Sleep better. Parent easier.
We are a USA based company with a mission to create beautiful, modern children's products. Our goal is to design products that customers wouldn't necessarily think were children's products at first glance, yet still bring delight to children everywhere. Most importantly, we set out to build high quality products - while keeping them affordable.
With LittleHippo products, we hope to make parenthood just a little bit easier.
How did we get our start?
In 2016, our family saw a need for well-made children's electronic products. After 2 years in development, we launched our first idea on Kickstarter and raised 300% our funding goal!
What makes our products unique?
We create beautiful, high quality yet functional AND affordable children's products. We are a USA based company that prioritizes service and satisfaction.
Why do we love what we do?
As parents ourselves, we are always looking for ways to make the job of parenting easier. We love hearing from fellow parents who have had success with our products!
See Why Over 1 Million Families Chose Mella!
Can't keep your kid in bed? Let us help. MELLA is the #1 most backed kid's clock and all-in-oneReady to Rise children's sleep trainer designed to keep your kid in bed longer. MELLA is a OK to wake clock, alarm clock, sleep sounds machine, night light and nap timer rolled into one adorable package.
Why Mella Over the Others?
A step above the rest.
Some kid clocks don't have enough features. Others have nonsensical design choices. MELLA strikes a perfect balance between features and usability.
Thoughtfully designed.
With an easy-to-use user interface, MELLA is your child's all-in-one sleep gadget. It is perfect for birthdays, holidays, baby showers, and more!
Safety Tested. Durable.
MELLA is FCC, CE, RoHS, CA65, REACH, ATSM, and CPSIA approved. Sure, you can purchase a cheaper option, but has it been safety tested as much as ours?
Beautifully delivered.
MELLA arrives in elegantly designed packaging and brings delight to both parents and children everywhere. Children's products can be beautiful too!
How Does Mella Work?
Every night, MELLA goes to sleep (with an optional, automatic night light). Up to 30 min before the wake time, MELLA can optionally turn yellow. Teach your kid to play quietly until it's time to wake! At the wake up time, MELLA will greet your kid with a smile and glow green!

Get your sleep back with the Mella Kids Clock
Merchant VideoIs the night light automatic or optional? Is the Yellow Play Light optional?
At the sleep time, MELLA's eyes will close and you can set an AUTOMATIC night light to come on at the same time.
Also, the Yellow Play Light is optional - it can be totally toggled OFF choose from time intervals ranging from 5-30 minutes.
Is the brightness of the light ring and the screen display adjustable?
Yes to both! For the light ring, there are THREE brightness settings to choose from. For the screen display, there are FIVE brightness settings to choose from. You can even dim the face ALL THE WAY to black!
Can the sound machine and night light run all night?
Yes to both! The sound machine and night light have various duration options including continuously/all night long. Even though the out of the box default duration is 30 minutes, the duration can be changed in the settings.

NO - MELLA must be plugged in to work. A pre-installed battery is solely meant for timekeeping/memory keeping in the event of moving the unit or a power outage. We sell replacement USB cables/adapters - search for product B0D77HNSYC.
