Toys and Games Reviews of Hasbro Playskool Lullaby Gloworm
Customer Review: 13-month-old son LOVES it
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought gloworm for a trip, so our son would have something new to comfort him at night along with his old crib toys. He was immediately mesmerized by it. We don't feel it's too loud, but our gloworm has a hat with two points intead of one like the picture. So, maybe ours is a different version? We like the fact that one song plays at a time, instead of continuous play. Our son will press the belly and play different songs for 10-15 minutes before snuggling up and dozing off. It also has a "nightlight only" setting, but we don't use it.
One cautionary thought???? Some people on the Target review page said that ToySafety.net said it was dangerous, because the face "could" be toxic. I guess if my son was younger and still chewing on things I would double check with Hasbro if that is true. My son doesn't eat his toys anymore, and we LOVE gloworm. We are not giving him up!
Customer Review: HAS 3 MODES TO CHOOSE SETTINGS!!! Demo mode, Light only mode, and the Music & Light mode
Summary: 5 Stars
Many customers/reviewers are mistaken by giving this toy a bad review. Customers are complaining that the music can't be turned off for a quiet night of sleep. Those reviews made me almost not buy the toy for my daughter who really, really wanted it. I decided to go ahead (since it was a relatively inexpensive toy and she wanted it so bad). I'm glad I did, because after taking it out of the box and inspecting it, I discovered there is a mode setting which allows you to choose between three settings - the demo (which is what you hear in the store - short version), a light & music mode which stays on longer, or a light only mode. What a relief to find that. All I had to do was move the button to the light only mode and now she has the perfect little night-lite whenever she needs it. Playskool was thinking ahead, customers need to give them more credit and use their own brains as well.Customer Review: Has much room for improvement

I was very excited about getting a gloworm for my son and never imagined that it would be a terrible toy, so I never bothered to read the reviews before I ordered! Though all the reviews about the volume are correct, this toy was not a total loss. Once it arrived, I found that the reviews were not at all exaggerated. This thing BLARED the loudest melodies! After I pulled the music box from the worm and confirmed that there was NO volume control, I rolled up scrap fabric and taped it over the speaker holes. It made a significant difference but the toy is still pretty loud.
My 11 week old son responds very well to the worm when he lights up, so I guess he likes it. But this toy is too loud to put in the bed with my baby. We take it to the grocery store for when the surroundings are already loud and we need a toy that will project over that noise and get my son's attention.
Customer Review: No, not for naptime, but still a wonderful toy.
Summary: 5 Stars
This toy is an old favorite of mine from when my children were small and now I bought one for a grandchild. It really is good for those times when they are just old enough to hold something and get a result from squeezing or cuddling - cause and effect. Also, it is good for those times when they may not be sleepy, but like playing alone on the floor, playpen or in the crib. I think all children should be able to entertain themselves (with supervision and assistance) and this helps with that, just don't give it to a child that is too young to hold it and squeeze it, or be preprared to participate and interact with your child and the Gloworm. If you don't like it for naptime, use it for a stimulative toy to help keep a baby up more during the day and then maybe they will rest better at night. It has a lot of possibilities. All in all, I think this is a great little toy.Customer Review: Please beware

I bought this toy for my one year old niece. We were looking for toys to help her learn to comfort herself and go back to sleep on her own. We were hoping for a toy that played soft, soothing music and gently glowed. However, that is not what this toy does. The "songs" are so loud they can be heard over all noise in a busy room (tv, talking, ringing phone, etc.) and in a quiet room it was so loud the noise made ME jump. Also, the toy is very heavy and the hard plastic center that houses the music device can be felt easily through the padding. My glowworm did not come with a book, either, even though the picture indicated it did. I have written Hasbro about the quality of this product and I hope that if you want a nap time or bedtime toy for your child you will buy the vintage version instead. Some things don't need "improving".
