OK to Wake!

I love this item, can't say enough great things about it. Only really have two minor annoyances / complaints about it. I initially bought this for my 4 year old daughter who kept waking up at 4 o'clock in the morning asking if it was morning yet and if she could get up. We tried putting a clock in her room and telling her she couldn't get up until 6am, but that was confusing for her. She'd come in if ANY of the numbers on the clock were a 6. A family member suggested this clock to me and said it worked great for her daughter so I thought I'd try it out. After buying it for my 4 year old my 2 year old insisted on getting one of her own also. Both LOVE it! It is really easy to set the "OK to wake" time and choose if it should use light only, alarm only or both. The nap mode is brilliant. You set how long the nap should be, then when it's time for nap you just hit the nap button (on the back behind the panel) and it does a count down on the front instead of showing the current time. Nap mode also allows you to choose light only, alarm only or both for "OK to wake" time. When it is "OK to wake", it plays a cute little animation and you can choose to snooze by hitting one of the toe buttons, or turn it off by hitting the other toe button. You can choose how long the clock stays green past the end of nap or OK to wake. The first few times I used it my kids napped longer than I expected and slept through the Green OK to wake light, so when they woke up they didn't know if they could get up or not. I changed it to stay on for 2 hours past the end of nap and that worked great. There is a night light also that is independent of the "OK to wake" functions. The clock glows yellow for the night light and glows green for OK to wake. PROS: Works great! Love the nap setting. Easy enough for my two year old to use. CONS: Battery operated only, I would love for this to have an AC adapter so we wouldn't have to go through so many batteries (we've started using rechargeable ones to cut down on cost). Keep the instructions handy. It was easy enough to set up with the instructions, but when the batteries run out after only two months of use it's somewhat confusing getting it all set back up if you don't have the instructions. They are now just taped to the bottom for future use. All in all, this does everything that it claims to do and even though it is expensive for a kids clock it has been worth every dime for us.

I really really want to give this 5 stars because we think this is amazing!! However, the one thing that keeps me from giving it that one more star is the fact that ours has a glitch of some sort. If it's moved or touched in some way it turns off or resets itself. There's something wrong with the battery connection or something. It's super annoying to have to reset the clock, ok to wake time, and nap settings whenever this happens. That being said, if it's not picked up (it doesn't need to be after-all) it is just fine. When I first looked at this I thought $30 was pricey. Maybe I'd do $15... but there is nothing else out there like this so I decided to fork the money over. We got this for our 2 yr-old son who is still in a crib. We were expecting it to take a little while for him to get used to it and it's concept and we wanted it for when his little sister arrives to hopefully solidify his nap and wake times and for when he transitions to a bed. He was interested in it the moment we pulled it out of the package because it was something new. That night, when we were putting him to bed we told him what it does and showed him how it turns green and how that means it's okay to wake up. We then told him that if it's not green he can lay back down and go back to sleep or sit quietly in his crib. We then had him practice a couple times by toggling the green light on and off. He seemed to get it. The next morning we were amazed that he actually stayed quiet until it turned green, at which he promptly shouted to us, "Mom, dad, it turned green!" He was so excited and proud of himself. We've owned this for a week or two now and it still amazes us at how well it works for him waking up in the morning and that he is for sure having 2 hours of nap/quiet time each day. Like I said, he gets up excited now and is more well rested and happy since it keeps him in there for the certain length of time we've set. It's helped lengthen his nap from 1 hour to 2 hours like it should be because he'll go back to sleep since it's not green rather than sit and cry all sleep deprived. Not only is it good for him though, it's great for us to know that we have at least 2 hours to ourselves during the day and he's in bed until at least 8 in the morning now, ha! Update 7/25/15 I don't know why, but for some reason it doesn't have a glitch anymore and works great, even with my toddler touching it. Definitely one of the best purchases I've made.

This clocked changed our lives. Our son quit getting up as early as the sun begins to rise. Totally recommend it.

Our granddaughter loves it. She is three and it helps us to establish boundaries - and to get some sleep!

Excelente producto. Nos ha sido muy útil para mantener a un niño de 3 años, en su cuarto.

Who was too think that a digital toy clock would actually keep my son in bed? As a parent tired and frustrated you’ll literally try anything, that being said does this work for keeping my kid in bed, absolutely 110% not! And please don’t let this stop you from buying this as the product it’s self is great and very easy to use and down the road I hope it will help teach him to read time and to use an alarm clock. It’s a great concept but it didn’t work for me, not to say it won’t work for you. Another positive note it looks great in my sons room and he uses the night light on his own. Thanks all and good luck with your own sleep regression battles !!

Funciona muy bien
