Do you guys remember when I posted about the Mobi GloMate? Cute nightlight and awesome toy. A little recap: it glows in different colors, it’s portable and rechargeable, lasts for ~10 hours, and it slowly dims over 15 minutes for nap/bedtime. Ryan LOVES this thing. It became the #1 toy in our house about a year ago (when Ryan was around 1.5 years old) as we used it for many, many (MANY) games of hide-and-seek. It became Ryan’s buddy even when it wasn’t charged and didn’t light up, haha.
Now? We have a new favorite. The AnimaLamp, also by Mobi. Don’t get me wrong, the GloMate is still awesome and it’s still around. But why do I like the AnimaLamp even more?
It’s the perfect light. We had been on the search for a suitable nightlight–one that wasn’t bright enough to keep Ryan awake and distracted, but also wasn’t so dim that it was pointless. Ryan loves to read books in bed before falling asleep… his lamp keeps him awake, but we can’t read in darkness! We resorted to using our cell phones for a little bit of light, but then he just wanted to play with our phones! haha.
The AnimaLamp has LED lights with adjustable brightness and a rechargeable battery so you can take this thing wherever you want. It stands on its own on a dresser or can sit in bed with you for nighttime stories.
Since the top of the AnimaLamp (the animal’s face) actually moves up and down, we hang ours on the edge of the toddler bed rail! In fact, if the giraffe isn’t hanging there when Ryan gets into bed, he searches everywhere saying, “Giraffe! Giraffe! Hang it!” Hanging it there leaves the face half open, which is the perfect amount of light for reading stories and falling asleep. Need more light? Just open the AnimaLamp up all the way… or close it all the way for less light.
With baby #2 on the way in a couple weeks here, I realize this will be the perfect light for middle of the night diaper changes and feedings, too.
We were worried about it lasting all night in Ryan’s room if it wasn’t plugged in, but no trouble there. Mobi says it lasts 8-12 hours per charge, but it has always lasted much longer than that for us. Regardless, 8-12 hours is plenty for overnight!
You can get your AnimaLamp for $24.95 on Mobi’s site (the monkey is coming soon!).

Would love to win the GIRAFFE! My son needs a nightlight that doesn’t plug in, and this one would match his room perfectly!

I like their gentle ear/forehead thermometer. I have a very simple thermometer, but not one that can be used when they are sleeping. That would be handy!

Love the AnimaLamp – Giraffe, this is such perfect timing, we have a problem with darkness in bathrooms. I believe a light burst while she was in the bathroom and now she just screams when she is in a closed space like store bathrooms. She needs a friend/light to help get thru this. And this are adorable. Thanks so much for the chance.
