SwaddleDesigns Transitional Half Length Transition Hedgehogs Reviews Summary

Comfort and Fit

Pros:

• "He loves to have his hands free so that’s why I bought this... thought it would help with the startle reflux."
• "Right away I saw a difference in sleep. She no longer woke herself up squirming around."
• "Amazing item. My son needed to be swaddled but always wanted his arms up. He adores this and I've bought the swaddle (2) and two of these transitions. Worth it 100%."
• "Great for price! Baby sleeps well with this and loves that her hands are accessible."
• "I love how soft it is and stretchy."
• "It allows her to have her hands by her face and to move her arms without causing her to startle."
• "Our daughter loves this swaddle! It’s perfect because it also transitions to hands free!"

Cons:

• "The product works and quality is good. However, I feel like the arms are not long enough for our child."
• "Wanted these to work but unfortunately didn’t with my twin boys. These swaddles gave the boys too much arm movement so would startle themselves awake."
• "It’s too big on her even though she’s within the weight range of it."
• "Was great at first, within a week baby could get her hands out of the covers."
• "And he hated it. Screamed every time I put it on him until I took it off."
• "These are not worth the money."
• "But they sorta shrink, and as a result we could not really use them for very long."

Design and Quality

Pros:

• "Very nice product. Definitely recommend."
• "I absolutely love this! The hospital I had my daughter at had these for the newborns."
• "Happy baby happy momma!"
• "Love everything about this, bought another one when she grew out of the first. Love the double zipper and the option to have her hands out or covered."
• "I love the price of these, they’re way better quality than I was expecting."
• "They are warm, pretty and snuggly enough."
• "Great quality for the price! Nice soft and cozy fabric!"

Cons:

• "I really like this swaddle, but the zipper likes to get stuck and come off the track all the time."
• "This thing was 3 times his size to where it’s unsafe to even let him sleep in it with how much extra fabric is hanging off him."
• "The zipper broke. It’s January 12th. It didn’t even last a week."
• "I had this for 2 weeks and the zipper went out on me."
• "Sleeper is good but had to sew the hand coverings closed because they don’t go down deep enough to actually close in the hands effectively."
• "The tummy area was abnormally small and didn't match the size guide."
• "I would not recommend anyone to buy this if zipper breaks this easily and this quickly."

Functionality

Pros:

• "Baby can't break out and it cuts down on the startle reflex."
• "It allowed her hands and arms to be 'free' while still suppressing the startle reflex."
• "Perfect for my little one who likes her hands by her face."
• "Can unzip from the bottom or top to make diaper changes easier."
• "Diaper changes so easy with zipper on the bottom and no interruption if sleeping."
• "It has a double sip design making late night diaper changes a breeze."
• "Great for transitioning to more freedom and flexibility in swaddling, allows for some movement while still decreasing the triggering of their startle reflex."

Cons:

• "Would not recommend for babies who still have a startle reflex."
• "The open arms feature does not work well, it's too tight for baby."
• "No, I would not recommend this product."
• "It allows too much movement and he can still startle himself awake."
• "The folds for the arms to remain 'swaddled' can just be pushed through with tiny little hands."
• "My baby broke his arms out of the sleeves too easily and wake himself up during naps and at night."
• "I still love this product as it's an awesome wearable blanket and I need one anyway but it does not calm the startle reflex for my baby at all."
