" ... Super cute and fun for kids to carry around ... "
" ... Four year old loves the light. ... "
" ... I like it anyways, and our toddler likes it too. ... "
" ... My daughter adores this one! ... "
" ... Perfect for our 3 and 2 year olds. ... Don't have to worry about replacing the battery (almost a year without needing a change after daily use) and the light keeping the kids awake. ... We just ordered a second one so both kids could have one at night. ... "
" ... Our two year old loves these! ... "
" ... Wish there was a better more kid friendly switch so when they're scared or want to come down to mommy and daddy's room they could easily turn on their light to help them. ... "
" ... We have three of these one for each of my smaller children my two girls go to bed with them and it's more like an added security thing for them would definitely recommend ... "

" ... The only downfall is that the button can be hard to find in the dark. ... "
" ... In the dark the button can be confused with the pegs it sits on (pictured). ... "
" ... The on button is too small and hard to find when it's dark and you are tired. ... "

" ... Tried pressing buttons and it just wouldn’t turn of. ... "
" ... When we first received this, we found that the on/off button wasn't always reliable. ... Sometimes just a quick press didn't work and you had to hold down the button for the light to turn on/off. ... He's had trouble finding the button at night in the past as well. ... "
" ... The only concern so far is the button is small so I struggle to find it in the dark as you can't just feel for it. ... "
