The Gobbi Mobile is the third mobile and is generally introduced when a baby is 7-10 weeks of age. The purpose of this mobile is to further refine the child's developing sense of sight by providing a slight change in tone from one ball to the next. The manner in which the balls are hung in a staggered fashion enable the baby to practice adjusting their focus from the ball that's closest to their face to the one that's farthest away.

The Dancers Mobile comes next around 10 weeks of age. The beautiful colours and delicate paper swaying gently provides eye-catching entertainment and develops focus.
