PlayMonster Mirari OK to Wake! Owl with Night-Light and Music

I wanted to wait a month before posting a review, but after a little over a week I am so confident that this is the BEST "Ok to Wake!" product out there that I felt the need to reply right away.I researched several of these light up "ok to wake" type products before picking out this charming little owl. I nearly bought two different ones, but thankfully I found this one instead. I was a bit hesitant to purchase due to it having no reviews, but I figured since it is Prime, I can always return it. I am so grateful I did!My son started waking up at about 6:45am instead of 7:30am a month ago, and would yell for me or my husband to come and get him out of bed. Not only did he wake my husband up, he woke our one year old up as well with his calls. My husband works late, and I was sleeping through the noise, so he was getting robbed of over an hour of sleep every morning. We were fed up and needed to find a solution that a three year old could quickly understand. When the owl arrived the next day after we placed our order, it took less than 5 minutes to set up and explain the "magic owl" to our son. We did a practice run with him to show him how it worked and crossed out fingers that he would stay quiet until the owl glowed green the next morning...IT WORKED!!!! I set my alarm for 5 minutes before the owl was due to "wake" and sure enough, when 7:30 hit, our son started calling for us! We heard nary a peep before the owl's eyes turned green. Hilariously the next day, our son started talking to the owl to try and get him to wake up, so we had to explain that the owl doesn't speak human before he wakes up, and that he wouldn't understand what was being said to him. Other than that, no problems to report whatsoever!Pros:I DID NOT want a nightlight for my son, since he has never used one. Why start a bad a habit? This owl doesn't glow green unless the timer goes off, and glows orange if he is squeezed before wake-up.Our son LOVES him. He bounces out of bed and runs over to his owl to hug him every morning when his eyes are bright green. When he hugs him, a sweet little boy voice comes on saying, "It's ok to wake now!" and starts to play upbeat classical tunes.User friendly/dummy proof programming.Appears to have good battery life so far, and comes with batteries already inside.Cute, kid friendly design.Cons:At $35, the quality could be a lot better. The owl had some loose strings and probably only cost a buck or two to make. However, an extra hour of sleep a night is priceless, so I would've paid $100 for it. If they lowered the price to $25, it's possible every parent would have this for their child. It really is that awesome.So that's that. I will update and edit should anything change in the future. This will be my go to baby shower gift, or first/second birthday present from now on. It's really that good.Update: The owl just ran out of batteries, and they were the generic ones that came with it. I would advise checking the owl about once a week to see if they are still fresh. Just a squeeze to make sure it lights up and it's voice sounds normal.

My older nephew had an earlier version of the owl that seemed to be a miracle worker so I was excited to try this for my oldest. We ordered it and it worked great for over a year. We LOVED the owl. It became a part of our bedtime routine, “see you in the morning when the sun comes up and the owl turns green” was required every night 😂. My son loves the lullabies and it was a nice feature to be able to adjust the volume and brightness.After a year or so, it started running out of battery quickly so I ordered a new owl. The replacement never worked right, the batteries would die after a few days or I would have to reset it when it randomly stopped working. We eventually gave up and went without an owl.My youngest (3) just switched to a big boy bed and morning was getting earlier every day so we decided to try the owl again. Another dud was delivered. After about two weeks it was on the fritz. My oldest (now 7) asked if he could get another owl too, so I ordered two more owls. One as a replacement for my 3 year olds dud and one for my 7 year olds who just has fond memories of his owl.So far I’ve ordered 5 of these bad boys and 2 of them appear to be working great - the verdict is still out on #5.To be clear: it’s cute, soft, plays nice lullabies, has a soft nightlight glow, helps my kids stay in bed, and they love it. I would pay more money to try to make sure it works consistently.

We got this when our previous Mirari OK to Wake device https://www.amazon.com/Mirari-Wake-Alarm-Clock-Night-Light/dp/B00EAHSBV4 broke after too many times being dropped out of the toddler bed. We chose this one given that it looked softer and more "insulated" with fewer plastic parts that could break. I also liked that there was a locking function and that the control buttons were hidden behind velcro. We leave it in the corner of our toddler's bed and he generally does not touch it much at all. He can't really push the button in the middle on his own to generate the music, and while it is cute, it does not really draw his attention. The times when he has picked it up or tried to push the button, something has happened at least half the time where the controls get changed, even when it is locked. Poor guy sits patiently (often with one of us waiting alongside him in the dark) and the clock never turns green because it somehow got reset or zapped out. So I think we have to either leave this in a place outside of his reach or try another strategy. Frustrating.Updated posting (and revised to 1 star): After diligently checking each night that the time was still set correctly and hadn't reset, tonight the mechanism completely fried. This is after using the item for no more than six weeks. Don't waste your money on this piece of junk.

I purchased this from Limolin and do not buy it from them. I contacted prior to the return date advising that when it was just bumped a little the battery would reset and loose all settings I entered. It cannot be be put in bed with your toddler as it will go onto demo mode with the smallest bump. The seller did not follow up like they promised and when I did again they told me the return date had passed and would do nothing.

L’heure se déprogramme tout le temps donc impossible d’utiliser le produit, changer les batteries ne change rien! Ultra déçue, payer le gros prix pour un produit qui ne fonctionne pas .

Malfunctioned after a few months of use.
