We have had the sloth for 2 days, my son received it for Christmas hes only 8 weeks old , the heartbeat feature seemed to really calm him down. All of a sudden after 2nd day using the sloth it plays for 1 minute than shuts off. We changed the batteries, anything we could think of and nothing is working. This defeats the purpose of the soothing sloth. I don't want to go and buy another one if this will happen again. My son seemed to be soother for the 2 days of use.

This is just the cutest thing ever. It's a cry activated soothing sloth and it's absolutely adorable. Bought this as a gift for friends who were expecting and they loved it ... Probably not as much as me but whatever lol

I love the idea of this product but it is not loud enough at all so it sort of defeats the purpose, sadly I can't return it and am now stuck with a very expensive teddy. I was looking forward to this as everything else about it seems ok

Not worth the price tag
September 9, 2021
Only plays for 20 minutes, not even one baby sleep cycle, not long enough at all.
No volume adjustment and volume is too low, not loud enough for car or pram use.
Velcro very poor and does not hold to itself around pram.
Toy is very cute which is why I bought it but completely impractical if looking to use as portable white noise.

I have read that newborns need contrasting colors like black and white to hold their attention so this was a great option for sound soothers. I love that its cry activated and it stops my daughter from crying pretty quickly since she seems to really enjoy soothing music. Love this!

My daughter is on the older age range of this product so I wasn't sure how she'd like it at first, but she really likes it! We keep this hanging by her crib-the magnetic clasps make it super easy and it actually stays put. It's actually to turn on and off, and I like the cry-activated feature. Most of all the voice feature is super easy to record and convenient to have.

Meh
July 15, 2021
This thing is alright, but extremely confusing to use, even with the instructions in front of you. Also it's not padded enough for how heavy it is, so your kids are going to hurt themselves if they throw it at each other, or swing it at their faces.

Voice recorder is a plus
July 13, 2021
This cute little panda is my nephew's new favorite mate. I love the voice recorder. I've saved me singing on it and now he can listen. The panda also comes with soothing music and attaches to cribs, playpen etc. Soft and small enough to take on the go perhaps while traveling to comfort little ones .

My baby and I both love this panda cry activated soother! He'll lie still for a while just staring at it. It comes with all the bells and whistles including being able to record my voice, smart sensor, and plays lullabies and soothing sounds. Works like a charm when he gets fussy!

Very Cute Panda Soother
July 8, 2021
I was really impressed by the good quality and sound of the Skip Hop - Cry-Activated Soother - Panda because it actually lets me record my own voice so that my baby can hear it when she cries. The Panda Soother has its own lullabies and other soothing sounds but I liked that I could record my own little song for my baby. You can setup the Panda sound module so that when the baby cries it can automatically play to sooth your baby, and the volume on the module is not too loud. Now I did have a problem insert the module into the back of the Panda pouch, so I was able to hang the panda on the edge of the crib, but I did place it near the baby, far enough to were she wouldn't be able to grab it yet. Over all this is a very nice Cry-Activated Panda soother!

Great toy!
July 8, 2021
This is an excellent toy for my growing toddler! This product is very cute and my child just adores it. My toddler can spend hours playing and interacting with this creatively designed toy. There are numerous features that make this toy unique. The innovative cry-activated smart sensor is of great utility for parents, which automatically responds to baby cries. This is a huge stress reliever for both toddlers and parents, and can increase my number of hours of sleep. This toy is super easy to attach to the crib and can be integrated in car seats. The voice recording option is really useful for calming babies no matter where they are. I can monitor my toddler with my voice. Overall, this is a cute plush toy wth a baby-centric design. Great value and quality overall. I highly recommend this product to other parents.

It is very loud. With my five month old sharing a room with his sibling it makes it difficult to use properly. And I can hear it through the baby monitors very loudly making it hard to hear anything else.

My grandmother got this for my 5 month old for Christmas, but I wish I had thought to look at product reviews before she spent her money. The cry sensor is a joke, my baby was wailing and it just continued to blink. DO NOT BUY if looking for a sound activated soother.

Worked well, once
November 23, 2020
We had this set up and it turned on when our baby started to cry, it worked great. Though it's really not loud at all. Second time, it plays a song less than 2 minutes. Worked well once.

Poor design does not soothe
October 16, 2020
Don't purchase this as a soother/ noise machine for baby. The sound plays for 20 min max. There's no way to increase the duration and 20 min is not enough time to soothe a baby. Ive not been able to get the cry activator to work. Sloth is on the crib next to baby's head and not sure if it's not picking up the sound as a cry or what. I've not tried to record my voice but there's no point of the cry activation doesn't work. Additionally as others have noted, there's a blue light that indicates the feature is on. This light is very bright in a dark room. My baby is 6 weeks old so his crib is in my bedroom and the blue light is intense and it stimulates the baby. Do not buy this, I wish I hadn't.

Virtually useless
September 28, 2020
This was a complete disappointment. I followed instructions but couldn't get it to record anything. It plays music but for such a short amount of time that it doesn't help my baby settle down at all. When the cry activated feature is on, a blue light blinks that is so bright it keeps my baby more alert and fussy. After several desperate attempts to get this to help sooth my baby, I gave up. I wish I hadn't wasted my money.

This cry soother sloth is so cute. The material is soft. It plays different soothing sounds along with different lullabies. I also recorded my voice and chuckle when playing it because I can see my little one looking at it confused. It's the cutest thing.

Poor Motor and battery life
June 4, 2020
I bought this almost 4 months ago and the motor has gone and even with new batteries it just whines instead of making the correct noises. I have also gone through over 48 batteries and was unimpressed with the battery life. I guess it is now just a ridiculously expensive stuffy that no longer does anything else.

I love sloths and if I have anything to do about it my grandson will too! This super soft sloth is a great addition to our "let try to sleep" routine. It responds to cries with either sounds or songs. You can also record your voice but we haven't tried it yet. The sounds seem to do the trick! Definitely recommend.

The Best Soother
February 7, 2020
I'm very happy with how well the Skip Hop Sloth Cry-Activated Soother works to comfort my son. The 3 lullabies and 3 sounds are so soft and soothing to him. I love that I can record my voice so that he thinks I'm always right there. That calms him temporarily as I'm walking to his room. It works so well at sensing that he's crying and has worked everytime. It's helped us all have a more peaceful experience during bedtime!

Sooooo sweet! Love it!

We are going On vacation, out of the country for a WEEK and leaving our little guy behind. We thought something like this would be helpful to keep a consistent routine and let him hear our voices while we are gone... we have been practicing and love it so much because most importantly our baby IS soothed by this adorable sloth and he enjoys snuggling it when its not hanging on his crib at bed time. If you are on the fence about getting then... don't wait any longer! Its worth every penny.

This little sloth is so adorable. With the soothing noises it helps comfort baby to sleep. The cry activated soother option is pretty neat - make sure you turn it off when you leave the room with baby though. It is sensitive! We were in the living room, baby cried, and it turned on in his room. I am not a fan of the fact when the cry sensor is on there is a flashing blue light. In a dark room it is pretty obvious and I think it bothered my baby. I also wish the buttons were easier to distinguish from each other. Trying to fumble around in the dark you can't tell what you're pushing. Otherwise we love this thing!

Interesting way to soothe
January 27, 2020
It took me a bit to figure out how to record ...I'm not super tech savvy. But after doing it the first time, it makes sense and seems easy. It is good to hang this on the outside of the crib...so baby can't grab and pull it down. The volume is a bit high on it and I wish I could turn it down to a more quiet, soothing volume. Occasionally, cries do not activate it. Most of the time they do but there's been a hand full of times I've heard the cry but the sloth doesn't play music.

Super cute soother!
January 25, 2020
I can't say enough about our Cry-activated soother! It's seriously the cutest thing. The sloth is super soft and just adorable. I love how it just hangs on my baby's crib. It has soothing sounds, nature sounds and I can even record my voice! I mean how amazing is that! When my baby starts crying it instantly starts working because of the cry activation. It will start playing soothing sounds to calm my little guy down. I love how it just works for my baby's cries and not any other sound around it. It really does calm my little guy down when he starts crying and it automatically starts playing the sounds or even the sound of my voice that we have recorded. It's super adorable and so nice to have. I love that when my baby gets older he can just use it as his new friend and carry it around with him. I have recommended it to friends and family and we have had several people compliment it how how adorable it is!

January 24, 2020
I have both the unicorn and the sloth but I think the Skip Hop Sloth Cry Activated Soother is my favorite. He has an unbelievably sweet face. It works as if it were magic and honestly soothes my little one back to sleep with lullabies (music without words), nature sounds (waves, heartbeat, etc.), and my own recorded message. I sang a funny little song I made up. I think the sounds and music only play for about 5 minutes or so but it's just long enough to distract him from his fussing and help him drift back to sleep. The sound module is held in place with a Velcro strap for safety but can be removed for changing batteries or washing. THIS AMAZING SOOTHER IS MACHINE WASHABLE!!!!! I highly recommend.

The Cry-Activated Soother works great for my son. As soon as he starts crying it activates and it will play soothing sloth songs and sounds. The sounds are like white noise, baby heartbeat, and mothers heartbeat.You can record a message for your little one to. The plush is soft and can be attached to a crib, car seat or stroller with the Velcro on the hands and feet.

I received this sloth soother in exchange for my honest review. First Skip Hop this sloth is super adorable and I love that it can be hung on the crib or can be used when they get older as a plush. I love how you can record your voice to keep your baby calmed and soothed through out the night. The lullabies are nice and soothing as well. Great product for the littles. Thanks Skip Hop.
