It's About Time Stoplight Sleep Enhancing Alarm Clock for Kids, Elmo & Friends

We recently switched our 2 year old daughter from her crib to a "big girl bed"...but we were having a tough time with her staying in her bedroom in the morning - and she always was a great sleeper. A friend of ours suggested this cool alarm clock which features the red, yellow, green light...and it works like a charm! Our daughter is a big Elmo/Abby fan, which makes this alarm clock even better. Basically you just set the alarm at night and turn on the red light, (the yellow light is literally just a night light if you want it on), when the clock reaches the time you set, the light will turn green. Please make sure to remember to actually turn off the "alarm" feature, because otherwise you will wake up the baby even if they are sleeping past the green light. It will take some adjusting, and some talking and bribing to your child, but eventually the will learn that even if they wake up before the green light, they can only leave their room when the light turns green! Highly suggest this, specially if you are having difficulties with your child staying in their room during nap/night time.

Our daughter was having a constant problem getting up way too early for us, we purchased another type of clock from Amazon and it was a failure, however we read the mix reviews on this and were skeptical, after we returned the other one and got this one . A year later, we must say this thing is freaking awesome and amazing. We can actually get an extra 30 minutes of sleep and it may not sound like a lot but for a parent with a toddler its' an extra 30 minutes of not having someone jumping on your head, or screaming at you. The key thing we realized with this clock is; its a training tool and order for you to be successful at it you have to train your kid. With our daughter we taught her when the "Light is red, we stay in bed", and When the light is Green its time to get up. We set the clock up for 6:30 in the morning, but the key thing is at night we turn the alarm on together and its a sign that we need to slow down and get ready to go to bed. If she wakes up at 6:00 AM, we walk her back to bed and she lays there till the light turns green. She has now been conditioned to get a book or play with her dolls until the light on the clock turns green, which has been a plus for us. It took us about a week to get the concept down including sending her back to her room until her clock turns green in the morning several times, and within a month she would sit in her bed quietly until the light turns. We also found out with our daughter her standard wake up time is 6:30, and we tried to see if we can manipulate her into staying in bed later with the clock and it did not work. The problem is she is only willing to stay in bed for up to 30 minutes, and after that she gets restless, so my advice is to use this in conjunction with your kids natural wake/sleep cycle, as this will not work miracles. Our only regret is that we did not discover this early enough it would of saved us some extra months of sanity. Cons: One Setting: You can only setup one alarm time, there is no timer. It would be great if there was a timer setting so we could use this for nap time. Because there is only one time setting we only use it at night. The setup is kind of cumbersome which means once we have it setup we don't mess with it. Price: I think the price is kinda of high for what this product is, but I guess you are selling parents control over their toddlers wake-up schedule, and an extra 3.5 hours of sleep per week in our case. I guess most parents would pay more than the asking price for that.

We bought this product for my two-year-old son who had begun waking up earlier and earlier. By the time that we were done he was waking up at 4:30 in the morning and we were absolutely exhausted. We told him that he got a new clock and he was not allowed to get out of bed until the light turned green, and it has honestly changed our entire morning and possibly our lives! I never thought that he would actually stay in bed to wait for the greenlight, but then the first morning when he was whining we went into his room and waited until the light was green before we allowed him to get out of bed, and honestly we have rarely had any difficulty ever since! We use the yellow light as a night light. My only complaint would be that the greenlight only stays on for one hour, So the rare occasion where he does sleep in, he doesn't know that it is OK to get out of bed. Overall an excellent product that I keep on recommending to all of our friends with kids!

I bought this clock about 9 months ago, a few months after my daughter's 3rd birthday. She was waking up 2 to 3 times per night and waking my husband and I for various unnecessary reasons (such as "I want to cuddle in YOUR bed..." or "Can I sleep with my stuffed animal?"). My husband and I had become zombies getting no sleep! This clock basically functions like an alarm clock but it has no alarm or sounds. It uses only lights. You can set any time you want to be the "wake" time. At bedtime you turn the "alarm" on and the red light comes on. When the wake time is reached, the red light goes off and the green light goes on. It took a couple of conversations to explain this to my daughter, but she did understand -- she easily related it to what she was learning at preschool with cars and stoplights. I can't say that it's prevented her from getting up 100% of the time, but she rarely wakes us up anymore -- whew! Overall I think this is a GREAT product. It always works, we've never had any problems with it. The only reason I rated it 4 stars is because aesthetically I think they could make the design look a little cuter. The white plastic makes it look kinda cheap. But the little car is really cute. Also, it's kind-of expensive for what it is. Although, getting more sleep at night is wonderful!

Al programar el reloj, explotó y sacó humo, obvio ya no sirve y no encuentro cómo devolverlo

Clock stopped working in first few days. No clear returns method

It's the perfect size, and does exactly what I needed. My kids know they are not to leave their room till the green light goes on in the morning. Now I can get the sleep I need without being startled awake far too early!

Exactly as shown and easy to set up. Bought for my 2.5 year old (who loves owls). Set it for 5am since she gets up early and I want her to have some wins. Mostly hoping it’ll keep her in her bed once we take of her rails. She is excited to turn on red button as part of bedtime routine.

We've tried other clocks with our kids, trying to get them to stay in their rooms sleeping until a reasonable hour - since their idea of when to wake up doesn't match ours. Other clocks didn't work, but the idea of a stoplight is so simple - kids recognize them when we drive, and learn quickly that Red is Stop. The overall quality of it wasn't the best (residual glue around the figures that really take away from the appearance), which is why I took away a star. It would be great if you could program the start time for the "stop", and not just the wakeup.
