![]() I would prefer the ability to play music only, since there are times when I want my little one to fall asleep instead of being potentially stimulated by the lights. There is no way to play the music without the light show. The buttons are laid out well so you can hit the appropriate button in the dark. To operate the Tranquil Turtle, you hit one button to start the light show, then a second button to start the music. Another wish is that the wave sound be synchronized to the movement of the lights…but this is probably asking too much. But I don’t think a little one will notice. One criticism is that the mechanism that pivots the light is not very smooth, which means that the light “jumps.” This makes the rippling water “jump” as well-kind of like watching a YouTube video that is loading too slowly and skipping from scene to scene. At first I wasn’t sure if my little one would notice the light show, but quickly found that he certainly does like to stare at it. (And when you’re not tired, the projection could make a really neat party light!) If you have a hard time dragging your little one to bed, the light show could be a nice incentive to get him or her to actually want to go to bed. It is so cool that sometimes I lie down and watch the lights too! As a busy and tired parent, those opportunities to relax alongside my baby are really nice. ![]() It’s a neat effect that really makes it feel like you are underwater, looking up as the sunlight moves through gently rippling water. The shell is textured and has a moving plastic piece sealed inside, so that when light passes through it, a wavy, moving blue light is projected onto the ceiling. A button turns on lights inside the translucent shell. ![]() There are many products that produce white noise and music, but the combination with a light show is what sets this product apart. Volume control is always a huge plus in any toy! Volume is controlled by two buttons (up and down) and the volume range is sufficient. I use the wave sound the most, since white noise seems to work best on my six-month-old. The Turtle produces a “white noise” sound of gently crashing waves and also a marine-themed melody. It comes with a pamphlet serves as an adoption certificate, illustrated storybook, and endangered sea animals guide. The marine theme is also more appropriate than stars for a turtle. The new Tranquil Turtle is a logical next step…it not only projects a very cool, calming, moving “underwater” light show onto the ceiling, but also produces two soothing sounds to help little ones fall and stay asleep. Their previous turtle (the “Twilight Turtle”) projects fun stars onto the ceiling, but the stars don’t move and the turtle doesn’t produce sound. The Tranquil Turtle is the newest turtle produced by Cloud b. As a satisfied owner of Cloud b’s Sleep Sheep white noise machine, I was excited to try their new addition-the Tranquil Turtle.
