Toys and Games Reviews of Hasbro Playskool Lullaby GlowormCustomer Review: not all have volume control! Summary: 2 Stars
Yes, this toy is loud. Very LOUD! I have read several reviews that mention, and even tell you how to find, the volume control. However, mine does not have one. The white cylinder inside has two positions, "play" and "demo".
It was a gift from my grandma to my infant in December 2004, so maybe the "new gloworm" was not available yet. Mine looks identical to the ones pictured here, though.
My solution: I removed the cylinder with the batteries. It no longer glows or sings, but it's soft, cuddly, cute to look at, and easy to chew on. Problem solved.
Customer Review: beware! Summary: 1 Stars
I haven't purchased this toy, but read from a reader in Elgin, IL. who wrote a review that her husband fixed the noise level by placing scotch tape over the speakers.PLEASE, please don't do this! Very young children put everything in their mouths-- when my son was an infant, he almost choked to death on some scotch tape he was able to dislodge from a surface. If anyone knows who this reviewer was in Elgin, please contact her & alert her to the hazards. I'd hate to see anyone's precious child go through a choking incident like we did. I came so close to losing my son.
Customer Review: Lifesaver Summary: 5 Stars
My now 6 month old son got the gloworm as a christmas gift. Of course he didn't use it when he got it since he was only a month in a half, but now he loves it. I have it attached to his infant seat by boomerang links so that it can hang in front of him. As soon as I put him in the seat he looks up for it. It keeps him entertained while I drive. He loves to put the face and the body in his mouth and he can make it light up on his own. I don't usually replace batteries for toys, but this is one that will always have fresh batteries in it. I do recommend this toy for babies.
Customer Review: Way too LOUD! Summary: 1 Stars
My mom was given this toy (with the tags still attached) from a friend to sell at her church's rummage sale. I remember having one as a child and when I saw this one I was so excited. I wanted to buy it for my 10 month old. One squeeze and it was tossed back into the pile of stuff - it was SOOO loud!! Now I know why it was donated. I have no problem with toys that play music, but when you want something to soothe your child to sleep, it needs to have some sort of volume control. If you want it just as a toy, great. But if you want something you child can sleep with - NO WAY!
Customer Review: Good ol glowom Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my daughter because I remembered them from when I was little and because my niece had one but lost the battery pack. My daughter loves it and she's had it for almost five months (she's eight months old). She gets deliriously happy when I bring him out. She loves to teeth on him and cries if you take it away from her. It doesn't help get her to sleep... in fact it keeps her from going to sleep and I don't like that you have to press his tummy for each song instead of them all playing continuously with one press but for $10 this toy is a great one.
