First, let me say, that I bought this early, as I have a newborn (3 months old), but at some point my daughter will be old enough to sleep in her own room, and as most kids do, she will want a nite-light.
Well, I was skeptical at first, but this thing really does produce a cool looking and relaxing night sky on the ceiling. Say goodbye to those lame, glow-in-the dark stars that you put on the ceiling of your kids' rooms...you know, the ones that never really hold the glow. This thing projects a beautiful sky, and in 3 different colors (although they claim the red is mostly for the nite-light usage).
The quality is really nice, although the buttons for the lights could be designed a bit better...they are hard plastic, whereas a more traditional rubber coating would have been a bit more comfortable.
Pretty much the only reason I didn't give this thing 5 stars, is because it would have been perfect if it had offered a music function, and maybe a bit of movement or twinkle in the stars. Then it would have gotten 5 stars from me hands-down.
But, as it is, it is the BEST nite-light product I have found, and I don't think it is only for young children, as the sky looks cool even to an adult...very relaxing.
Bottom line...this is a no-brainer purchase whether you have kids or not.
BUY IT.

The Grandparents sent this to our 2 yr old son. The first one did not work when we received it. We had to send back at our cost and they re-sent us one which worked. You have to put it close to the ceiling and in the middle of the room for the stars to look like anything recognizable. Who normally places a tall piece of furniture right in the middle of your child's room?? It has a constellation chart, which is useless, because the stars are blurry and distorted in arrangement. The colors don't change automatically and it seems to be more of a distraction to my son's falling asleep than anything. When I saw the list price for this in an airline magazine, I was astounded. I wouldn't pay more than $10 for this cheap novelty item.

We love this! I am considering getting a "back up." Our 4 month old baby was totally entranced by the stars! It is terrific! Such a cute little turtle too. The stars are very soothing. The blue is easiest to see at first, but after your eyes adjust to the darkness, the blue and green are too bright and the amber is the perfect "glow." I used it for late night nursing and it was the perfect amount of light. We have 10' ceilings and the stars show up extremely well. They are "five pointed" stars -- not various sized dots like I expected but still enchanting.
Edit: now at 13 months, still used every night! A beloved toy for our now toddler and I love it to! If it seems dim, it just needs a new battery or time for my eyes to adjust.

I purchased this for my kids to share (18m and 4 years) and have decided now I have to order the turtle as well. It is so nice and soothing, I honestly wish I'd gotten it much earlier... love it.
The best night light for kids of all ages. December 6, 2005

This is a must have, no doubt about it. Makes the perfect shower or birthday gift. The stars really project onto the ceiling at night and you can choose from 3 shades, purple/blue, green or white. It automatically shuts off so the batteries don't drain all night. I was skeptical at first, now everyone who see's it wants one.
