(I can't find the artist's webpage to link to, just some credits saying that this might be a translated Russian comic posted by Piterskii Punk)
That is actually a really good point.

Almost none of these mobiles, in a quick skim, have the interesting stuff on the mobile ornaments aimed at the kid. They're instead aimed at the adult.
It's not like the baby really cares. Moving colourful stuff that makes a sound, what more could you want?
Babies do start to pick up on faces early on -- we've got some hardwired stuff there -- and on the mobiles there, the faces are away from the baby.

Most of the complex details and shapes are facing away. Oddly, of the mobiles I see there, the few designs aimed at the baby are mostly black-and-white, not colorful, while I'd have also thought that color would be preferable.
Heh fair enough.
