My husband wanted to get our baby a Gloworm. His desire was based on what he remembered of them from many years ago. The current Gloworms are not nearly as nice as they used to be – they play loud music and aren’t nearly as cute.
When I found the Soothe and Glow Seahorse I was so happy! Firstly, it’s cute, much cuter than the Gloworm models. Secondly, the music and sounds are also much much better – the music is quality and the volume can be adjusted. The sea sounds are a nice touch as well.
Unlike the Gloworm, the Soothe and Glow Seahorse actually does help baby wind down with it’s gentle music and ocean sounds. I would recommend this toy any day.

We first bought a gloworm. Piece of junk if you ask me. The Soothe & Glow Seahorse is FANTASTIC! It plays music for 5 minutes as well as soothing ocean sounds like waves & bubbles. My kids love it! It was purchased for my now 4 month old (we bought him the gloworm originally that hardly played a song despite following all the directions)but my 20 month old is constantly stealing it to soothe him to sleep as well. This makes putting my kids to bed a piece of cake I never have to struggle to get my 20 month old in bed he just jumps right in as long as I have glowie the seahorse!

I purchased this seahorse around January 2008. I almost returned it because, although it’s nice that the music plays for around 5 minutes (we timed 6 1/2 minutes), I didn’t want to keep it if there wasn’t a way to easily turn off the music without it playing all the way through. There is no mention anywhere on the box or in the manual that you can turn off the music other than by going inside the velcro and turning off the on/off switch (and who would want to do that and wake up the sleeping baby with the loud velcro?) Then, by accident, we found that if you press and hold the seahorse’s chest for several seconds the music will gently fade and turn off. I called Fisher-Price and let them know so hopefully they’ll add this information to the box and manual soon. It’s a bit “head heavy” which makes it a little hard to handle. It’s not machine washable like the original Gloworm, only “surface washable”. Great product overall. It’s so darn cute.

PROS: I bought this when my daughter was a newborn. Now she is 6 mos. old and still loves it! It plays soothing classical melodies with ocean wave sounds in the background. And the illuminated belly is mesmerizing to her. We keep it on the changing table for her so she has something to calm her and entertain her while changing her diaper or clothes. It’s really neat to view it in a dark room when trying to get them to sleep too. It has an easy way to control on/off by squeezing the belly and the music last 5 min.
CONS: it’s a bit heavy (in the head) and the back that velcros closed (Where you control the switches) doesn’t always stay very tightly velcroed, so can look a bit awkward. Not much for baby to chew on – cuz you know they like to put everything in their mouth! And hard for an infant to cuddle/hold on to.
I chose this over the glowworm since it had more melodies and play options.

I bought two of these, one for a my friend’s 1 yr old and one for my 4 yr old. My son LOVES this toy and sleeps with it every night. Lately his imagination picked up and he’s been afraid of monsters and creatures but now that he has this, he says the light and music scares all frightening things including mosquitoes away.
I was concerned that the music would be too loud at night but it doesn’t seem to effect him. He holds it tight and is soon asleep. The music, when on low, is still loud to me when the lights are off and there are no other noises to distract him. He loves it and carries it around even during the day.
The light is bright at night also but when turned to face away from my son and his eyes are closed, it doesn’t seem to bother his attempts at falling asleep. I definately recommend this.
