Pirate Alarm Clock

Arrg, matey! Your little pirates will love this Pirates of the Caribbean-themed alarm clock. It's got red glowing skull eyes, an option to add a voice to the moving jaws, FM/AM radio, battery backup, snooze function and a red LED display.

Sleep Buddy

This isn't just an alarm clock, but rather, a system to help a child who's about to move into a crib, who won't stay asleep through the night, a co-sleeper who's ready for his or her own space or has special needs. You'll get a softly light clock, a bedtime story, a reward chart with stickers and a guide to help parents.

Available at sleepbuddy.com, $39.99.

Hatch Baby Sound Machine, Night Light & Time-to-Rise

The name says it all. This all-in-one device from Hatch is your sound machine, your night light and your sleep training alarm clock, so it'll take you from a newborn to a toddler who needs to learn when it's okay to get up. There's a toddler lock, it works with the Hatch Baby app via Bluetooth, so you can adjust the sound level, length of the sound, the brightness of light and more, all from the living room while baby sleeps.

Tommee Tippee Gro Clock

Tommee Tippee just launched their first line of sleep products called Gro.

Tock the Learning Clock

Preschoolers can now tell time … to the beat!

Extra perks include a nightlight and “okay to wake” light if you need to make sure dance parties don’t kick off too early.

Puppy Training Clock

We're not sure what we like more about this alarm clock. The fact that it's an adorable puppy dog, that it has a hidden compartment so your kid can't mess with the settings, or that it's got both wake-up and a nap timer, which is perfect for weekends or days home from preschool. Set the time for when you want the green ball to light up, and watch your kid go from a too-early riser to a right-on-time tot.
