Table radio options for kids room

My wife wants a decent table radio for the new baby's room. She was thinking about the Bose Wave Radios but I've heard them and wasn't impressed. As an alternative I was looking at the Cambridge Soundworks and the Tivoli Music System. We're looking for one that has a CDP and iPod connectivity. Anyone have any experience with either of these units? The Tivoli looks like a nice piece and I've always heard good things about them.

Of course eventually my expectation is that I'll have the only little girl in the neighborhood that knows the difference between an EL34 and a 6CG7, but we've got to start somewhere.

Cheers

the original Tivoli radio sounds fantastic, it captures some of the resonance of instruments and has a nice balanced tone.

I cannot vouch for the newer models which look the same but are a different design - I think they came out after the passing of Henry Kloss.

I am very surprised about all the negative comments regarding the Tivoli radio.

The new ones must not sound as good as the original (which is the model I own) which is terrific for a little box radio.

Sometimes I listen to it instead of my Sansui 919 vintage tuner/ NAD 326BEE/ Sound Dynamics 300ti speakers (which sounds very good) but I do not miss it too much with the Tivoli.
