Very Happy! 
2008-07-12
I purchased the twilight turtle several years ago for my daughter and now the twilight ladybug for my son. Both are great. I noted that a couple of the reviewers thought the lights weren't bright enough. My advice - be sure your batteries are good. When they start to run out of juice the stars become very dim to the point that only the shell is lit up.
Secondly, several reviewers have complained that it doesn't do more (i.e. play music and spin). To this, I say "Geez, shall it also forward email, receive phone messages, and send faxes to your boss?" The idea with this product is that children can lay it on their beds, its soft and snuggly, and not easily broken. It's simple and more than functional...its beautiful.
As a final perk, my daughter is now old enough that we really enjoy finding the constellations together. It's a great product.
Ladybug saved our marriage!!! 2008-07-02
When our almost-three-year-old daughter suddenly began refusing to go to sleep unless one of us stayed in her room, we tried everything. We let her "cry it out" - only one night, because she sobbed and screamed for over an hour before we finally gave in. So one of us stayed in the room with her until she fell asleep, every night. Sometimes we would be in there until 11pm. (She goes to bed at 9:30). Which meant, absolutely no "together time" for us as a couple. We thought it was a stage, just a few nights. Over a month later, we were frantic. We consulted our pediatrician, who gave a few tips, including "get some stars", but mostly said "She'll grow out of it. . . eventually!"
I ordered this ladybug after reading the reviews and waited impatiently the four days until it arrived. When I took it out of the package, she went nuts. She wouldn't let go of it. She carried it around with her everywhere. She sat it next to her on the couch so it could watch tv with her and narrated the storyline to it. When, a couple of hours later, I finally found the tiny screwdriver so I could put batteries in it and show her it actually LIT UP she was ecstatic. I have literally never seen her so excited over a toy.
I explained that Ladybug would now be staying with her instead of Mommy and Papa at night. She said she understood. Still, there was a bit of a struggle when it actually came time for us to leave. But she did let us leave. And since then (we've had it over 2 weeks) she is willing to sleep by herself every night, as long as Ladybug is right beside her. She loves to click the buttons to change the colors while she drifts off. But mostly she likes the red glow.
I realize every child is different, and what works for one might not for another, but this toy saved us. Worth every penny.
Twilight Ladybug 2008-06-26
I am very pleased with the Twilight Ladybug, My 2 1/2 year old daughter just loves falling asleep with it on! I also Love that it has an automatic shut off after 45 mins!
Great product! 2008-06-23
I ordered this ladybug for my 4-year-old daughter who is afraid of the dark. I wanted something to give a little light in her room, but not so bright that she wouldn't be able to sleep. This night light is perfect. The stars give just enough light, and the timer is great. We keep the light on as she falls asleep, and then it turns off automatically after 45 minutes. We love this nightlight!
Outstanding Gift Idea 2008-06-05
I bought this for my daughter when she was 9 months old. She automatically loved it. She likes the blue color the best and waits for it to be turned on at bedtime. She now points to the moon when she sees it in the sky. Wow! I have since bought 2 more for baby shower gifts along with nighttime books, lotion and cap w/gown. I highly recommend this for any age child!
Love The Lady Bug! 2008-07-19
I bought this for my 3 yr. old daughter and it was a hit! When it first arrived, it was during the day and not dark enough to see the stars. We took it into our bathroom and spent half the day in there looking at the stars! I recommend this to any one with little ones, and especially if they love the moon and stars. It would really help babies and toddlers who are having sleep issues. They could learn to enjoy bedtime w/ this product.
Love this! 2008-07-19
My 2 year old loves this light up ladybug. We used it as an addition to her "big girl" room and she thinks it's great. My husband wonders why we don't have one in our room too! The red light really doesn't project stars on the ceiling, but is good as a night light. The blue and green stars show up really well in her room. I think this was a great purchase and well worth the money!
Great bedtime friend 2008-07-18
We and our daughter love this. She actually takes it to bed with her, it is super soft like a stuft animal with the hard shell on top and she just loves to take it to bed and push all the buttons and change the colors.
The only problem we have with it (which really isn't a problem for a 3 year old) is that it must be centered in the room and fairly close to the ceiling to actually see the stars perfectly on the ceiling. The only thing we have tall enough is the hutch on the dresser and it is to the side of the room so it gets cramed over there. When she takes it to bed, it sprawls the stars largely all over the walls, etc. Not a big deal, but does take away from the "celestial learning".
Great product for kids

We purchased the turtle a couple of years back and my daughter always wanted the color red to illuminate her room, (the turtle has yellow, green and blue lights). We have recently purchased the twilight ladybug and while it has red, our elder child still sticks with the color blue when she borrows her sister's ladybug. The constellations on the ladybug are a lot larger than those on the twilight turtle, and while our infant is too young to understand, I think she'll love it as much as her sister. The power on/off button on the shell is a good improvement from the turtle, whose power off option is hidden on the underside of the turtle instead of conveniently on the shell.
A great buy.
cute night light 2008-07-15
very cute product.. lights up my baby's entire room with stars (but not too bright!) auto- shut off after 45 mins is a nice feature. i thought it would cycle through the different colors (red, green and blue) automatically but its just the 3 manual settings.
