Baby : Cloud b Twilight Turtle - Constellation Night Light

Rating: - We'll keep it
Yes, unless you have an absolutely very very very dark room you won't see the Amber stars. But green and blue show up quite well.

Yes if you don't put it high up on something in the middle of the room you won't get the best show. But really it's not a big issue. No the stars don't move (but I didn't expect them to though it'd be nice if it did).

We put the turtle either on a rocking chair in the middle of the room. Or we prop it up to angle a certain direction if we have to put it on the dresser or changing table near a wall. The end result a cascade of starshaped lights that are interesting to stare at. Essentially a nightlight with a timer.

(to turn it off 'early' you have to flip the switch on the belly. To turn it on just touch a button on top, color select also on top)

IMO the turtle looks a little 'ugly' (as it does in the picture) not as cute as it could.. but it's a neat concept that works fairly well in practice and we like it.

Rating: - not as good as the original turtle
My daughter has the orignal turtle and it's great, this one my son loves but it doesn't show the stars as well as the other. For the money, I think that the quality has gone down. I don't think that I would buy another one of these.

Rating: - Lifesaver for sleep deprived parents!
Our 4 year old son used to wake up every night at 1 and 5, and couldn't go back to sleep unless one of us sat on his bed with him. He saw this turtle in a magazine and BEGGED to have it. I was skeptical, but his grandmother went ahead and got it. From the first night, he has stayed in his room the whole night! When he wakes up in the middle of the night, he turns on the comforting turtle's light, which can be changed to amber yellow, blue, or green. It works beautifully in my kids' small room, with a low celing, but I think it looks good in other bigger rooms we tried. My kids LOVE the stars; it really calms them. My husband and I think its so romantic, too! Added bonus is how the light shuts off automatically after 45 min. This product is a MUST if your kid is scared of the dark.

Rating: - Love the idea, but product isn't all that
When my daughter was born, I searched high and low for this turtle, ignoring bad reviews on the internet. I wanted to see it myself, and finally found it at a kid's boutique when my daughter was a few months old.
True, no one has a tall dresser in the middle of a room, which would be the most desired place for this product to sit for it to work as intended. Still, it could be placed on a high book case and the stars will light up the wall and be faint on the ceiling. Green and blue lights work best. Amber can hardly be seen.
When the batteries went out, I bought some and discovered that the batteries that came with the turtle (included as a "TRY ME" advantage) had corroded. They really didn't last long, and I figured that was why. Needless to say, new batteries didn't help. I wrote the comany and was told if I could find my receipt, and provided the turtle wasn't more than 90 days old, they would be happy to send me a new one if I paid for shipping. I didn't have a reciept and the turtle was more than a few months old.
Point blank, if a company wants to market this as a high end child product, they should be more wary of customer complaints. Even with the weak lights and the bad reviews, I thought this was cute enough to be buying for every new baby out there. Now I will warn people against it. For the 30 dollar price tag, you'd be much better buying a glo-worm. My daughter's still works and she's thrown it and banged it against her crib. The "hand-painted" twilight turtle was never in her hands and thanks to the ridiculous company policy, she will never enjoy it.

Rating: - Awesome Nightlight Option for the nursery
I love this product and so does my 3 month old. He does better at night with a light on and this gives enought light to do the job. I love the stars and moon on the ceiling and think he does too
