Manufacturer’s product description
This 3-in-1 product combines a cuddly toy, music, and projector in one lovingly designed companion. The interactive plush toy reacts automatically to crying or movement and activates gentle sounds and lights for five minutes at a time via sensors that can be switched off. The plush toy and projector can also be used separately – as a classic cuddly toy during the day and as an atmospheric night light and sleep aid in the evening. The integrated music player with eight soothing lullabies and three nature sounds ensures relaxed moments before bedtime. The soft, low-stimulus audio output through the plush fabric is particularly baby-friendly and supports a calm atmosphere in the nursery. The integrated LED projector conjures up a gentle starry sky on the ceiling and walls and creates a dreamlike environment for falling asleep and relaxing with harmonious light and sound effects. Thanks to the modern USB Type-C charging port and integrated rechargeable battery, there is no need for disposable batteries – practical, environmentally friendly, and cost-savingat the same time.
As a gift for a new baby, a music box for babies, a decorative night light, or an electronic toy, the cuddly toy with projector impresses with its functionality, design, and emotional impact, and will quickly become a cherished part of everyday life.
In product testing, the product impressed with its uncomplicated and reliable handling as well as its child-friendly appearance.

Inside the box were air-filled plastic insulation materials – it would be desirable for the manufacturer to consider a more environmentally friendly packaging option.
The product is packaged in a lovingly designed product box. Inside the box is the cuddly toy, a USB charging cable, and instructions for use.

The cuddly toy with projector from the Kidiyana brand was subjected to a detailed product test .
A functional test of the projector showed that it plays the projections reliably and switches on when it detects sounds. After a few minutes, it switches off automatically.
The projections work in different lighting conditions, although they are hardly usable in broad daylight – but this is not unusual. In complete darkness, the projection quality is very good. Depending on how bright it is in the room, the projections become slightly blurred, but this does not detract from the overall quality of the toy.
The projections are particularly clear and distinct on light-colored furniture , making it possible to see them well even away from pure white walls.
The music output is of very good quality – there are seven different lullabies suitable for children at an appropriate volume. If desired, nature sounds or white noise can also be set.
This product is machine washable; the cuddly toy can be easily removed for this purpose . The projector and music function can continue to be used independently.
In product testing, the cuddly toy with projector impressed with its child-friendly design, high-quality workmanship, and impressive projector and music functions.
