5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the busy mom! November 11, 2009

When I first saw this item honestly I laughed however a week later I ended up purchasing it. As a mother of four very young children I have a tendency of putting children in time out but getting distracted by life. As a result two things happen: One my toddler will sneak out and I don't realize it till much later or Two they end up in time way too long. This pad solved both problems, it alerts me if my toddler tries to escape and it sings a fun song when time out is over so that I can talk with my children.

One piece of advice thought. Your child may find this fun at first, mine did, therefore I made sure to explain what it was for and did not allow them to play with it. The novelty of it when it first arrived soon dissipated and they now do not want to be on the time out pad.

4.0 out of 5 stars It helps December 22, 2009

He gets off and on it, really trying to prod us to react to the alarm when he gets off, but my goal with time-outs is to get him to calm down and stop the previous behaviour so it works well for that. You can move it from 1 to 5 minutes with a coin to turn the dial, so the child can't really change it. He also occasionally tries to move it around. When we first got it he would turn it on for fun, and one bonus is if no weight sits on it after it's been started it will just give a little tune and turn back off after a minute or so without the annoying alarm going off.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for a toddler March 7, 2009

By Mommy of two

This time out pad is perfect for a toddler who has no concept of time. This pad provides visual and auditory signals. It is also really great for ADHD kiddos.
