There are positives; lights and stars are fun for children, the cute shape and pretty colors. The negatives take over, alas. No readability of buttons; or use is selected for children; a large prominent button to stop the alarm, would still be more logical! Can not adjust the volume, the sound is really very very strong, it is a bit brutal to wake up just as a musical model is chosen! As I feared, the alarm only works with batteries - which was not specified - and without discharge indicator, so the day when the batteries are empty ... you will not wake up. The instruction is in English and Japanese. I understand that there was a display option in twelve hours (eg. 1am) or twenty-four hours (Ex .: 13h am), impossible to display 24 following the instructions or else it does not exist. The flap of the battery compartment does not hold. Especially not to lose the form, the programming is still a bit complicated. In short, I do not recommend. I had an urgent need for my daughter, but as soon as I find better, I sold off. Certainly, there must be the price.
