Custom Quest Boy Car Stoplight, Alarm Clock for Kids

We've got TWO--one for my son, and one for my daughter. Probably one of my favorite things we've bought EVER. We've had his for 2 years and my daughter's for 4 years, and they still work great. My kids come out of their room when their stoplight turns green, which means we get an entire night of uninterrupted sleep at our house. This helps: *Your sanity *your kid learn to tell time (since it *also* has the time display) *your kid to sleep more (if they wake up in the night, they look to see if their light has turned green yet and will go back to sleep) At first, you have to be consistent--"has your stoplight turned green yet?" and taking them back to bed if it's not time yet. (If they were upset by that, I would generally go and rock them in their room until the stoplight turned green if it was close to time.) But now, there's a security to that stoplight--it creates structure, which feels safe to little ones. We started training our little ones with this clock when they were around 2 or 2.5. My one tiny complaint: there is an alarm switch where you can turn on a loud, audible alarm that will go off when the stoplight turns green. Little fingers have turned that alarm on a couple of times, which created a fear of the alarm for a bit. To get past that, we put a sticker over the switch and told the frightened child that "Mommy has fixed it forever" and that it couldn't make that noise ever again. I would suggest starting there--covering the switch--to avoid that entire scenario.

I live in Australia and when I read the reviews from Australians I was a bit worried that the clock won't work for us but it's working. So the clock comes with an American adaptor and instead of getting a transformer we actually bought another adaptor that has 240V and it's working! Cute looking alarm clock! My son loves it!

Product delivered with an American plug on it!!!

Looks good but doesn't work with just batteries. Also.this plug will need a converter. Still hVent purchased one and don't know if it even works yet. Disappointing that the battery option doesn't work.

This clock light is amazing. It does exactly what it is supposed to do! Let me start with a background... I have a 2 3/4 year old & a 13 month old. They share a bedroom. All of a sudden since the time "sprung ahead" and it got bright out earlier and earlier, my 2 year old decided he should get up earlier. He used to sleep until 8am, then all of a sudden we were getting up at 630. He also kept waking up my other son, "Cameron it's time to get up, the suns up!!" So my kiddos were up earlier and earlier every day. Finally, a friend told me about this clock & sure enough I found it on Amazon. It is a little pricy for a 'clock' but I took the plunge. Boy am I glad I bought this. It works great. The light is red when he has to 'stay in bed' You set the clock for whatever time you would like it to switch to green. So I tell my kids when it's green you can open your eyes! Also, it's nice there is a setting for just the amber yellow light as a night light. I've been setting the color change to happen at 730am (you can also set it to have an actual alarm sound, but we don't use that feature at this time - maybe when the kids are in school) It is hilarious in the morning, I can hear my son get up around 630 and mumble to himself, "it's red, stay in bed" haha ... but once 7:30 comes around, he says "Mom! Dad! It's green! Time to get up!" I love this thing. Gives my husband, myself and our 13month old an extra hour of sleep (much needed). We plan on slowly adding 5 minutes every few days to get back to 8am. If you are in the same situation, I definitely recommend this item. It works great. I will adjust my review if anything comes up! :)
