Zazu Kids Sam Sleep Trainer Alarm Clock and Night Light - Blue Sheep Toy

I purchased this clock as a night light and alarm clock for my 5 year old daughter.It is very well made and I found the instructions to be very simple, not intuitive though, but very easy.The clock is great for little ones learning to tell time since it has a digital analogue clock as well as a number respresentsti0n of the time in the center. Very easy to read.I was a little disappointed you had to manually put the lamb to sleep. I would have loved to see it close its eyes and snore!The night light functions are great, it offers different time intervals for the light to be on or a continuous mode where the light is on all the time. It has a dimmer and it is easy to adjust the right brightness preference. I like that you may touch the 'dial' and the light goes on even if you have the night light features off, so you may see time in the dark whenever you need to.The alarm features have three cute tones, one is a sheep, another are birds and the last more of a typical alarm sound. You are also able to ajust for volume preferences. The eyes open and you are able to set how long after you would like the alarm to go off or at the same time.All the controls have a lock to prevent little hands from changing the setting. Good feature!Over all, this is a very cute clock that will wake you up with a smile on your face!

I'm glad I bought this and don't regret it at all. My 4 year old loves it and still is learning that when the sheep wakes up she can wake us up.The only thing is it didn't come with any instructions. I had to look up the video instructions on YouTube and watch them several times tip understand how to operate it.Otherwise, this is a cute alarm clock and sleep training clock.

This clock was amazing at first. My boys could look at it and know when it was ok to wake up. I think the “almost time to wake up” was hard for them because they are two little to be able to keep their voices down and talk quietly for that half hour. We had been using it successfully for 7 months and then it started going haywire and turning green at random times and red in the middle of the day. It’s caused a lot of confusion and a loss of precious sleep. They’ll wake up in the middle of the night and think it’s time to get up. I hate buying plastic crap but that’s apparently what this clock is now. I’m happy to modify this review if Zazu will help us fix this broken clock.

Worked great, but the AC adapter died after only 4 months of use. Found my 3yo son still in his room at 8:30am, refusing to come out because his sheep's eyes were still closed. Turns out it had died in the middle of the night - the AC adapter stopped working. I fixed this by inserting batteries, and so far the batteries have lasted nearly a month without needing to be replaced, but I shouldn't have needed to put batteries in in the first place. The battery function is advertised as being for travel or as a backup power source in case of an outage.Other reviewers are complaining that the clock is hard to set up. That is by design... Make it easy enough, and your kid will soon be punching buttons and messing up your careful programming. As soon as I learned the function of the arrow combinations and had my nap time length and wake up time set, it is a simple two-step process to put the sheep to sleep for either nap time or bedtime.As far as how well it works? Magic. We were expecting baby number 2 and wanted something to keep my three year old from getting out of bed too early or taking ridiculously short naps. It is so amazing how having an external reminder to stay in bed works so well! He doesn't nap often these days, but because of this clock he still gives me 90 minutes of quiet time a day and THAT is priceless.

I am very satisfied with this product. My little one adores it! She now stays longer in bed, to any preferable time I set up. This sleep trainer is recommendable for any parents that have early risers.Sam can help you explain the grown-up idea of time to your child by showing them in a very easy way when her parents will be happy to see them and when they better stay in bed a little longer!As simple as it is, Sam the sheep closes and opens his eyes, when going to bed and waking up. Easy to understand for children who are too young to tell the time. Teaching my child this routine, she adapted to this very easily. And by having an analogue and digital time display makes Sam a great tool for teaching the time too!I needed to study the instructions a bit setting up Sam for the first time and with some help of several YouTube videos I soon got the hang of it.It is also fairly robust. It has twice been heavily dropped and stopped working but taking out the batteries rebooted it and got it going again.Sam is still running on batteries after three weeks. I adjust the brightness to level one to extend the battery lifespan.Highly recommended!

Love it. Has really put an end to early waking and post bedtime wandering since my daughter has to be in bed as long as the sheep's asleep (if some extenuating circumstance, like sickness or overflowing diapers, requires me to take the youngest out of bed, I wake up the sheep first to keep things consistent). My kids have really grown fond of it, to the point where I have to kiss it goodnight some nights. It did take a few minutes to discern the instructions, but it was simple to do once I understood which function they were talking about. Also, because my daughter is a bit young to understand the concept (two years old), it took about five weeks of consistent reinforcement before she got the idea. Even now, I try to keep my expectations of her interactions with the sheep in line with her age and demonstrated sleep needs to maintain long term success. Overall, the sheep is cute and well made. Haven't used the battery function much, so can't speak to that. Only minor complaints are that the green LEDs for the last half hour before wake are too bright even when turned ask the way down and that the countdown function isn't big enough for my little one to see from her bed, making it harder for her to wait.
