When my daughter was 18 months old, we started introduced the "Okay To Wake" clock. She quickly learned to stay quiet in her crib until the light turned green. A few months ago her old clock broke and we had to find an alternative. After looking online and reading many reviews, I decided on this clock. I am so happy I did! Like the "Okay to Wake" clock, this clock has the green light feature that tells my now 5 year old daughter that it is okay to come out of her room in the morning. There is also a nap feature that you can set so the clock turns green after nap time. (For my 5 year old, we use it to tell her when her "quiet time" is finished.) Added bonuses with this clock are the red and blue light features. You can set the red light for bedtime. This has been very helpful as my daughter likes to play in her room after we read her books at night. The red light is a nice reminder for when it's getting late and time for her to get in bed and fall asleep. The blue light turns on 15 minutes before the green light in the morning. It tells her that it's okay to get up and play in her room. She loves that feature. This clock is super cute and has faces to go along with the colors. (For example, when it's red, the face is sleeping.) The clock is easy to set and has a lock feature to prevent your child from changing the settings. Once you set a wake-up time, you don't have to reset it unless you want the time to change. This clock has battery backup and can be plugged in to an outlet. If you want to encourage healthy sleep habits for your child (and have the ability to sleep in some mornings as a parent), I would highly recommend this clock!

My kids were so excited to get this alarm clock! They were actually asking me to check Amazon tracking all day! We switched from the Hatch to this because our oldest is getting to the age where we are starting to familiarize him with time so the digital clock was a huge plus!!! Little brother didn’t want to be left out and we got it on a deal so it was perfect! This has worked great at nap and bed time as it has both visual and auditory cues for the kids. It has cut our bedtime routine way down since they can see it’s time for bed! The kids call it Teddie and having the face is huge for them!! The only gripe I have is that the wake light overrides the sound machine so when the sound turns off, it actually wakes the kids up. Heavy sleepers probably wouldn’t care, but my kids are light sleepers and any disturbance in sound is hard for them. I may try having it turn off sooner when they are in deeper sleep, but then it doesn’t drown out the other if they get up earlier in the morning. Otherwise a great concept and easy to use! I’d give it 4.5 stars if I could because of the sound machine turning off.

This clock hasn't been totally life-changing for us, but it does have all of the features I was looking for and functions as expected! Our 3 year old son was getting up and coming into our room at 5:30 most mornings, and while he still whines and cries sometimes when we tell him he has to get back in bed until his clock turns green, he does seem to get it and we fight less about when it's ok for him to get up. He is also proud to tell people that "red means sleep, green means wake up!"The things I really like about his clock are: 1. Multiple colors and brightness options. Even on the brighter settings, the light is soft and doesn't wake our kid up when it changes to green. It's a nice nightlight brightness. 2. I like that there are so many programmable options. Sleep and wake times are up to you, you can turn the "play" setting on or off and adjust the duration on it (the first night we used this it defaulted on, and the "pale green" light looks pretty green if you didn't know the difference, so we didn't argue when our son was up 10 minutes before the time it was set to turn green but we turned this feature off after that). I like that you can turn on lights and sound or lights only. Also it's nice that the clock saves settings even when it is unplugged, relocated, and plugged back in. 3. The clock is a nice size and pretty sleek looking - not overly childish and goofy looking. I do like the face that changes from sleeping to winking during play mode, and smiling for wake up time. 4. I like that the buttons are on the bottom so it's not super tempting for kids to mess with, and the lock feature is great to further prevent tampering. 5. With all of the features and options (like an alarm setting), I can see this being useful long-term!Things that are just ok about this clock: 1. It has to be plugged in. Not a deal-breaker, but it would be nice if it functioned on a charge, especially for travel. 2. It's a little tedious to figure out the settings. I was confused the first night I set it up, I modified something after it was "sleep time", and the red light turned off. I had to re-set the sleep time to a few minutes in the future to get it to turn back on. I think it was just because if you "interrupt" the sleep feature, it will turn off until the next night. However, once we got it set to what we wanted, we haven't had to mess with it since and it has functioned perfectly.Overall, many more pros than cons, and I'm super happy that I chose this ok to wake clock!
