My first daighter got a glow worm 11 years ago and it gave up the ghost so I was hoping this was the same, but it's not. The glow worm had 3 functions with a medium volume enough to soothe the infant holding it (no volume control). It had a demo function that would play a few moments of a single tune with a glow function (it would stop the tune at the end of aapptopraite area (I.e. you could sing twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder what you are. And the song would end), an option of one full song with glow, or just glow with no tune. I was hoping this was the same.
It's a cute little seahorse and super soft. My 7 month old loves it. All switches are on the battery pack which is velcrowed into the toy. The battery pack also has the might and music player attached and can be removed entirely. It has a volume loud or volume soft switch and a seperate switch that turns it off, demo (only 10 seconds of a song) with light, or a full song after another song after another song... I dont know how long it goes for but it doesnt stop until it has played all of the songs (lost count maybe 12?).
So here are my beefs with the toy. My kids are annoyed that after 10 seconds the toy ends the song with a fade and bubble sound, which if your kid loves to sing, it stops mid sentence or lingers after it should have ended. My other beef is that the music doesnt stop when the tummy is pressed and just keeps playing. So the baby cannot turn it off or change the song. The music is cute but it's frustrating that it doesnt turn off unless I manually open the toy and flip it off. If you are a parent, you know that when the littles see you open up any toy it like ruines the "magic" of said toy and now they either loose interest in the toy or think they figured out some secret and wont stop messing with the battery pack (so for safety reason the toy ends up getting taken away and tears and drama follow...).
If it had a nightlight only function that would be awesome, but its not a huge deal.
So if they fixed those 2 major things, I would totally love this toy and keep it as long as possible as it would be a home run.
I haven't washed it yet, but it looks like it will clean up well in a washing machine on gentle in a mesh bag, after you take out the battery pack of course.
Overall it is a good buy and my daughter likes it. I think though she will grow bored of it since the music doesn't stop and I'm not going to turn it off in front of her. It will be good for bedtime so maybe it will be her crib toy only (like a white noise).
Going to admit the constant "bubble" sounds going off durning the music is already getting on my nerves too, and this is day 1 of it being used.

got this for a friend who was having trouble getting her little man to sleep without a light on and she said the very first time she used it he went right to sleep after about 3 button presses cause he was amazed by it for the first two presses but after that he went right to sleep and has not been without it since....even wants it during the day loves the light and the noises

I bought this glow seahorse in 2006 for my son. Him and his older sister loved it so much ams fought over it all the time. They are now 16 and 18 and still have it in my daughter's room. We have bought one for every baby that our friends and family have had because my kids loved it so much. Very comforting/ perfect brightness and the quality is just as good on the 16 year old one and the new ones we have bought. It's still running after all this time so I would say it's worth your money!

It would be nice if it had some straps for me to attach it to the crib, carseat, or stroller. It would also be nice if there was just a feature for the light without the music and sounds. I might have further liked an option to play just the bubble and water sounds instead of and without the music.

We were looking for a light up musical plush toy and found this. It's perfect. You can change the volume and the duration of the music. It plays a variety of music, not your typical lullabies, but the music is very soothing. My daughter loves it and the baby falls asleep every time! It's a winner!
