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

I suggest the Boston Acoustics Duo-i AM/FM Radio with iPhone iPod doc priced at $249.99.

The Duo-i plus AM/FM Stereo Radio with iPhone iPod dock delivers big-system performance in a stylish compact package. See

Tivoli.. Nice tonal balance and very pleasant sounding overall.

I'm using a couple of Model One (plain mono radio), few Model Three (mono radio + clock) at home, and one with ipod dock and cdp stereo system for office. Very happy with their sound and reliability--had the first two units for over 10yrs without a glitch.

I have a tivoli in my kitchen and the first thing I do every night when I get home is go turn off that damn thing. I can't stand it. My wife and kids seem to think it is OK, but it is painful to me. I bought a nice logitech (better sounding) but my wife liked the "regular" radio better. Go figure.
