Ollie is a surface wash only toy due to his electrical components. Please do not put him in the washing machine or tumble dryer. Just wipe him over with a damp cloth. Do not use any chemicals as it may affect the fabrics or transfer to your child’s environment. Ollie the Owl has switches in his wings and feet which allow you to choose different settings. When we describe these settings we use left and right from Ollie’s point of view, not as you look at him. There are four light levels including no light, all of which can be activated via Ollie’s right foot. As you can imagine, pricing is one of the most important factors of any purchasing decision. We can find the perfect product for our needs, that fits the brief in every single way. But if it doesn’t fit our budgets, we simply can’t (or at least shouldn’t) buy it.

Begin the cleaning cycle by pressing the cleaning button on the side of the unit for two seconds. The cleaning light will illuminate on the front of the unit and hot water will now dispense into the container (do not leave it un-attended at any time). Once the water hopper is empty, the unit will beep and the water light will again illuminate.If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands. That way when you come to the point where you’re comparing product options you can filter to only show the products from brands in your list. If the price appears to be significantly lower than you’d expect for the sort of product you’re buying, then you’d be wise to start looking in a bit more detail at other indicators of the quality. Place Ollie where your baby can see and hear him and where he can listen in CrySensor mode. Toys should not be placed on the mattress inside a sleeping baby’s cot so use Ollie’s Velcro loop to attach him to the cot or place him on furniture nearby.

The first thing we should say before we get really into the detail on the price, is to get you to think about a budget. Budgeting is a really key part of the buying process, as without a budget you might end up blowing a lot more money than you had planned to. So take a look at your finances and get a bit of an idea of how much you are willing to spend before you take too much time shopping around. Price The CrySensor is available on Ollie’s right wing and plays the Lullaby or White Noise static. The Heartbeat and Rainfall sounds are activated from Ollie’s left wing but do not have the CrySensor facility.

Yes, you can use rechargeable batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries. Remove rechargeable batteries from Ollie before you charge them.

Of course, one downside to buying online is that you aren’t able to see the product in-person. But there are many ways to help you determine a product’s quality without seeing it. To do this, first unplug the machine and remove the lid, water hopper and bottle stand, setting the filter to one side (top side down). Clean them using hot soapy water, rinsing thoroughly with cold water, before allowing to dry naturally (do not use cloths or tea towels to dry).This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items.
