Even when baby mobiles do not make it to the list of must-have baby gears, their benefits and impact on the growth and development of a child can not be overemphasized. Baby mobiles can be ideal additions to your little one’s crib or sleeping areas to help stimulate them and distract them. Baby mobiles are a combination of function and style, and they come with lots of uses. They can help improve a baby’s developing motor skills and vision as they watch moving objects, start reaching for the object, help lull them to bed (musical mobiles), and help soothe the baby through gentle movement. 

In addition, baby mobiles are inexpensive, simple, easy to hang, and appealing to babies. They come in three basic designs: strapped to your baby’s cot’s side rails, dangling from the ceiling, or come with an arm to attach to the cot. Here are the best 5 baby mobiles you will love to give a try.
