Cloud bOcean Projector Nightlight with 2 White Noises & 2 Soothing Sounds | Adjustable Settings | Cry Sensor | Tranquil Turtle - Green (Rechargeable)

This must be my 5th or 6th purchase for friends expecting their babies. For $10 more it's a USB rechargeable option and I think we're getting this as gifts from now on as the batteries run out every couple of months and while changing it isn't a huge task, it'd be so much easier to just plug in the charger

Works great, my toddler is a bit distracted by this at first but the sounds and wave motions of the light are very soothing. It puts me to sleep!

Like most parents on here, this little guy was bought out of desperation while dealing with an extended sleep regression in my 2yo. Why else spend $60 on a stuffed animal with a light in it? While it was not instant magic like some of the reviews, I have zero regrets. Being my second kid, I've had a few different versions this is by far my favorite nighttime projector and music toy.Pros:The toy itself is easy to operate, the toddler can do it easily themselves. I love the brightness control and the soothing music is composed beautifully and looped perfectly so that I don't want to smash it into the wall if we have to cycle through the timer more than once. The turtle is cute and actually larger than I anticipated. The simple mechanics of 3 LEDs and 2 wavy plastic domes is ingenious and creates the most realistic underwater waves I've ever seen.Cons:The timer is too short for my willful child sometimes at bedtime. I would love to have an option of 45 minutes in addition to the 23 minutes. My kid always seems to be allllmost ready to sleep and the timer suddenly runs out and I have to back track the progress. The other con is a minor one, when one looks at the buttons from the back, the decrease in volume is on the left where most volume has the increase on the left instead. I've accidentally made it louder in the dark by accident. Super minor, but also mildly annoying.In short, Shelldon the turtle has become a staple bedtime tool and has drastically reduced middle of the night wake up longevity. My kid still wakes up due to night terrors or who knows, but instead of being up for 20 minutes or more, it's a quick resettle and they're back out in 5 minutes or less. I actually bought a second one for my eldest because it is so worth the price and they were jealous of how cool the projection was.

I bought this out of desperation, as most people probably do that spend almost $50 on a stuffed turtle and rushed Saturday delivery. I needed sleep. I needed my 9 month old to sleep. We were going out of town and I figured his number of night wakings would get worse with him getting over tired and getting only car naps for a day as we travelled. I was willing to give Tranquil Turtle a shot. After one of the worst car trips I've ever had with my kids, we got in really late and I was not hopeful that my little guy would get to sleep at all after some car sleep and then being up playing in a new place at 11pm. Go through a modified bedtime routine, read some stories and place little guy in the pack and play, turn on the turtle and leave the room. He talked a little, he babbled, he got quiet. I couldn't tell if he was asleep so I went up to spy and he was sitting up admiring the lovely under water effect the turtle creates in a dark room. I then watched him flop over on his side, raise an arm in the air to wave at the "waves" (I guess in surrender) and by the time I got back downstairs he was asleep. NO CRYING. We've been using the turtle for naps and bedtime for two full days and there have been no long drawn out battles. he just lays there and goes to sleep at some point. Even in the middle of the night if he wakes, turning the turtle back on does the trick. I figure he'll get the button pushing down soon enough. This turtle is magic. I am curious to see if the novelty wears off or if it still has the same effect at home when we are done with our trip. I am really excited to use it in our camper as it's difficult for him to get settled there due to the openness of his bed there and general busier sleeping area. I will update the review when we try it out. I am really really pleased so far with the turtle. The sounds are not too loud and optional. You can make the light move to make a wave like effect or be still. Some people complained that it only stays on for 23 minutes but I think it works out OK as it usually takes LOs 15 to 20 minutes to get to sleep - I think if it went on longer than that it might be a distraction. I suspect my guy is lulled in to this sleepy state as he watches the light show and if still awake when it stops he just nods off to dreamland. So glad I bought it.

I got it for me and I love the ocean sounds and whale noises. Its very nice and very calming.
