Tommee Tippee Groclock, Interactive Sleep Trainer and Children's Alarm Clock, Ollie Owl, from 2 Years Old

Product Information

As your child gets older, parents can choose to set the optional audible alarm – perfect for routine wake-up times. Place Ollie where your baby can see and hear him and where he can listen in CrySensor mode. Toys should not be placed on the mattress inside a sleeping baby’s cot so use Ollie’s Velcro loop to attach him to the cot or place him on furniture nearby.

The first factor that you can look at is the brand. Often we can get a really good understanding of the quality of toys and other gadgets by just looking at the brand. There are some brands that are really well known for great quality, whilst others might be better known for value.(and some are known to be poor in both areas). Ollie is a surface wash only toy due to his electrical components. Please do not put him in the washing machine or tumble dryer. Just wipe him over with a damp cloth. Do not use any chemicals as it may affect the fabrics or transfer to your child’s environment.

Next, place a suitable container under the dispenser. Refit the water hopper and fill it with one litre of boiling water. The water light will extinguish, and the temperature light will illuminate. More information on quality can be found in this old but still very helpful article from Harvard Business Review. No, healthcare professionals recommend you keep your baby’s cot clear with no bumpers, toys or pillows. Ollie has a secure hanging loop which means he can be hung on the outside of the cot. You can’t beat a video review. As we mentioned earlier, one of the downsides to buying online is the inability to actually see and test the product. This is where videos can really help to bridge the gap and give you an almost just as good alternative.

Begin the cleaning cycle by pressing the cleaning button on the side of the unit for two seconds. The cleaning light will illuminate on the front of the unit and hot water will now dispense into the container (do not leave it un-attended at any time). Once the water hopper is empty, the unit will beep and the water light will again illuminate. Squeezing Ollie’s right foot will turn on lights in his tummy with the option of four levels of brightness. Squeezing his left foot changes the volume of sounds and music and activates it in silent mode.

Ollie the Owl has switches in his wings and feet which allow you to choose different settings. When we describe these settings we use left and right from Ollie’s point of view, not as you look at him.

There are four light levels including no light, all of which can be activated via Ollie’s right foot. If three hours passes without Ollie hearing your child stir, the CrySensor will automatically turn off. You can use the master power switch to turn Ollie off completely.

Of course, one downside to buying online is that you aren’t able to see the product in-person. But there are many ways to help you determine a product’s quality without seeing it.

The Heartbeat and Rainfall sounds are activated from Ollie’s left wing but do not have the CrySensor facility.
