Sam The Lamb

This is an amazing product for small children. We decided against the gro clock because as my husband pointed out you don't want blue light at night as blue light is the most likely to stimulate waking. Sam is red at night which is the recommendation for night light as least disturbing... Turns orange half an hour before and green when toddler can leave their bed. At night time Sam closes his eyes and opens them when it's time to wake them up.If you have a problem with a child who is being cheeky and getting out even though they know they shouldn't you are going to have to obviously do more work training your child and use Sam as a tool to help you achieve this. If you just have a child who sometimes wakes early and is unsure of when they should get up its an instant silver bullet as child wakes up, glances at Sam and instantly knows whether they should be trying to get back to sleep, wait for a little while (my son listens to a toni) or can immediately get up.Bottom line: we love it. Well worth the money.

The 3 colour settings are easy for daughter to understand (although sticking to them is proving a bit more of a challenge!). It’s a bit tricky to set up the clock and occasionally she’s somehow managed to override it and make it go green before get-up time. But generally it’s a really good nightlight with a range of brightness settings which can either be left on all night or automatic switch off after set periods of time. Sam’s eyes open when it’s time to get up.

Not the easiest to set up but ok. Batteries lasted longer than some other reviews. Very cute and initially much loved. But just randomly decides it’s daytime at night and vice versa. Very frustrating and confusing for my young daughter who is just learning to stay in bed at night, and can’t yet tell the time. Two months in and we’re looking to replace it - definitely not with the same again.

I really like this product - my 3 year old son now knows when he needs to put his lights out at night, and also when to get up. We are no longer being woken up by him at 5am! He took to it right away and is also using it to learn to tell the time. We liked it so much, we ended up getting two so that he can use one at my parents house when he stays over. One that was sent had a fault, but the seller sent a replacement quickly.I like that the night light isn't on all night so won't interfere with sleep, but it comes on when touched, so my son can check the time if he wakes up in the night. The colour system (red, amber, green) is very simple for him to understand. Some people have mentioned that the noise of the eyes opening wakes their kids up. The first one I bought was a little noisy and may have woken him up, but the more recent version is quieter. Over-all, it's such an improvement on being woken up very early and it has definitely improved his sleep routine. Note that it doesn't come with a plug (just a USB cable) but it can be powered with a USB phone charger plug or with batteries.

Great clock, my 20 month old son now stays in his bed until the sheep goes baa. Been using it for 2 months now with great success. Even when he wakes up, he knows he is to play in his bed with his teddies and other toys until it goes baa. From reading the reviews there seem to be some misunderstanding of the instructions. Setting the clock into sleep mode every evening is very simple. The more long-winded way is changing the actual settings, which you do by single pressing the bottom button. Once you have done that setup, you can then every evening just unlock the sheep and hold down the bottom button to put it into sleep mode. Hold it down until it displays the flashing wakeup time. This will put the clock in sleep mode using the sleep settings as you have setup previously. Very simple. You only need to do it the long-winded way if you want a different wake-up time, or different duration before the alarm goes off. The top nap button works in a similar manner. Single press it to change the nap settings. Once setup just unlock, and press and hold the top nap button until it flashes the nap duration. This will put it in nap mode using the nap settings as you have setup previously. If you ever need to cancel a sleep mode or nap mode, just unlock and hold down the left M button. This will cancel the sleep or nap mode. Hope that helps.

No doubt this is a cute item which my son really likes. The "baa-ing" alarm puts a smile on his face first thing in the morning and kicks the day off on a happy note. However there are 2 main problems with this clock.First, its as fiddly as heck to switch it to night mode - or indeed to change anything. To unlock you have to press 2 keys together. However by doing that it is very easy to accidently go into the nap time menu - which you can't get out of without switching nap time on. So then you have to unlock (again!) and cancel nap time and then do whatever it is that you wanted to do (hopefully). I have had to refer to the instructions quite a lot in the few weeks we've had it, though I've just about got the hang of how to cancel mistakes now.The second peoblem is that the screen is unreadable at night from any distance. So unless you have it right next to your childs bed then he/she won't be able to either tell the time or see how many stars are left. So the learning to tell the time function is largely pointless, which is a shame because the content of the display is good - just the clarity isn't.Compared to the ease of use and clarity of display of the GroClock this product is poor. And expensive.Another criticism I have (though this applies to virtually all kids clocks) is that blue light is proven to disrupt sleep and disturb circadian rythm (that is fact backed by numerous studies). And as a parent my number one priority is for my kids to sleep through the night. So why do the manufacturers keep using blue light? The only colour light which doesn't disrupt sleep, aparently, is red. Not as apealing, but if it helps our liitle ones sleep better then its a no brainer surely?

Great product but frustratingly stopped working after 1 year.

musste sie leider zurück geben, weil mein Enkel schon eine Uhr von seiner anderen Oma bekam

Vraiment génial, mon enfant dort beaucoup mieux. Mode d'emploi pas très clair

Belle qualité de réveil, mon fils comprend mieux s'il doit se lever ou non. Il s'y ait prix d'affection de son ami Sam ! Au bout d'1 an, j'ai eu un ptit soucis, mais le SAV a été extrêmement réactif et professionnel.

Les + :- Le concept du mouton qui ouvre et ferme les yeux est génial- l écran couleur permet bien de se repérer par rapport aux horaires introduitsLes - :- pas de programmation week-end- la sonnerie est sur un horaire séparé de l horaire réveil, donc si on oublie d aller reprogrammer celle-ci elle va sonner à une heure différente du réveil. Pas pratique.- le câble est très sensible et le chargeur de prise n’est pas fourni. Un câble classique de réveil serait préférable pour ce genre de configuration- les aiguilles analogiques sont presque illisibles et n ajoutent rien au final car il est difficile pour de jeunes enfants de lire l heure dessus

Suverän sovträningsklocka. Sonen har ingen tidsrytm, men efter vi skaffat denna har han äntligen börjat sova hela nätterna! Rekommenderar verkligen. Skrivs också mycket om att den är svår intstäkld vilket verkligen inte dtämmer, hur enkel som helst.
