 A cute nightlightJun 30, 2008
I bought the twilight turtle for my baby, to make his room more relaxed and for him to have something to look at on the walls & ceiling. So far, he's not impressed with it, but I think he'll like it more as he gets older. There are three shell colors to pick from- amber, blue and green. The green definately shows up the best on the walls & ceiling, followed by the blue and then amber. I never use the amber color because it is so dim you can hardly see any of the stars when you turn it on. The other problem I have with this is that there's really not a good enough spot in the room for the stars to show up without looking blurry. Unless you had a tall dresser or something right in the middle of the room, some of the stars are going to be kind of blurry, but that's just how it is. I do like how it will automatically shut off for you.
 Overpriced, disappointed in qualityJun 26, 2008
For what I paid, I'm really disappointed.
PROS
-light weight, no cords, can be placed anywhere with ease
-great idea for a night light
-enchanting when its placed just right (in middle of a small room set 5-6 feet up)
-self timer off at 45 minutes
CONS
-too expensive for the quality of the item
-cheaply made, and you cannot replace the light inside once the bulbs burn out (3 separate amber, blue and green bulbs - NOT led so they won't last too long)
-the constellations are very difficult to make out (I love astronomy and can identify stars very easily in the night sky) - these are ambiguous and badly placed and sized
-only some of the stars (a few directly above the turtle) show up on the wall as 'star' shaped - the other half look like Star Trek Federation symbols, those triangular things, or like blobs
-impractical to place - if you place it on furniture along the walls of a room ie. on the dresser or on top of a shelf, you get a cluster of tiny stars against the nearby wall and loose fuzzy big stars on half the ceiling, and none on the other wall (in a room 12x14)
Save your money and get some other machine / light to make constellations. I may try to get my money back based on the poor quality. A shame since its such a great idea.
 Lots of FunJun 26, 2008
I love this turtle! The babies like looking at the ceiling when I click it on and it makes those 3am feedings more entertaining for me! I can't wait until the kids get older and we can figure out the constelltions together. I sent this to my neices and nephews I liked it so much.
Simple, fantastic addition to the nurseryJun 17, 2008
This is a fantastic product that was loved by everyone at our baby shower and, most importantly, by our new daughter. At only 5 days old, she already calms and stops fussing when the twilight turtle is turned on. I would absolutely buy this again for myself or for a friend!
 The leads simply stopped illuminating!!!Jun 14, 2008
I bought this last year when I was expecting my daughter. It was the very first thing we bought for her cuz it seemed so very cute. Once she was born we placed it in her room, to use while she nursed at night. It was great while it lasted. My daughter wasn't even five months old when the lights stopped working. We changed the batteries, thinking that could be the problem but nope... the lights are still dead... We barely got to enjoy it for a few months, fifteen minutes each night....
Returning it woudn't even be an option since we live so far (south america) and would have to pay for the shipping to our PO box in Miami!!!
UPDATE: I wrote to the Cloud B Costumer service, not expecting a refund or an exchange, but only to see if they could suggest a way to fix the products flaw. Their answer was: "Unfortunately, we cannot do anything on this particular problem as this item is well beyond our warranty period." Hope they could be a little more helpful. Very disapointed.
