If you're looking for a great sound machine for baby, I highly recommend this one. The sounds are beautiful, clear, loud (when need it to be), and the device is housed in a large, soft elephant doll and can be removed from the tummy when the baby is old enough to cuddle and play with stuffed toys. This sound machine makes a great display and comes with a small elephant security blanket. I got this for my baby's room and find that all the functions are great, especially the "cry" setting which will turn on the machine when it detects my baby crying. The light functions were all all too similar but it does project a nice starry sky. It isn't as clear when it is farther from the wall but still makes a nice night light without being to bright. All in all, I'm completely happy with this sound machine and love that it is designed specifically for baby in mind.
