18 kids’ night lights helping little ones drift off

Best Kids' Night Lights: Mr Maria Lion

From hyperactivity to ‘monsters under the bed’, there are more than a few reasons why littlies stay awake until all hours, but a comforting nursery night light for babies or kids can make a big difference to disrupted bedtime routines.

So much more than a sweet piece of décor, a night light can calm worried minds, ease fears of the dark, and be something of a companion at a time when insecurities can surface.

What to look for when buying a kids night light

Things to consider when buying a kids night light

Portability: We all know the importance of a consistent bedtime routine. If your baby, toddler or bigger child likes to have their night light with them wherever they sleep, look for one that is battery operated and easy to travel with. Think overnight stays at grandmas or week-long trips away from home.

Timer: Some kids’ and nursery night lights stay on all night whereas others have a timer function that automatically switches the light on and off after certain times. This is a handy little feature for parents conscious of saving energy around the home.

Brightness Control: Night lights all vary in brightness. Having a dimmer or brightness control allows you to adjust the glow to suit your sleepy little one.

Remote: Look for a nursery night light that comes with a remote or easy on/off controls like a simple touch-on feature. Fiddling with little buttons or adjusting timers is the last thing parents want to be doing when settling kids to sleep or feeding younger bubs during the night.

Additional Extras: Many are more than a simple light that shimmers in the nursery or bedroom. Some are a combination of multiple sleep aids such as sound machines and projectors.
