Tranquil Turtle

I bought this out of desperation, as most people probably do that spend almost $50 on a stuffed turtle and rushed Saturday delivery. I needed sleep. I needed my 9 month old to sleep. We were going out of town and I figured his number of night wakings would get worse with him getting over tired and getting only car naps for a day as we travelled. I was willing to give Tranquil Turtle a shot. After one of the worst car trips I've ever had with my kids, we got in really late and I was not hopeful that my little guy would get to sleep at all after some car sleep and then being up playing in a new place at 11pm. Go through a modified bedtime routine, read some stories and place little guy in the pack and play, turn on the turtle and leave the room. He talked a little, he babbled, he got quiet. I couldn't tell if he was asleep so I went up to spy and he was sitting up admiring the lovely under water effect the turtle creates in a dark room. I then watched him flop over on his side, raise an arm in the air to wave at the "waves" (I guess in surrender) and by the time I got back downstairs he was asleep. NO CRYING. We've been using the turtle for naps and bedtime for two full days and there have been no long drawn out battles. he just lays there and goes to sleep at some point. Even in the middle of the night if he wakes, turning the turtle back on does the trick. I figure he'll get the button pushing down soon enough. This turtle is magic. I am curious to see if the novelty wears off or if it still has the same effect at home when we are done with our trip. I am really excited to use it in our camper as it's difficult for him to get settled there due to the openness of his bed there and general busier sleeping area. I will update the review when we try it out. I am really really pleased so far with the turtle. The sounds are not too loud and optional. You can make the light move to make a wave like effect or be still. Some people complained that it only stays on for 23 minutes but I think it works out OK as it usually takes LOs 15 to 20 minutes to get to sleep - I think if it went on longer than that it might be a distraction. I suspect my guy is lulled in to this sleepy state as he watches the light show and if still awake when it stops he just nods off to dreamland. So glad I bought it.

Love this turtle. Projection is the best. I love how I feel like I’m in an aquarium. It’s legit too, covers the whole room - ceiling and walls. It rocks back and forth, I do wish it was a little more liquid like, but it’s still beautiful and peaceful. Best projection I’ve ever seen. Sounds are good. Wish there were more, but the two that are on there are nice. My son prefers the ocean sound which is closest to white noise. Love that you can adjust the volume and movement of the lights, and that it has automatic shut off. NOTE: you can have lights without sound, but not sound without lights. Hasn’t bothered me at all, but good to know. I had one for my daughter. She loved it but she outgrew it and I stripped the screw to the battery door so I couldn’t change the batteries, so I got rid of it. Just bought another one for my 4 month old and he loves it too - I’m so glad because he’s so different from her and it’s an expensive toy/sleep aid. But pleased to report so far so great!

I have 4 kids under 6 and we love these. We are currently on our second one in 6 years. The first one lasted 5 years until my 2 year old spilled water over the buttons and it stopped working after that. Otherwise it was very durable. When our first one got damaged and we had to get rid of it I really dreaded spending the money on one again so I bought a couple of cheaper ones hoping that they would suffice... and while they are OK... they can't compare to this specific night soother. The music is SO soothing and sweet sounding and it goes with the moving ocean waves really well (it does also play just ocean waves but we prefer the music). It has lulled all of my kids to sleep when they were babies (and the new one we just bought currently lulls our newest baby) the moving wave light and the music blend is just beautiful. No joke. I spent money on a few cheaper versions and they just don't soothe a baby like this one. The only downside is you can't recharge them or plug them in... but at least my baby goes right to sleep! Sanity saver at night.

I absolutely loved this! I would highly recommend this to anyone who is trying to put their children to sleep. I'm expecting and I'm due next month. I bought this for my baby as well as the regular starry night turtle. If you purchase both together and use them both at the same time they look really nice on the ceiling. Stars and the ocean! I'm about to try this on myself when going to sleep since I have difficulty sleeping myself. I felt a lot more relaxed when I listened to the little melody that you can play with it. UPDATE: 12/22/2016 My kid is almost 4 now. This still works just as it did when I first bought this 3 years ago. She loves this thing and she swears by this going to sleep, even in new environments where she hasn't slept before. The only problem is that it's too good that she gets really upset when the batteries start dying out. This is actually really irritating because she'll wake up in the middle of the night bawling her eyes out BEGGING to have us replace the batteries. Thank goodness that the ones we use are rechargeable 3x AA batteries so we usually have an extra set handy just in case. Last night my husband just about had enough because she now started complaining that the wave thing stopped moving (she didn't press the 'move' button) and she cried so hard about it at 3 am. Again, it's too good that she has first world problems with this thing and he wants to throw it out so she can stop depending on it. I really wish they had a plug-in version of this and this will solve all of our parental sleeping problems.

I got this turtle after 3 orders, but the first time my son hold it he loved it, the music is so soft as well as the light, baby feels asleep very soon with the help of this turtle , he holds the turtle in his arms and sleep, even if he wakes in the mid night the sound makes him sleep easily, I luv you tranquil Turtle thanks to Cloud b for such great product. My son's favourite bed time partner. !!!!!!!

Compré la tortuguita para mi sobrino de 1 mes y medio y está encantado. No es para que se duerma, porque las olas son tan bonitas que se queda hipnotizado mirándolas, pero para que deje de llorar es maravilloso. Es relajante incluso para adultos. Se puede ajustar el brillo del proyector, e incluso quitarlo, poner o no sonido y ajustarlo también. Tiene dos melodías: un sonido de olas (el mejor) y otra canción con gaviotas de fondo. Mi único punto negativo es que la segunda, la de la música con las gaviotas, es algo repetitiva, pero diría que a mi sobrino eso le gusta, así que ni tan mal. Es tan relajante que mi pareja y yo estamos pensando sin bromas comprar una para nosotros.

This nightlight got our 13 month old to sleep in his cot for the first time since he was 6 months old. He slept with us because he absolutely refused to get in his cot and would scream every time we tried to put him in it. Over night he has completely changed, sleeping the cot all night and no crying when placed in. The nightlight has two sounds, a sea themed piece of music and waves. The internal lights project a wave pattern on the walls and ceiling. We use the wave sound and have the moving waves on a low brightness setting, so it's not too stimulating for our son. It completely distracts him and he lies down to look at it. He's usually asleep in about 10 - 15 minutes of turning it on. We put it in the cot as there are no sharp bits and take it out after he's gone to sleep. The turtle is well made and has a cute face. Although it's very expensive, I would absolutely recommend if your child hates the cot and you don't want to do 'cry it out'. Sleeping in the cot is a habit now for our son and he doesn't question being placed in there at bedtime or naps.

Fantastic addition to bedtime routine Great sensory activity for your little one Very calming and strong projection
