Baby Products Reviews of Cloud b Twilight Constellation Night Light, Turtle
Customer Review: Almost Perfect!
Summary: 4 Stars
This has saved me on many a night when my tired, fussy baby had a hard time going to sleep. She LOVES her Twilight Turtle! When she was tiny (3-4 months) I'd set it next to her crib and she coo up at the stars. Starting at about 5-6 months I began setting it into her crib on nights when she couldn't seem to fall asleep; she is fascinated at how the starlight in the room moves when she moves the turtle. It keeps her quiet and occupied and settles her down and soon she drifts off to sleep. We almost always use the amber-colored lights as they are the dimmest and most soothing. But she'll switch the colors around and they all look great in her darkened nursery.
It really is just about perfect for what it is meant to be...but if I could wave my magic toy-engineering wand...I wish the shell was some kind of softer material or covered in felt so that it would be a bit more snuggly for crib play. And it would truly be awesome if the light display could move, like stars circling the sky, but I know that's not what this was designed for. I just need to figure out how to rig a little rotating table! ;)
Customer Review: Love this Turtle
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this Cloud b Twilight turtle for my 3 and 2 year old sons for Christmas. They absolutely love it. The turtle is soft and the shell is a hard plastic. It's sturdy enough that my kids can carry it around and let it fall. With that said, I would not let my kids throw it, or step on it, or otherwise abuse it. Right now it sits on a bookshelf in between their beds and the stars don't fill the entire room like in the picture, but it fills enough of the room that my boys are absolutely in amazed. There are three different colors to choose from for the stars. It automatically turns off after 45 minutes. The first few days I kept having to threaten to remove the turtle because there was a lot more playing than sleeping going on since they were carrying it around the room and shining it on each other, and they were turning it back on every time it turned off. However, that only lasted a couple of days and now it's perfect. If you're expecting a planetarium-like display, then this is not for you, but if you are looking for something to capture your young child's imagination, then this is the perfect item.Customer Review: Disappointed and still waiting....

Our daughter was really excited to get the twilight turtle from Santa on Christmas morning. It is really cute and seemed well made. We were all very excited for night time to give it a try but then came the disappointment. There was only the faintest light coming from the turtles shell - you can only see the light when you peer inside his shell. Customer service at Baby Because was very prompt and friendly and told us they would ship a replacement immediately. Our daughter learned that not even elves are perfect. And we're still patiently awaiting the replacement... UPDATE 1/9 we rec'd the replacement and the lights work - very cool! Our daughter loves it! Problem now is that it only stays on for 1 min. then shuts off (should be 45 min). Calling for support in the am. We're not giving up yet.... Ooops, I failed to update.... It took four tries (the third unit had the same problem as the first) but we finally got one that works! It's a very neat item and our daughter loves it! Bummed that it took so many tries but kudos to Baby Because customer support for prompt replacements!Customer Review: Both of my kids ages 5 and 8 love this!

My 8 year old daughter and 5 year old son both love this turtle. The blue and green stars show up best on the ceiling but to address some of the comments made about the amber stars not showing up, I disagree. They aren't as vibrant as the blue and green. They aren't quite as defined as the blue and green either, but my kids actually like the amber colored stars to fall asleep to. The other colors are very bright and more for enjoying before bed rather than actually trying to fall asleep to. My kids keep the turtles at the end of their beds (which aren't particularly high beds either) and the stars show up great at that height. I have regular height ceilings, nothing vaulted. Their bedroom walls are light green and a light beige with white ceilings and the stars are defined and perfect. I like this product so much I'm going to get one for both of my toddler nephews. It would be cool if it had a setting where the stars can move in a slow circlular pattern or twinkle or change colors randomly rather than the manual change of color buttons, but I still love it just the way it is.Customer Review: My Kids Fight Over It!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 20 month old son received a Twilight Turtle from Santa this year, and he adores it! At first when he opened it, he and my 3 year old, tossed it aside. At bed time I turned it on for him and he loved it! He has so much fun changing the colors of the stars and looking at the ceiling. My daughter loves it too, and tries to steal it every night at bedtime for herself, lol.
The turtle came with a cute story about his family, an adoption certificate, and a booklet informing you of what constellations are projected from each part of the shell( Orion, Draco, The Little Dipper, Canis Major, Cepheus, Pegasus, Gemini, The Big Dipper ). They are a little hard to locate when the shell is colored amber or near a wall, but if you have the turtle in the middle of a dark room on blue or green you can find them. And really, my 20 month old could care less, he really just likes the pretty stars and the pretty glowing shell.
I highly recommend this turtle, I have bought it as a gift, with glowing results, and now I plan on purchasing a ladybug for my daughter!
