Cloud b Twilight Constellation Night Light, Sea Turtle

Cloud b Twilight Constellation Night Light, Sea TurtleWhile this sea turtle is nice; the original turtle is much better: The original: 1) has more stars/constellations to really turn the ceiling into a night sky; 2) it offers 3 color displays (blue, green and orange); the sea turtle CLAIMS to offer 3 colors, but it actually is only 2 and the "third" color comes when you press both the green and blue on at the SAME TIME, thus creating a "blue green" turtle shell. Further, when you do this, TWO displays are cast onto the ceiling (one green and one blue; NOT one blue-green display), it is very weird to see 2 moons and 2 sets of identical stars on the ceiling; and 3) on the original when you press each of the color buttons, the other color will automatically turn off, on the sea turtle if you don't turn off a color, you get that weird double display I was talking about.

Also, as a note, the endangered animals on the turtle only light up ON the turtle's shell NOT get cast onto the wall or ceiling.

If you are considering this, I absolutely would recommend the original turtle instead. Both my sons (2 and 4) LOVE LOVE LOVE it (and their friends all do, too, when they come over). They love to play with it and they love to fall asleep to it.

I purchased this turtle for my eleven year old brother for Christmas and he really loves it...as does everyone else in the house! Everyone wants their turn at night to have their ceiling illuminated with stars! I have also previously purchased the Twilight Ladybug for my three year old daughter, which is so adorable. My only comment between the two items is that the ladybug projects the stars over a greater area...even onto the walls somewhat (in a large sized kids room), while the turtle projects in a narrower oval shape which only does about half the ceiling in a large room. This is probably due to the shell shapes...but just FYI...if you want more coverage go with the ladybug!

Buy Cloud b Twilight Constellation Night Light, Sea Turtle Now

Don't expect to use it as a nightlight by which to see your child's facial expressions or to change his diaper (as I learned once they both arrived). It's not that bright. But if you want something that will project non-moving stars on the ceiling (i.e. a patch of about 3 ft by 3 ft on your ceiling), it works. You can also choose either green stars, blue stars, or both. It also has little pictures of endangered marine life that light up. If you want something to change a diaper, get a small lamp with a low wattage light bulb. If you want something "cute," especially for an older child, get this.

This is the 4th Turtle night light we have purchased for our Grandchildren and Godson. We have purchased the

Ladybug night light for our Granddaughter as well.

They are fasinated when the stars appear in their dark room as we demostrate their gift to them. They clap and

squeal with delight when the stars change colors.

The automatic turn off feature is perfect. The children are happy for bedtime as their "friend" soothes them with

stars on their ceiling as they drift off to sleep. Only one Grandchild has stayed up past the 45 minutes and the turtle light turned off. He simply called out "hey, will someone come in to turn this light on". Too funny.

You will not be disappointed. We love the turtle, Sea Turtle and Ladybug night lights. The Sea turtle has colorful

sea creatures on his shell. We have not seen it, this info is from our daughter. Our grandson who was given the Turtle, the original night light asked his Mom if he could trade with his little brother for the Sea Turtle! He wanted the newer version.

I have a nine week old who is sleeping through the night, but I wanted to have a night light for her that glowed with color and projected something for her to focus on at night in case she had sleep problems moving from the bassinet to the crib. We got this last night and I am boxing it up to return right after I write this.

The cut-outs for the stars are only on two of the top "shell" portions, so you don't get the full canopy on your ceiling like you do with the ladybug. Also, the pattern is very weird, nothing like stars falling over everything in a magical way like you imagine when you order this for your child. The sides that light up are pretty cheesy; it makes you irritated that the space was wasted when it could have been used for more star cut-outs. You can make certain animals light up on the shell, but it's dumb; doing so makes it so you can't even see the picture of the animal any more, just this bright spot on the shell.

The light projection comes in blue, green, or "aquamarine"...yeah, it's only the green and blue on at the same time but not mixing the colors as they project through the cut-outs (so you even get two moons showing on your ceiling so it looks extra dumb).

Seriously, this is so lame. Get the ladybug instead. I got the ladybug for my 10 year old, and it was very cool. We put it in the middle of her room on the top of a tall laundry basket, and the whole ceiling and walls were covered in stars. The seaturtle is very very lame.

Oh, and the bedtime story that comes with it would FREAK OUT a small child. It's all about, "oh, this sweet little animal is going to die forever if you don't save it. You need to hurry and save it before it dies". Like I want to then kiss the forehead of a three year old and say "goodnight" after I have just told them that! Not too soothing before bed. (Really, the story is pretty hard-core for little kids tell them animals are going to die right before bed. Nice).

Anyway, this is lame, so don't get it.
