I would personally recommend the Moravec recording.
It's a personal taste thing, but I'm very into music and I think there are vast catalogues of music that are enjoyable for both adults and children, and there's no need to compromise.
In my opinion, most "kid-oriented" music is utter bullshit and I find it highly annoying. Luckily my wife agrees and she has excellent taste in music so we're probably okay.
And I'm not saying that all kids music is terrible. Even before we found out we were pregnant, I watched a bit of Yo Gabba Gabba and totally dug it. They do a great job of having great musicians come on and get the kids dancing. Lullatone is another.
Or, for instance, I have this "Amazing Electronic Pop Sounds Of Jean Jacques Perry" LP and put it on yesterday and we danced around. It was super fun and goofy.
I've also been rocking the Tomita album "Snowflakes Are Dancing" of Debussy interpretations on modular synths, it's just the right kind of atmospheric, engaging and weird that feel brain-stimulating to me.
I guess my main issue is with whitewashed, low-imagination music. Not in concept, but in the tonal structures, performance, and recording techniques. So much kids music feels fakey and hucksterish, and kind of insulting to kids intelligence. I'd rather throw on something with bright tonal colors but interesting structures.
I have the same issue with kids toys and furniture that are all poorly-designed, garish plastic bullshit. Like, I get it that a lot of this stuff isn't meant to last forever but it doesn't have to look like a bunch of unicorns got hopped up on energy drinks and barfed all over the place.
