on some of the harder nights. However, I've now blown through three of them. I'm not 100% sure what the issue is whether it's the motor dying on the vibration mechanism or the power button malfunctioning but they just quit. My first one lasted the longest at 2 months. However my next 2 the first died after 3 days ans third lasted barely a week

This is the most functional item on the market that vibrates for longer than a few minutes. 30 minutes most of the time is long enough to allow our baby to fall into a deep enough sleep where we don’t have to get up a million times to restart. Obviously when you think about a product that vibrates consistently for 30 minutes at a time on 4 AA batteries, it of course will need battery replacement often. We are currently changing batteries about every 2 days but frankly for peace of mind and less wake up’s it’s totally worth picking up a giant pack of AA batteries. It is a bit loud but that doesn’t bother anyone in our house, babies sleep with white noise and whatnot anyways so in retrospect what’s the difference!? Very happy with this purchase.

This is probably the best "mom buy" that I've made. My daughter would only sleep in vibrating bouncy seat for the first 6 weeks or so. I had to get her to sleep somewhere safer and I found this. I use it everywhere, her car seat/stroller, pack-n-play, in the bed next to me, anywhere. She loves it and it not only helps her fall asleep, but also helps get her to stay asleep.Granted it uses A TON OF BATTERIES. I go through 4 AAs every day. I combatted the problem first thing by buying 8 high capacity AA batteries and a charger. I just rotate them out daily. Easy and inexpensive. I just bought the second lullavibe because the first one started to short out of moved around. It lasted almost 6 months and took some abuse. I would buy again and WILL buy another if this one dies lol.
