Summer SwaddleMe WrapSack Blanket, Transport, Small

This was my trasition solution after using the SwaddleMe Original on my 4month old since he was a newborn. I was using the large sized original but keeping one arm out (like the photo)....but he was getting a little too long for the length of the size large original, so I purchased the wrap sack in small after purchasing and returning a love sack (Lg) that was WAAAAAAAY too big for him. The size small in wrap sack fits him snug around the chest just like the original but is long enough for him to grow into. I also love that the wrap sack has a full zipper bottom which makes for legs out when he gets too long for this size. The Velcro pad placement on the wrap sack is also more functional and appropriate than the originals were. Overall, if you are deciding between the wrap sack and love sack for your transitional swaddle, pick this one.

I thought I would like this swaddler the least since it's one of the cheapest, but it turned out to be my favorite. My son's arms would pop out of the bottom of the Halo sleepsack and he'd wake up with a bunch of fabric balled up around his face. This Summer Infant one kept his arms down better and didn't make as much noise when you undid the velcro as the Halo. I wish I could have swaddled longer because my son slept better this way, but he started rolling over around 5 months and we had to take the swaddle away. It took him forever to adjust and you definitely pay a price for swaddling in the first place! But, those couple of months of slightly better sleep were pretty nice..

The design is good, but it's a pretty loose swaddle. My baby is a kicker, and the pocket on the bottom of this does not restrain her kicks at all because of how large it is. Also, the wrap around the arms only works for a big baby. My five month old is 20 pounds and the arm part finally fits her. Before now, I would wrap the top part around her and the tabs would go past the Velcro patch that they're supposed to stick to, so it was pretty useless. I tried to use the zipper bottom for a diaper change and I found that I couldn't get the blanket out of the way with her arms still pinned to her side by the top part. I didn't want to risk getting poop on the blanket so I ended up taking her out of it completely anyways. We got the Aden + Anais Easy Swaddle in large and we like it much better. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CU5M4NO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). The material is softer, the fit is better, and I prefer the snaps to the Velcro on this one. I found myself only grabbing for this SwaddleMe WrapSack when my A+A easy swaddle was in the wash.

This has been a very handy product for us. We bought this when our baby was 4 months old and are still using it now 3 months later. Our baby has never been a huge fan of swaddling, but we wanted to keep him warm at night and pajamas just weren't cutting it so we got this. He loves having his hands free. It's really easy to change diapers in-- that was a huge plus for me and probably my favorite feature about this. I do have a couple complaints though. After 3 months of use it is starting to tear a bit along the seam by the zipper, granted our baby is a kicker and fights bed time constantly. If you have an active guy like ours you will just have to keep that in mind. We still love it though and continue to use it. The other thing I don't love is that since the item wraps around their chest I can feel at night that sometimes his chest is really warm and his legs get a bit chilly. Overall I would recommend this product.

I have been using the swaddleme blankets since my first son was born - and now that we have a 3rd son, I'm so glad to have found this product! He's a large boy (at 6 months he weighed 17 pounds), so I ordered the large and it fits great. I can see how others say it runs large, but I would expect that, so that the child can fit in it throughout the whole weight range they have listed. Even though it does seem large, there is plenty of velcro to be able to wrap it as tight as you need, so I don't find it to be overly large. I love it and I love that he can use it for a long time - I just wish there were more patterns, especially for a boy or even neutral.

This did not work for us as an arms in swaddled. The arm wraps were much too narrow and baby escaped from the bottom plus the extra fabric ended up near his face and I was worried. Using this swaddle gave us the worst night sleep. We switched to the halo sleepsack swaddle with much more success. I also wrote to the company and never heard back. Pretty disappointing purchase for us.

Our kiddo was outgrowing the s/m size SwaddleMe normal sacks at 3 months, so we thought we'd upgrade to these, in preparation for him to stop full-swaddling. But wow, the leap between these two sizes is HUGE! I can't wrap him in the Large at all, maybe because my kiddo is much longer than he is wide, the velcro goes past the attachment point, I can't get a tight enough swaddle. He can't wear the s/m ones anymore either, because they are so small he's busting out of those. I wish either the s/m were a bit bigger or these were a bit smaller. Or heck, that there was a size between the s/m and the large. Update: bought a Halo WrapSack size Small that is working great. I think their sizes go newborn, small, large. The newborn one we have appears equivalent to the SwaddleMe s/m. The Halo Small seems to be a much better fit for my kiddo for the next size. The velcro attachment area on the Halo is also much larger.

This swaddle is great design for a big baby. With the zipper on the bottom you can even leave it unzipped and their legs can be left out. My 3 month old son is in 12 month clothes and this swaddle fits him. He is outgrown all the other swaddles with a place to keep their arms down. Love Amazon and free returns too so it was worth looking at without the risk. The sports one runs bigger.

Great product, the Swaddleme really helps my daughter to get to sleep, otherwise she's swinging her arms around and waking herself up.
