The tradeoff: You switch it on yourself every evening and before every nap, and the weekend time needs a small switch flipped on Friday.
From Pabobo’s own pages and manual: the sources.
Set this clock up
- Hold SET on the back of the small screen for 2 to 3 seconds to open the menu; move with UP and DOWN and confirm with SET.
- Under SET TIME, set the clock (12- or 24-hour) and the three wake-up times: WAKE UP 1 W for weekday mornings, WAKE UP 2 NAP for the end of the nap, and WAKE UP 3 WE for weekend mornings.
- At bedtime or nap time, turn the main button to I for a silent wake-up, or to the alarm position for a sound. The rabbit lights up asleep and the small screen shows the moon; at the wake-up time the sun rises and the rabbit wakes. Turn the button to O during the day and back on at the next sleep.
- Slide the small W/WE switch to W for school nights (wake-up times 1 and 2) and to WE for the weekend (times 2 and 3).
- For a bedtime countdown, hold GS for 2 to 3 seconds: the rabbit wakes, the sun sets over 10 minutes, then the moon rises and the rabbit falls asleep. Hold the lullaby button for 2 to 3 seconds for a 3-minute lullaby; the menu changes the sounds, the volume and these timings.
Pabobo says to keep the clock and its cable out of reach of children under 3 (a strangulation risk) and to use it only with the adapter it recommends. Before 30 months, Pabobo suggests using it as a plain night light.

Features the maker’s manual doesn’t mention aren’t listed here, so the clock matcher won’t suggest this clock for them.
Ten minutes before the wake-up time the moon on the small screen starts to set, so your child can see morning is close; in the menu you can pick an emptying hourglass instead and change how long it takes.
A nap timer and a nap wake-up time work differently. The planner keeps them separate.

Without Wi-Fi or a phone
It has no app and needs no Wi-Fi: you set and change everything on the clock, and switch its night mode on each evening.
Power, and what happens in a power cut
Plugged in
Runs on battery · Plugged in, or 3 AA batteries (not included)
With 3 AA batteries in (not included) it keeps running in a power cut; Pabobo says they last about a month if the night light is on 12 hours a day, and recommends the plug for every feature.

When your child outgrows the light
Pabobo Kid’Sleep Moon can play a sound at its wake-up time, which you switch on or off. It has no alarm with a time of its own, so on school mornings the light and the sound come together. When to move on to a kids’ alarm clock.
Check it in your home
While you can still return it, try the buttons you will actually use. These are checks for you to make; we have not tested this clock.
- Find how to change the times and switch the wake-up light on, then check it shows the light and sound you chose.
- Check the brightness, the volume and where the clock stands, using the maker’s placement advice. Check what the lock stops and which buttons still work.
- Use the clock’s own preview or test, if it has one, rather than unplugging it or resetting it to see what happens.
- Show the other parent, a grandparent or the sitter the buttons. Read what to do after a power cut before you need it.
Agree on what the light means and what to do if it does not come on, then keep the manual or the maker’s help page with your plan.
Show your child what this clock’s light means, and leave a note for the sitter.
If the light does not come on, check the time, the mode and the power before you reset the clock.
