Lilikim Twilight Turtle Classic Mocha

I did a lot of research before buying this as I already have a few nightlights for my baby but they each have their issues, mainly battery life and mechanical noises. The Cloud B Turtle is perfection. The plastic shell and plush toy are high quality materials and are very well made. I was a bit worried at first when I saw the teeny tiny 3 individual colour LED's, but they really do kick out loads of light. The stars are actually star shape when they hit the walls and ceiling, not just fuzzy blobs. The way the lights transition from colour to colour is a really lovely effect. The constellations are a brilliant touch and looking forward to when baby is old enough to look at them and learn.There are no mechanical noises. It shuts itself off after 40 minutes which is more than ample time for baby to fall asleep, this also keeps the batteries going for a long time. It takes standard AA batteries, which I was pleasantly surprised about being included, and once they die I will use re-chargable ones that will last a lifetime in the turtle! I have nothing negative to say about this product, even the box it came in was well made and beautifully designed making it ideal to give as a gift. This is just one of the those products that works so well it makes you want to take the time to write an Amazon review.

I looked at several star lights and night lights before settling on this one based on the strength of previous reviews. My little boy was going through a fear of the dark phase and I needed something he would enjoy. This is super product! The star show lights up the room with lots of beautiful stars in either orange, blue or green. The green is my personal favourite as its so soothing. There is a built in timer which automatically switches off the unit after 45mins. This means you dont have to risk waking your little one to go in and turn it off. What I really like is that the stars are organised into real constellations. A little booklet is provided to help you to identify them and includes a lovely little story. The first night I tried it my little boy went from sobbing at bedtime as he didn't like the dark, to leaping into bed to look at the stars and the moon. We have used it every night since - and at naptime - and the batteries are still going strong. Yes, its pricier than others on the market, but in my opinion it is well worth the extra money for the quality product you will receive. Recommended.

My review is in 2 parts - initial thoughts and 10 days later.... FIRST IMPRESSIONS... Bad stuff... - constellation booklet isn't in English. - colours don't change automatically - you have to press the individual buttons to get a colour change which is a bit rubbish and deliberate. - the screw head to the battery unit was badly damaged. - the batteries included were flat. - the plush cover to the battery compartment is not very secure - it only fixes on 2 sides so little fingers could easily turn the item on or off although the batteries are completely secure. - the unit is bright when the lights are on - I guess it needs to be to see the stars but it does light her room up!! Good stuff... - its cute! - stars are very soft and clear - and lots of them! - battery compartment very secure. I'm not overly impressed at the moment, especially as Madam didn't even like it! She's 20 months and going through a clingy at bed time stage.... TEN DAYS LATER>>>> Bedtime has been revolutionarised! I'm amazed. Used in conjunction with the Gro-Clock, we are now at a happy stage when we go to bed. Much of the issue (in hindisight) I think, was due to to the fact that we only have 6-7pm together during the week as both my husband and I are full time at work. I especially had started to 'rush' that time, keen to get on and get 'stuff done'. I wasn't making bedtime safe and secure - but the turtle has really helped focus me in on that and we have made bedtime into a really special ritual finished by counting the stars (only up to 10 at the moment or we'd be there all night!) and singing 'Twinkle Twinkle'.... My daughter now asks for 'Turtle' and it has allowed me to differentiate to her what toys are for bedtime. It's helped with night-time wakings (now down to occasional one rather than 8 or so...!) - I just put Turtle on, give her a quick cuddle and say 'sleepytime' - and she's gone. The stars are really clear and they're everywhere! I'm sure - perhaps? That it's partly coincidental and probably more to do with our structuring of bedtime but Turtle seems to have helped bring safety, security and snuggliness back to bedtimes - and for that, I'm very grateful. OVERALL? Only rated now 4 stars due to my initial comments. It would be 5 stars if the colours could change themselves rather than the clunky buttons and the little finishing touches.

We thought we had bagged a bargain but alarm bells soon rang out. The item eventually turned up after waiting three weeks..from China!! When we opened the Jiffy bag what I would describe as a cheap piece of tat appeared. The plastic shell was thin and poor quality, with sharp edges, the cloth which formed the body had been glued to the plastic, but this had come away and the cotton wool stuffing was coming out. There was no way we would have placed this in our Grandsons bedroom. Lesson learnt, you get what you pay for !!

Purchased as a gift for a friends baby. Looks great, feels lovely. Stars project really well and cover a good sized area (I tried it out in my 25 x 13 ft living room and it covered almost all of the ceiling) without becoming too blurry, moon & stars look subtle and ambient on the ceiling, which is what a sleepy baby needs. Light colour can be changed manually to be left on your babies favourite colour or you can leave it to change through the colours. When it changes through the colours you get double the stars as they change... example, blue stars will slowly appear as amber stars slowly disappear. There is no sudden change of colours or periods of darkness as they change. I read the other reviews and it seems lots of people received cheap copies and not the real cloud B turtle. I can confirm, I received the real cloud B turtle as shown in the picture. Looks just as cute and cuddly in real life as it does in photo.

I ordered this for our 5 year old daughter who was a terrible sleeper. We were at our wits end as bedtime and sleeping have been a trauma for the whole family ever since she moved from her cot to her bed at the age of 3. She is terrified of being alone upstairs and will wake up numerous times during the night and climb in to bed with my husband and I. We would have to sit with her waiting for her to go to sleep as she didn't want to be alone in her room and would literally scream in fear of being alone. This meant that my husband and i would to take turns each evening sitting with her and inevitably falling asleep ourselves by the foot of her bed to get her off to sleep. I read books on sleep, invested in countless night lights and even tried a reward system (ie bribes!!) - she loves dinosaurs, and her collection is now second to none, but this had no impact on her sleeping pattern. I came across the turtle by chance, and I read the reviews which mostly seemed very positive and thought it was worth a shot (desperate to try anything really!). She picked the colour she liked and was very excited about receiving it. It arrived within a day or two and unusually with batteries included and installed. Already a good sign! My daughter loves that the turtle is soft and cuddly despite its hard shell, he snuggles up to her every night. Night one - my husband took her up, read a story, turned off the lights and switched on the turtle. It lights up the room really nicely but isn't bright at all, just lovely soft hues (amber green and blue). He stayed with her for 5 minutes, then left the room while she was still awake with the promise of returning to check on her 5 mins later, which he did. He repeated this 3 times, by the third visit she was fast asleep. NOT ONE TEAR WAS SHED!! She stayed in her own bed all night..!! We thought it must be beginners luck, but.. Night two - same as night one, but this time she was asleep on the 2nd check up Night three, 4 and 5 - only one check up required, she just goes straight to sleep after story and lights out. We are blown away by how effective this has been for us! Its a miracle in our book! We love the turtle, so cute and cuddly, fantastic projection of real constellation of stars on the ceiling, it is a GREAT product, can't recommend highly enough!

I loved the idea of this and couldn't wait to bring it into the kid's room. However, while it does what it says it does, the build quality was a lot lower than I expected. To add to that, I expected the stars to be clearer and ultimately it is just a light piece of plastic with star shapes cut in it. To be honest, I don't really want to complain because as I say, it works - I just expected better. Also, saw the same range of items (the other animals) for less than £5 in the high street so again, doesn't feel like great value.

A wonderful idea and I wish I had bought one sooner. I have been looking for a light that projects images onto the walls and ceiling for a while now and this is brilliant. My little girls 4 and 2 yrs absolutely love it. You can choose from three colours green, blue and amber and the room is filled with stars and a moon. As other reviews have said it works best in a very dark room and the image is much sharper if you can get it close to the ceiling. I place the kids turtle on their bedside table and they dont seem to mind that the stars are a little bit blurry. It has an automatic shut off timer after 45 minutes which is just long enough for my two to drift off. I tend to put it on again if I see to them during the night. The only problem I have is that they fight over which colour to have on ! Im thinking of getting the ladybird also so they can have one each. Well worth the money. Would recommend.
