Review: OK to Wake! Alarm Clock and Nightlight

Courtesy of Onaroo by American Innovative

Sometimes it’s hard for early-rising toddlers to understand their parents need a few extra winks of sleep before starting their day. Now, thanks to the brand new OK to Wake! Alarm Clock and Nightlight ($30) from Onaroo by American Innovative that conversation just got a whole lot easier. Super cool and kid-friendly, it’s a great way to introduce the little ones to a daily routine.

Things we like: The initial set-up is a breeze. And programming the time is just as simple, consisting of just a few quick steps. Our favorite setting is the alarm. Once you choose a time, the entire clock will glow green each morning to let your child know it’s “OK to Wake!”.

The clock also features a handy nap timer and a yellow nightlight that turns on when you press the left toe button. Added bonus: When your kid’s a little older, this adorable device turns into a traditional alarm clock.

We love the fun and modern look, which will blend in nicely with any preschooler’s decor. It also comes with two faceplates — green bug or pink flower — so it can be customized for a boy or a girl.

Things we didn’t like: You have to check the batteries often because when they are running low, the display doesn’t shine as bright.

CBB Rating: A great, reliable product that might just net you an extra hour (or two) of sleep — for a little while at least!

I think I need this for myself! It doesn’t plug into the wall?

I’m happy to see this got a good review – I just ordered it for my 4-year-old last week and am expecting it to arrive any day!

We went with the Teach Me Time Talking Alarm Clock. Its $39, but comes with a AC adaptor, so no need for batteries.

We have the Teach Me Time clock also for our 4 year old. She used to come into our room at the crack of dawn, but now she stays put until her clock turns green. The clock is easy to use and fun to play with. The AC adapter works great. I love this product and recommend it for any parent who has an early bird and needs more z’s.
