Fun but tricky to use

We bought this for our 2month old who screams uncontrallably in the car seat/car (our daughter was the same way) partly due to boredome, inability to sooth himself, and acid reflux pain. We were hoping it would be a distraction. It is interesting to look at but he liks to look more up or straight ahead and the way it attaches to his seat he has to look down a bit. We had to flip up the car seat padding to attach it and it still isn't very secure. For instance if he were able to pull the string on the spinning toy it would probably come detached form his carseat as it will if you hit it too hard when putting him in. Also the string is too hard to pull I think for the average baby of any age. A plus is that it can pivot forward and back while attached so you can pivot it forward all the way to put your baby in their seat and then back up to where it's comfortable for them. It's worth buying if you're desparate for a car toy but it definitely could use some tweaking in the design and will probably be liked more by an older baby (there's no black and white on it and is almost too busy for a newborn).
