The volume control is good. The sounds are alright. It has different options, but if it turns on from “cry activation” it always uses the melody + nature sounds. I would personally design it differently like with a selection bar for the different sound options and a single activation button that way you can pick which type of sounds are played on cries, because I would rather not have nature sounds. My baby isn’t fond of loud rain.
I also wish it had a low battery light indicator or something. For a couple nights my baby kept waking up and not going to sleep. I was half asleep so I heard the hippo activate and saw the lights were on in my monitor, but later I realized that with low battery, the lights still work and the music will play for 20 seconds then die. So with low battery it’s not fully functional but can be deceiving. No one wants to change batteries at 3 in the morning!
Product seems durable and well made otherwise. Even with my critiques I would give it 4.5/5 stars (0.5 deduction since I can’t choose the sounds with cry activation)
