LumiPet Bear

So far I'm really impressed with this little night light.My toddler, 2.5 yo LOVES it. He told me (without prompting) that it was "very cute".It seems very durable. My kid has been smooshing it in over and over and over. It pops back out easily ever time. There's a good number of colors and my kid likes to go through and say all their names. He also likes picking out a color before bed.There is a pretty decent amount of control/options just by tapping the light. It starts with dim white, then bright white, then all the colors fading from one to the next, and then all the colors jumping from one to the next --on this setting, you can wait for the color you like and tap the light one more time and that's the color that it will stop on.We have the version with the remote. There are a couple more things you can do with the remote that you can't do just by tapping, including: dimming any color you set it on (there's probably five or so different dim settings from bright to low light. You can also set a timer (15 min, 30 min, 60 min). My kid loves playing with the remote (which he also sometimes pretends is a cell phone, lol!).The battery lasts a pretty long. We've been using it for about two to three days at a time before needing to recharge -- for both nap (2 hours) and bedtime (it's on for probably 10-12 hours). We'll see how battery life holds up over time, but right now it's stellar. Longer than my iphone stays charged...!!The only teeny tiny complaint I have is that it's pretty sensitive -- we'll get it on the color/dim setting we want and then set it on my kid's pillow and it'll change b/c it thinks we tapped it. dang! But that's not that big of a deal in my book. And I'm just really pleased that my kid likes it so much and it helps him feel better at night.UPDATE: The battery has since stopped lasting so long. At this point it can last about a day of use (that's all night and about three hours of nap), which is still pretty impressive. However, I've taken to just keeping it plugged in unless my kid wants to play with it (which he still loves to do). It's been a great tool to help with bedtime/naptime routine: he likes to help get the room ready (close shutters, turn on white nose, turn off overhead light), and sometimes it's kind of a pain to have him do all that (esp b/c some of it involves me having to lift him up!). Instead, I have him pick a color for his polar bear, which he loves to do, while I do everything else. Works well and everyone is happy. :-)ANOTHER UPDATE:The remote stopped working recently. I contacted the seller. They replaced the remote for free -- very kind and fast customer service. I was very pleased!

I got this for my boyfriend's son and it was just what he needed. He's 5 and co-sleeps when he's with his mom and used need to his dad to lay with him until he fell asleep. Since he and I started putting him to bed and having him fall asleep on his own, he had a hard time with a lot of crying, and waking up in the middle of the night crying. He absolutely loves this soft squishy light and sleeps with it every night. It makes the dark less scary since he's fascinated by all the different light settings. He likes to pull on the silicone covering, but it's pretty durable and pops back on the light piece easily. It seems like it would be safe for young toddlers. This plus soothing music lets him fall asleep fast. Since I got this we haven't heard him cry in the middle of the night (past few months or so) so I'm assuming the light helps him feel less scared then too. The charge lasts a long time. Once he lost the remote (he was very distressed) but you don't need it to have it work because of the button and touch feature. We eventually found the remote though :) SUPER recommended!!

Our 2 year old is starting to be able to climb out of his crib, so we wanted to have a light to at least keep him from hurting himself doing so. This light is pretty adorable, and it's got an impressive amount of settings and features (can set to stay at one color, to cycle abruptly to different colors, to fade into different colors, 3 timer settings or it can just be left on indefinitely). If needed I would feel safe leaving this in the crib with our son. It's very soft and almost squishy, rubbery plastic and presents no choking hazards. Some of the colors are brighter and more saturated, while others are soft and dim. Since you are able to select a constant color, it gives options for how bright the room will be during nap/sleep time. There are even 2 settings for white (one bright, one dim). This thing really is awesome. I can't attest to the battery life at this point but we plan to just leave it plugged in all the time anyway.One drawback, but not enough to ding a star, is that it does not come with the actual piece that plugs into the wall outlet but it does come with the cable.I almost went with a basic plug-in night light, but I'm very glad I spent the extra $5-10 to get this instead. Would recommend and absolutely would buy again!

Bought the first one and it still works 4 years later. Bought a second one for another room. The remote is very useful and the configuration options of colors and timer are helpful in getting the right nightlight mood for different children. The range of dimness to bright is also wide enough to cater to different needs.Charging: the first one does not hold the charge as well this many years later but that’s not an issue for us as it’s always plugged in now. Everything else still works well.Overall, good quality product.
