Pros

  • ProHas a nightlight and sleep sounds
  • ProBuilt-in nap timer
  • ProChild-safe construction

Cons

  • ConPricey

This alarm clock earned our top pick because not only will it help sleep-train your toddlers, but it'll last them for several years thereafter. Beautiful colors and fun facial expressions help them learn when it's time to get out of bed in the morning, while three different alarm sounds and a silent countdown for timed activities are perfect for older children. It also includes sleep sounds, such as white noise, the ocean, and lullaby.

Pros

  • ProCustomizable
  • ProSoother mode with calming sounds
  • ProKid-friendly with fun design and lights

Getting your little ones to stay in bed in the morning (so you can get your eight hours!) is a challenge, but that's where this little guy, that functions as a sleep-trainer, comes in. Parents can choose the wake up time and brightness, and the colors will change and increase in brightness when it's OK for them to get out of bed. Bonus? It's totally adorable.
