The Best Portable Baby Mobile For Strollers
Having trouble finding a portable baby mobile for your stroller?
Look no further...
Walking with your baby can be one of the great joys of early parenthood. Much of my first year as a mom was spent pushing my son around our neighborhood in the stroller.
Not only was walking with my baby good for my physical health, it was essential for my mental health to get fresh air and interact with neighbors out with their children.
Sometimes my baby would just chill out and sleep during our walks which made my life pretty easy. Other times I would put a baby mobile on the crossbar of the stroller to help keep my little one entertained.
The problem is that most mobiles are heavy and made of hard plastics that aren’t safe for the stroller. Others just wrap around the bar of your stroller – which looks cute, but doesn’t do much for your baby.
Enter … the Dingle Dangle.
The Dingle Dangle: A Portable Baby Mobile for Your Stroller (and so much more)
The Dingle Dangle portable mobile can be firmly attached to the baby’s stroller and features a colorful and engaging sensory octopus that dangles in front of the baby.
The movement and colorful appearance of the Dingle Dangle helps to capture the baby's attention and stimulate their visual development while you are out on your stroll.
What’s so great about the Dingle Dangle portable mobile is that it comes in a small, lightweight travel bag that can easily fit under your stroller, or in your baby carry bag.
The best part? When you are done using the Dingle Dangle as a portable mobile, it easily changes into a diaper change helper.

With a soft, sensory chime, visually stimulating black and white dots, and a soft swaying motion, the Dingle Dangle was developed for the very purpose of helping new parents get through the frustration of diaper changing.
The best part? When you are done changing the diaper, the Dingle Dangle transforms into a portable mobile and sensory rattle – making it an incredible tool (or gift!) for any new parent.

Do Stroller Mobiles Help With Baby’s Development?
Yes!
Baby stroller mobiles can help with a baby's visual development.
Mobiles with high-contrast patterns and bold patterns like the Dingle Dangle can help to stimulate an infant's visual development as they learn to track the movement of the objects and focus on the different shapes and colors.
During the first few months of life, babies' eyes develop and their vision rapidly improves. By 2-3 months, babies can see a wider range of colors and can follow moving objects with their eyes.
They also begin to develop depth perception and the ability to focus on objects at a distance.
By 4-6 months, most babies have reached normal visual acuity and can see as well as an adult. Their visual system continues to develop and refine throughout the first year of life and beyond.
Giving your baby a sensory object to focus on will not only help sooth your baby, but will be a fun and stimulating tool to help your baby’s development.
Do Baby Stroller Mobiles Help Baby Sleep?
A baby mobile for a stroller can be soothing and help to lull babies to sleep.
The movement of the stroller combined with the swaying movement of the mobile can provide a calming and distracting effect, helping to soothe fussy babies and making them more content before going to sleep.
It is important to consider the age of the baby when using a mobile. For infants and young babies, a mobile can be a useful tool for helping them to sleep, but as they grow older, they may become less interested in the mobile and may not find it as helpful in promoting sleep.
In summary, stroller mobiles can be a useful tool for soothing babies and helping them to fall asleep.
