Cloud b Ocean Projector Nightlight with White Noise Soothing Sounds | Adjustable Settings and Auto-Shutoff | Tranquil Turtle - Pink

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

I bought the Cloud b Tranquil Turtle Night Light right before I gave birth to my second son. It was to go in his nursery which was turtle/ocean themed.Overall, I absolutely adore this night light. Upon arrival, the Cloud b Tranquil Turtle is packaged in a beautiful display box with a small story book inside of it about Tranquil Turtle. The packaging would make this great as a gift for any kiddo or expecting mother!As far as the night light functionality goes, the waves displayed onto the ceiling are very soothing and tranquil for little ones, and was even as soothing (if not even more-so) for me as an adult! You can either set the wave display to move across the ceiling as though the light refracting in the water is actually moving, or you can set it to stationary. In order to get the full effects of the nightlight, the room has to literally be pitch black. If there is even a slight bit of light in the room, it will interfere will the underwater lighting.The music has 2 settings; 1 is tranquil music for your little one, and the other setting is the ocean/waves crashing on shore (with occasional seagull sounds). The music as well as the night light both function on a timer, so you don't have to worry about burning down the battery by leaving it on all night. At the same time, it would be nice to have the option to leave the night light and music on as long as you desire without having to turn it back on after the timer is done every time.My 2 complaints with this turtle are that:1) The bottom of the turtle where you install the batteries does not have very good securing. There is a small velcro strip to hold it closed, and the stickiness of the velcro faded within the first 6 months of owning the turtle. The flap that covers the batteries always seems to be hanging open now. It'd be nice if it had better securing.2) The turtle drains battery power FAST. If you love to use this regularly, like I did for my sons, expect to go through a lot of batteries. This turtle is not energy efficient at all and no matter what batteries I used, I seemed to have to replace them almost every week. If buying this turtle, I highly recommend in investing in rechargeable batteries.Even with my issues with the Cloud B Tranquil Turtle, I absolutely adore this nightlight, as do my boys. I would recommend this product in a heartbeat.

I highly recommend the tranquil turtle for anyone who needs a little help getting a young child to sleep. Worth every penny for us!From the time she was an infant, my daughter has not been able to fall asleep on her own. As much as we tried, we always had to get her completely to sleep and then sneak out of the room. At 2 1/2 years old, we decided it was finally time to teach her to fall asleep alone. The tranquil turtle has been a miracle! I had her pick it out with me online and she was very excited to await his arrival in the mail. We told her, "Sleepy Turtle will be your new bedtime friend." We kept the rest of her bedtime routine the same, but then instead of laying with her in the dark for an hour waiting for her to fall asleep, we simply turned on the tranquil turtle, asked if she preferred the waves sound or the music (she prefers the music) and kissed her and Sleepy Turtle goodnight and left the room. Much to our surprise, we did not have a big battle!We've been using the turtle for about two weeks now and it has worked from day one. At most, she might call out for us once, but with a little reassurance she settles down right away. It also soothes her back to sleep if she wakes up in the middle of the night. She absolutely loves him. He sleeps in her bed and she'll even carry him around the house during the day. The light projections are beautiful and both the ocean sounds and the music are very soothing. I was afraid the 23 minute timer wouldn't be long enough, but it's never been an issue. Our daughter is always asleep before the timer shuts off. Sleepy Turtle is now an indispensable part of our bedtime routine!
