4.0 out of 5 stars My Daughter Simply Loves It... July 18, 2012

By OutlawPoet VINE™ VOICE

Like most of you parents, my daughter and I have seen the Dream Lite commercial on Sprout. And she wanted nothing more than a Dream Lite of her very own. However, I'm dubious of most items advertised on TV - especially those directed toward children. It seems like they are never as colorful, as bright, as cuddly as they seem on the commercials. And given the price of this item, I had to give it some serious thought.

Well, the Dream Lite was delivered today and tonight, she's sleeping soundly, her Dream Lite by her side - and she didn't stop smiling all evening. Obviously, she loves it.

Mom's point of view:

1) I was a bit dismayed by how long I was told it would take to ship. However, it came days earlier than they said it would.

2) Size - like some of the other reviewers, I can tell you that the size is a shock! They must have chosen very small children for that commercial, because these are tiny. I anticipated something the size of a normal pillow pet. To be fair, the product description says it's only 11 inches. However when you watch the commercial, these seem huge. Prepare your child for the actual size.

3) Brightness - in a darkened room, the colors are very bright and vibrant. It actually looks as vivid as it does on the commercial. No disappointment here at all! In the case of the brightness and how great the stars look, the commercial is absolutely accurate. And the bigger the room, the bigger the stars. It's really quite impressive.

4) Cuddliness - at first you might think that the plastic panel on the back would be too hard for a good cuddle. My daughter would disagree. Definitely cuddle-worthy!

5) Price - I still think it's overpriced. While I don't regret the purchase, it's one for a special gift - birthday or Christmas. As an everyday buy, it's pricey.

6) Improvements - I would love this to have soft music or nature sounds, but that's just a personal preference. :-)

All in all, though I still wince at the price, I'm glad I made the purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what you would expect June 18, 2012

By ninhalo5

This review is on the product itself not the seller.
My kids seen this on TV and were insistent on wanting one so I ordered 2 dreamlites from the dream lite website.
They look nice, soft and cuddly but are not. The top where the lights come out in the images look to be made of the same material as the rest of the pillow pet but in reality it is a hard piece of plastic covering 80% of the top. You cannot cuddle these in any way. They are only a $40 + shipping nite-light I Spent $103.00 for 2 nite-lights. The pillow pets are only around 11" and are pretty much the same size as an iPad, just a little wider when opened up. The light itself is not very bright but cast a subtle glow on the ceiling, close to what is advertised. I was surprised that the stars actually projected and they cover most of the ceiling.
It's a cute product but be aware it's only a nite-light that like the all others are meant to be turned on and left alone. I would say in reality these things might be worth about $15 and I would honestly wait till Wal-mart starts selling them to avoid the shipping and processing fees.
The commercial on TV leads you to believe these are actually pillow pets that can be cuddled and played with (even though they really don't show that, the presentation has you thinking it instead). So now knowing what your getting and if want to spent that type of money for a nite-light you'll be happy with your purchase.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dream Lites does not back their product for failing September 5, 2012

By Mindy

Durability: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I purchased a Dream Lite for my 2 year old. After nearly 2 months of use (approximately 15 minutes a night), the Dream Lite started to fade excessively so that it could hardly be seen on the ceiling. I assumed the batteries were dead and so I got new ones. Not only did the new ones not work, but one of color bulbs stopped working entirely. I called the Dream Lites customer service line and they told me that even though I only used it for less than 60 days, their records show that they shipped it to me 75 days ago and they won't cover any malfunctions if over the 60 day period. For $50, I think it should work for more than 2 months. Do yourself a favor and buy the alternative brand that they sell at Babies R Us instead to ensure that you can take it back if it doesn't work.
