LittleHippoMella Ready to Rise Children's Trainer, Alarm Clock, Night Light and Sleep Sounds Machine (Blush Pink)…

Mella is fantastic, my daughter loves it, it does what it needs too brilliantly.There are a few things to improve upon in my opinion, such as using the top button to restart night light and music, would be brilliant.What it does well; in short, everything it needs too. The music settings while limited do the job.The night light is great.Changing functions is easy to do and get set up.The best part though is the sleep timer and mellas ‘face’ the colours to help know when to get up are great as is also assisting to help read the time. The face its self provides a fun interaction for my daughter. Over all fantastic product that could (with a few tweaks) easily become the best of its kind on the market.Thank you - a well rested parent

Great selection of functions. You can set the time, three sound options for an alarm, colours for wake up time and an interim colour for nearly wake up time, you can set a night light colour for bed time. There is also a nap time function and a sound function that I think has white noise or a melody. Seems to be everything you need in a kids first alarm clock, would recommend. I have two, one for my 3 year old and one for my 4 year old. Easy for them to turn off the alarm, they just push down on the top of the alarm clock for 2 seconds

The media could not be loaded. Got this for my 4yr old to mainly help with staying in bed / bedroom after waking early in the mornings.Setup is easy enough, takes a small amount of time to go through the various settings to set your desired settings.Not currently using the alarm option, just the wake-up light. Using the sounds and nightlight at bedtime.Very cute looking with the digital face, great excitement when the eyes blink after another minute has passed on the clock. My daughter loves the night light colour options and the wave sound. 3 brightness levels on the nightlight are good as depending on colour choosen it can be quite bright. The speaker sound could be better quality, is a bit tinny.Would be great if the Red nightlight came on automatically with the sleep time setting as another visual que for children to know it's bedtime.Would also be great to have weekday and weekend setting option.Would also be great to have the option to add personal custom sleep and alarm sounds by recording directly to the device.Overall very happy with the clock and its features. Feels quite solid and well made, nice design, good clear simple graphics on face. It is keeping my daughter in her bed/room as desired in the mornings. Will be able to use it as a full clock / alarm clock as she gets older and learns to tell the time. Would benefit from a longer power cable.

Overall, this is a good product - well enough designed, aesthetically pleasant, and fairly easy to set up and use.The only problem that we encountered is that my daughter didn't like the face! We solved this by putting a strip of black electrical tape over it. However, the colour system was great and helps her to understand when it's appropriate to stay in bed and when not.That said, this could have been such a better product. Some suggestions for future development, based on our usage so far:* Menu option to disable the face!* Ideally, be able to swap the face with a larger clock, and use the mini-clock for something else. This would also let you use it as a 'normal' clock in the future, when the kids are older.* Auto-nightlight timer, instead of having to manually switch it on. We use red for the nightlight, so it's "red" for staying in bed, "yellow" for not long now, and "green" for ok to get up.* Customise yellow time and duration from its default 30min setting* Ability for end-user to update firmware with future features, possibly by adding a USB OTG port

This is the second time I’ve purchased this clock. One for each of my daughters. They love it and I love it! It gives them the responsibility to know when they can get out of bed to play quietly in their room (yellow) and when they can come through to us (green). They also love that it sleeps at their bedtime too. It’s been perfect for stopping early morning wake ups! Also, when I had an issue with the first clock (years after warranty) I got in touch with support for advice and they were excellent. First class. I am so so impressed with this brand, I’ll be recommending it to everyone.

Bought this a year ago. My partner tried to set it up and couldn’t get it to work. We left it in a cupboard for over a year. I’ve just tried to set it up and it doesn’t work. The SET button does nothing except change the brightness of the screen. We can’t set the time or anything. Useless.

Easy to use and set up. 3yr old likes the clock and face. Though could be some improvements and one aspect where I feel I have been misguided. I would say the sales collateral makes it seem a red light can be set to come on and highlight to the child that it is time to sleep. I really liked this as if my dc old woke up during the night the light would clearly let them know it was time to sleep. This does not happen. The red light is a manual night light.The surrounding light is very bright. I’m unsure atm if the automatic pre-set orange ‘play time’ light is actually waking my dc! It should be possible to reduce the brightness of this light. Much much cheaper night lights can do this.It would be useful if you could remove or reduce the time of the play timer. With him just being 3 the extra stage is confusing him and he doesn’t like playing alone at the moment.It’s a good quality light and my dc really likes his clock Mella. Though currently the issues are above are a pain. Not sure if I would buy again but we will persevere for a bit longer.
