what parents are saying
I started using this when baby was about 2.5 months old. It's an odd contraption but it works. Only thing I didn't like was that it didn't add any warmth around baby's neck due to how the arms wrap. (Oct 26, 2017)

Did not like this. Found it more complicated than it had to be, and baby didn’t seem to feel as secure in the sack portion. Jun 14, 2023

This was weirdly hard to use, and we’ve used a lot of swaddles. There was also too much fabric which bunched. Aug 03, 2022

Baby didn't like to be swaddle. High quality. Easy to use. Nov 02, 2020

My husband loves these swaddles. Easy to make snug. Velcro does warp after washing and my baby moves her arms a lot so when we wake up she has pulled the arms lower on her belly exposing her chest Jan 28, 2020

I have two. I like the idea but my baby hates to not be able to move her arms. She won't stop cry. Nov 07, 2019

This was the swaddle that did the trick in getting our little one to sleep. Worked miracles for us! Apr 15, 2019

Our baby was not fond of having her arms swaddled AT ALL. We tried this one time, the result was a lot of screaming, so this was a no-go! Mar 17, 2019

Got this as a hand me down. Hard to operate. We stuck with the halo swaddles. Mar 13, 2019

so easy to use--no brains or experience required; i love the neutral color and the softness of the organic material; velcro hasn't worn out at all. Feb 08, 2019

Great for babies with powerful arms that bust out of any other swaddle. Not recommended for very tall babies. Feb 06, 2019

When our little one was still needing to be swaddled this one was far above the rest for us. It's extremely easy to use and GREAT for night time changes as you do not have to unswaddle arms! Jan 20, 2019

Kind of difficult to figure out how to wrap the first time you use it on baby. Also love how easy it is to change diapers without unwrapping the baby. Jun 24, 2018

Soft and easy to use. Can change diapers without completely unswaddling. Baby slept well whenever we used this, and we’ll be using again for baby #2 soon. Has held up well and still looks new. Feb 18, 2018

I like that it is better for her hips and shoulders. Velcro makes it a little inconvenient to do diaper changes but not too terrible. My little one still manages to break free in the middle of the night but no swaddle sack has stopped her from doing that yet. Would recommend to others. Jan 06, 2018

It was the only swaddle jack couldn't break out of. However, it didn't last long because it was too short. The halo swaddle sack got longer usage for us. Oct 18, 2017

It was so easy for baby to get their hands out and the top cover was easily kicked off. I wouldn't recommend. Oct 18, 2017

Seemed easy to put on, but didn’t contain baby enough and they didn’t settle well wearing it. Oct 12, 2017

More fabric and harder to use than other swaddles on the market. Oct 05, 2017

So cute, but it didn't work out for us. Our baby is 90th percentile height and outgrew it in length by 3 weeks. It was also too warm for summer weather. It seems like great quality, just not for us. Sep 21, 2017

We use this every night. Very helpful if you have a baby Houdini who can get out of blanket swaddles. This is soft, easy to use and easy to clean. Jul 23, 2017

So easy to change their diaper at night and I love how it keeps their hips and legs free. I probably washed mine dozens of times but the fabric is still so soft. Mine was the breathable one version Feb 27, 2017

My son can escape almost every swaddle. This swaddle secured his arms and also made diaper changing easy and accessible! Feb 04, 2017

Awesome for newborns! Love the pockets to insert the little arms into. Kinda looks like a straight jacket, but my baby is very snug and comfortable. Easy diaper changes too without removing arms! Sep 12, 2016

not a bad swaddle but isn't my favorite. And my kids grew out of them fast size wise. Apr 23, 2016

Did not like these swaddles. Bulky and awkward arm wraps. However, it was easy to change diaper while swaddled. Jan 24, 2016

My baby did not like her arms crossed in this swaddle and it seemed too short for her from the get-go. I love Ergo products, but this one didn't work for us. Jun 03, 2015

These are fantastic! Their designed to keep baby's legs in the correct position, and the little pockets for baby's arms make using these a breeze! And helps keep baby swaddled comfortably. Apr 08, 2015

this worked really well for us while transitioning from swaddle to sleep sack. we wrapped it under DS's arms, so his hands were free but he still felt the security of a swaddle around his body. Apr 08, 2015
We moved to the Ergo after using several other brands. I loved that it let his legs move freely, unlike the Woombie. He quickly got too tall to use the leg harnass, but no problem with that. Apr 08, 2015

I wanted to love this but I just didn't. It was hard to pin her arms down in this and if they break out in the middle of the night good luck getting them back swaddled without turning a light on. Apr 08, 2015

Wanted so much to love these, but unfortunately our little one didn't. If your baby doesn't like swaddling, I suggest buying sleep sacks instead! Apr 06, 2015

Not a great fit. Didn't cover baby's shoulders well. Seemed very restrictive. Aug 08, 2017
- Trudy M.

The size said '6-12lbs' and my son was born at 8lbs, however this did not fit right from birth. There is a Velcro piece in the middle that goes between the legs and we weren't able to Velcro it up. Oct 05, 2016

All these fancy swaddlers are a waste. Just use A&A swaddles. Mar 02, 2016

must-have for newborns. the only swaddle that we felt was comfy and worked well enough. we used it every night for the first 3 months. Oct 28, 2014
