How long will the timer go? I'm looking for a 2-hour visual timer for my 3 year old, so she can see the progress of nap time/quiet time.

Yes. You can also specify the interval between color changes as well. Programming is moderately complicated, akin to setting an alarm on a digital watch. You must push the menu buttons in a set pattern to program. I used mine outdoors and it did not last very long before it stopped working.

This depends on so many things, including how much load the computer/monitors/etc. are taking, and how old the battery is. A nice thing about this model is that it has a digital readout which will tell you how many minutes. Generally, it will be a few minutes only.

The middle button is the one with a timer of about 45 minutes. I use it as a night light for my daughter when she is going to sleep. I haven't had it just stay on till you turn it off. Will see if I can figure it out and if I find a solution I'll respond again.

It always turns off after the 20 min. It doesn't have a changeable timer setting. You just have to get up and turn it on again if babe is still unsettled.

They could probably turn it but the lowest time you can set is 5 min and that is a long time for a 3yo to sit in timeout, in my opinion.

yes, i think it's 2 hours. I have it programmed to come on at 6:30am, and it shuts off sometime later.

It's just 12 hours. Honestly, I would recommend getting a different product. This one is incredibly small, way too light, cannot charge anything very well, has really low-quality alarms, and you cannot turn an alarm off ever. It is really pretty with the lights and the board but it's not worth it. Not to mention setting it up is a pain in the butt if you don't be patient with it. The display doesn't show up correctly for the first few minutes and then only shows when you hold it a certain angle. It's not worth it.

This was a gift to my Mother. I set it up(she is 92). I don't remember it having the ability to go that long between changes. Maybe an hour, don't think it can go any longer than that.

My son loves his tablet! Actually, he has a pretty short attention span, so 2 hours is fine for him. We always keep it plugged in when not in use so I don't think I can help you.

The time greatly depends on the brightness of the screen. At a moderate intensity, I'd say 4 - 5 hours.

Mine lasted about 3 minutes. Alarm sounded and wouldn't shut off. I haven't tried returning it yet.

*UPDATE/CORRECTION* I just went back and read my original review, and it looks like those settings are range in meters for motion detection, not time in minutes that it stays on. I'm pretty sure it is range, and there's just a set time it stays on per trip, but I'm not sure what it is. Seems like 10mins approx. Sorry my 1st answer was incorrect. Was accidental. ORIGINAL ANSWER: Mine has 1M,2M,5M,10M,20M choices. For me this product has some drawback, so u may want to read my full review before buying.

It depends on your child. For my daughter, I cannot do the 2 minutes yet, she is 3yrs old & she struggles with spit, etc. My son on the other side is much better, we started the 2 minutes at age 3, close to 4 & he does great. Though, there are times where the 2 minutes feel like 5 minutes. :-)

LOLL -- This is a great idea! All it would need is a sound SENSOR and... voila! Baby might instantly fall back to sleep. ;-) Also, I'm surprised that not every manufacturer makes them so that, if wanted/needed, the sound can be continuous by not using the timer.

it does work and last for about 3 hours. Have to do it 2 or 3 times daily if you want your eyes to pop

First, I haven't actually timed its duration. However, I do notice that the intensity decreases when you switch to nightlight mode. I believe it should last longer because of this, but cannot confirm.

It usually takes 3 hrs., but you can try the super rapid setting. I haven't tried that so I don't know how it works.
