Melissa & DougSunny Patch Flash Firefly Bug Flashlight for Kids

My daughter has recently been asking to bring books into her crib to "read" after she gets oeut down for the night. This flashlight is perfect because it's not burn-your-retinas-out bright like every other flashlight I've found. People on here are complaining because it's too dim, but it's perfect for a reading light or really for any kind of toddler activity because the first thing they do is shine it in their own eyes, and the second thing they do is shine it in yours. If you're looking for something you can see from space, get any other LED flashlight on here. If you're looking for a gentle, not super bright toddler flashlight, this one is a big win.

The Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Flash Firefly Bug LED Flashlight is a hit with my toddler! It's the perfect size for little hands and not too bright, making it safe and fun for young children. My toddler loves carrying it around and exploring with it. It's a great way to encourage imaginative play and independence. Highly recommended for any young adventurer!

Doesn't go through batteries like many other flashlights. Sufficient for a child to use at night

This is a very cute bug flashlight. It doesNot have very bright lighting, but my granddaughter loves it

My son absolutely loves the flashlight this is his third favorite toy but unfortunately this probably will not happen to most people my son threw it down the hallway for the sixth time and the spot where you're supposed to put a little neck lanyard through snapped right off and we had to file it down so that wasn't sharp But survived and almost every night making shadow puppets or looking inside of bags or closet or at pictures of animals in books and so on so I highly recommend maybe for a child not quite as destructive as mine I like to say he's free spirited as opposed to destructive but I digress go ahead buy it it's cute spend your money it's worth it

Before going into the details of my review, the flashlight seems to be an okay product. It’s fairly weightless even with the batteries installed and the on/off button is easy to maneuver for a child. I bought this toy for my toddler so that I don’t have to use my phone’s flashlight at bedtime for shadow game (my cell phone is pretty heavy should it hit my kid on the head). That said, my issue is mainly with the damaged packaging (reading the reviews, I’m not the only one to complain about that) and Amazon’s initial lack of good customer service. So, what happened was that I had placed an order for a NEW flashlight, but what arrived was clearly a used item (flashlight had pen markings) that was shoddily repackaged with tape. I don't even know how Amazon thought that's acceptable. When I called to report the issue, I was only offered a replacement and asked to have the damaged packaging item returned to the nearest UPS/Whole Foods. When I thought about it the next day, I was quite irked that there was no acknowledgement on Amazon’s part for not having met customer expectations and for the inconvenience caused to the customer for not only having to wait for the replacement item (I needed it urgently for a birthday gift) but also expecting them to take time out of the day to drop off the item. In spite of those feelings, as a compromise, I asked for a discount on the damaged packaging item because the flashlight seemed to work and I didn’t have the time to do the return before a long out-of-town trip. Disappointingly, the best Amazon could offer me was 25% off with no option for return if the toy did in fact malfunction. As a counter, I asked for 50% off, but the agent had to speak with a manager for that and I was put on hold for a long time. After being on the phone for over 30 minutes for an issue I thought was an easy resolve for Amazon, I decided to hang up. I called back later explaining the situation and expressing my frustration to the next rep, who was much more sensitive to the issues I raised about Amazon failing to meet expectations and not hesitating to inconvenience their customer for an error that was of Amazon’s making. The rep apologized and as compensation he not only gave me a full refund (without expectation to return the used item), but also asked me to keep the replacement flashlight. Even though the toy wouldn’t arrive on time for my need, I was satisfied with the end resolution, which should have been the case to begin with.

It’s a great little torch, gave it to my daughter for Christmas, but sadly the little loop/hook at the top just broke this week. Seems was a week join, as she’s barely used it, we were even away for 6 weeks since Christmas and it was at home unused. Other then that a cute little torch.

This wasn’t supposed to arrive before the 27th and it was delivered on the 23rd, just in time for Christmas!! Works great and my grandsons are impressed
