Parents often look for a way to keep their children in bed a little longer and gain a few extra minutes of rest.
For these parents, the ideal solution is the smart clock-alarm for children designed by Little Hippo, based in San Francisco, California.
The smart MELLA clock, which is designed to function as a children's alarm clock, sound machine, night light and reminder timer, all in one.
The development team behind the smartwatch explains more about its inspiration and design:
“Studies show that children do not fully understand the concept of time until about age 8. MELLA uses colors and facial expressions to teach your child when it’s time to sleep and when it’s time to wake up. With MELLA, your child can learn to stay in bed longer, giving you more time to sleep! It’s not terrible!
Set the desired sleep time and every night, MELLA will sleep together with your child. MELLA sleeps all night, so that your child knows that during those hours they must stay in bed. Good things come to those who know how to wait! Half an hour before the wake‑up time, MELLA will display a playful expression and light up a yellow light. Teach your child to play quietly and wait patiently until the green light! Set the desired wake‑up time and MELLA will greet your child with a smile and shine a green color. It's time to start his day!”
