Best Night Light for Toddlers

Some young babies – and some toddlers and even older children, really do not like the dark. In fact, some are afraid of it. This is perfectly natural and is likely an evolution-based normal response. As a parent, you might find frequent trips to your child’s room to comfort them in the middle of the night. When you stop breastfeeding (if that’s what you choose) this can unsettle, it’s a difficult transition as your child has grown accustomed to feeds. That’s why in this article we are looking at the best nightlight for toddlers.

Good sleep is necessary for a baby’s development and for toddlers and kids too. Of, course you as a parent need your sleep as well. Severe sleep deprivation is a very serious problem for some parents and it can lead to parents’ irritableness, loss of concentration and even ill-health. That’s not good news for you and not good news for your child either who will pick up on your bad or testy mood if it is frequent and especially if it is severe. That can have all kinds of psychological implications for them. Children of all ages need unconditional love and also need to feel that they and their parents are safe and happy.

What’s more, poor sleeping or the low quality of sleep for your baby or young child will directly impact many physical aspects of a kid’s life. This includes brain development, ability to resist diseases, height and so on – and the longer-term implications include school performance, ability to problem solve and even behavior. A beautiful night’s sleep has many benefits.

So, that’s a long way of saying a simple truth: If you want to raise a physically and emotionally healthy child, you need to make your kid go to bed on time to have a full sleep. Plus, you need your sleep too.

So, let us get right to it and suggest 3 top night light for kids and later we’ll look at a further 6 contenders for the best night light for toddlers

Just one more thing – we like kids lamps and think they are great for the bedroom – these top-rated toddler night lights are efficient and fun.

OK, that’s our top 3 toddler night lights. Now let us look at what we think is important for choosing the right model for your

Buying Criteria for a night light for kids

Other than safety, which should be a given, here in no particular order are some things to look out for in a kids night light

1. Comes with timer clock

If you don’t have a clock in the nightlight then you might need to go back in and switch off. That’s a drag if you are just dozing off yourself. If it’s a shared room (for example with a bunk) then it’s a hassle too for the other kid in the room.

2. Portable Powered

You could get a mains powered model but generally speaking, a rechargeable (or battery) model is best as your toddler and mains cables aren’t a good combination in their room. Rechargeable batteries these days are pretty good.

3. Plenty of controls

It might sound like stating the obvious but you might need a dimmer for the light (to find the right level for your baby or toddler) and a variable volume control (you don’t want to hear that singing too loud).

4. LED Lamp

A lamp with LEDs will work longer than an ordinary bulb lamp and also won’t heat up, and therefore protects the child from burns.

5. Simplicity

Mothercare doesn’t sell AI Nannies yet and you don’t want to buy something too complex. Remember you might be setting this up late at night while drowsy and after a long day of work and/or parenting.

It’s always important to remember when buying for babies, toddlers and young children generally that they really don’t care about many things that adults care about. They don’t care if something is stylish or not. They don’t care if something is cheap or expensive either.

What’s more, it’s important to keep in mind what you are trying to do, which is to get your child a good night’s rest. It’s sometimes a combination of light and sound or light and movement that will do the trick. Each child is an individual and each child will respond in a unique way.

Now that’s our criteria done. Let’s look at our top 3 in more detail and six more candidates for the best nightlight for toddlers

Best Nightlights for Toddlers



1. Hugmo Cute Puppy

Best for the bedside or in the bed


Kids of all ages are programmed to like baby faces on other babies or animals – that wide-eyed look that most baby mammals have goes down very well. The designers at Hugmo have channeled that nicely and you get a gorgeous night light that looks really appealing and has a calming light show. What sets this so high on our list is that you are 100% in control of the audio as you can play any music or speech you like to your child via your Smartphone and Bluetooth (or form other Bluetooth sources).

This makes it really suited for different age groups from babies, through toddlers and right up to younger children. You could, for example, have nature sounds effects, waves, birdsong, heartbeats, or the sound of your car (which can put kids to sleep – if you don’t know that trick try it out). You can also have messages from grandparents, storytimes etc. – in fact practically anything that appeals to your child.

You also get a nice cool or warm look changing light, in a unit that older kids can carry around too. It’s a dual power rechargeable unit that will go roughly three nights before you need to plug it in (it’s a USB connector) or you can run it off of conventional batteries. Finally, it has a neat sound to light function too, so have a mini disco at night time. Finally, it has a sleep off timer mode, just to have that covered when you fall asleep too.

A well-deserved candidate or best night light for toddlers.

Pros:
  • Unlimited choice of sounds
  • Fun sound to light
  • Cool and soft to the touch
Cons:
  • Some people prefer a starfield projection etc. – this is just a light

Verdict: Why limit the sound choices you have when you can have any sound you want with the Hugmo?

2. Eddie The Elephant by Summer Slumber

Best for sheer fun


What can we say about Eddie the Elephant? He is adorable, lights up your child’s ceiling with stars, plays soothing and sleep-inducing music and he is soft enough to be hugged (although you would not put it in a crib – but it’s OK for a 3-year-old, whose owners report still use theirs).

If that’s not enough for you, you can set volume, set a timer 15,30, or 45 minutes and make the colors shift over time on a cycle between red, green and blue. For older kids colors, sound and volume can be changed by themselves using buttons located in a row above Eddie the Elephants tail

It takes AA batteries which should last a month or so and don’t forget you can buy rechargeable AA batteries these days for not very much.

Pros:
  • Designed to look like a friendly and happy toy that might last several years with a child
  • Has some personality – so more of a possession that a simple light
  • Plenty of adjustments
Cons:
  • No dimmer on the light

Verdict: You’d have to be pretty hard-hearted not to be charmed by Eddie the Elephant.

Best for the very young


The mini Tudo mobile really is like a swiss army knife for putting toddlers to sleep. They can watch the light show, they can listen to music, they can also watch the mobile figures move and once they can reach they can play with the mobile figures too. So, they can relax or play until they relax. Young kids don’t realize they are getting tired and they just get grumpy and eventually overtired. So, they need gentle stimulation.

To make sure you don’t get bored and grumpy, unlike the single – tune musical toys of yesteryear, there are 108 tunes. You also get a choice of red, green, or blue light for your toddler’s show and you get a mini motor to spin the mobile – all under remote control.

It does not have a luxury look, but your toddler won’t mind that one bit and it gets the job done

  • Neat remote-control feature
  • Baby can watch and listen (and as they get a bit older, learn to pull or play with the toys)
  • Nice light show
  • Good music
  • Battery-powered rotation

Surf contains a lot of white noise – random sound – which is believed to be also attuned by babies’ ears while in the womb.
