Glad I read the last review about not having any toy bars on the handle of the carseat while in the car and keeping the handle all the way back. A definite hazard if left in the forward position.
Is the water supposed to move somehow? I’ve had to tilt the carseat (baby not in it) to get the floaties to move in the water. Is the water activated by pusing the button?

Cute, yes, but smart this toy is not. 1)When this toy is attached to the handle of the infant carseat/carrier, taking hold of the handle or taking baby in and out becomes difficult. 2)When my daughter really began enjoying her hands she was just a little over two months old, but the dangling items on this toy were still too far for her to ever succeed in reaching them. She would soon get frustrated or just plain bored. 3)The under-water part of this toy is really boring, too, the fish do nothing to captivate. 4)The music does need to be restarted often.
Get the WHOOZIT Activity Spiral instead. It’s takes less than a second to place, or remove: it simply stretches between the two sides of the handle, and you can place it at whatever height you want to. It’s colorful, interactive, soft (so it can be left with baby while driving). It doesn’t play any music, but that’s no big loss compared to the Einstein Neptune Bar.

We thought this toy looked like a great idea, but when we attached it to our carrier it was too close to our son’s face. He couldn’t see it and the animals inside wouldn’t move because it was so securely attached. He loves the music. We gave it to him to play with on the floor, but noticed the paint chipping off of the fish. We don’t know if the chipped paint would hurt him, but we don’t think a baby toy should have that problem. Overall, we like it but wish it were designed better.

I’m due to have my baby next month and I received this as a baby shower gift about 3 1/2 weeks ago. I was organizing the baby’s closet and getting everything in order a few days ago when I noticed the box that this toy bar was in looked wet. When I picked it up off the floor, I noticed the water had leaked out of it completely. I hadn’t even taken it out of the box yet!!! Needless to say, it’s going back to the store. P.S. I also received the Sassy Bugs on Board and will be using them instead.

On the package, it says that the sea creatures “swim” which is only true if I turn my daughter and the carrier on their side or take it off and shake it around for her.
I’ve not had any problems with it leaking, but my daughter seems to watch in anticipation of the fish moving (like Fisher Prices’ Ocean Wonders collection) and, instead, nothing happens. Also, the toy bar is too high for a baby her size (2 months) to reach any of the toys that dangle from it.
She likes the music and since my baby sits behind me in my car, I can push the button to restart the music, but it’s unfortunate that it’s not more interactive. If I had it to do over again, I’d buy something that is more interactive to get her attention.
