HALO Sleepsack Swaddle Wearable Blanket Reviews Summary

Swaddle Design

Pros:

• "Love halo sleep sacks. They make swaddling so simple and feel much safer than blankets."
• "Our baby won’t stay asleep unless she is swaddled."
• "It's great that I don't have to unzip all the way or un-swaddle to change a diaper."
• "Fastens securely with generous Velcro allowance."
• "Love the sleep sack! Easier to use than any other swaddler we've tried."
• "I like how you can use it as a swaddle or a sleep sack, depending on their age."
• "This is our 3rd Halo Sleepsack and we've found that they work the best to keep our babies asleep! Easy to put on and stay tight enough to keep their little arms contained."

Cons:

• "It can be a suffocation hazard."
• "The Velcro is super loud and startles her when I have to change her diaper when she's half asleep."
• "The fabric rides up and ends up being tight on the side of his neck and half covering his face, so it seems to be a definite choking hazard."
• "Velcro closure is very noisy and startled baby when opening."
• "Woke up to my son screaming. The swaddle was up over his ears covering his mouth and nose."
• "There’s so much material my baby is so uncomfortable in this and no matter how I pull the straps there’s excess on the back."
• "The muslin fabric continued to get snagged on the Velcro, in a way that the fabric started to tear and rip."

Material and Fabric

Pros:

• "Very well made and soft fabric."
• "We have a cotton one that is very soft and a fleece one when it was colder."
• "The material is very gentle for babies' skin."
• "It is good quality and soft and warm."
• "The fabric is nice and soft to the touch."
• "Love the color blue, the thin material so baby doesn’t over heat, also that it zips top to bottoms so does not bother babies face with the zipper."
• "This sleepsack is awesome! Its 100% cotton, so soft and breathable."

Cons:

• "Would be nice to have a slightly more lightweight fabric option for those living in very warm climates."
• "The quality is great but I hate how bulky it is."
• "The seams on all 3 sleep sack swaddles are coming undone which is a huge hazard for baby."
• "The fabric is stretchy and would be perfect but the stitching isn’t stretchy so the edge of the swaddle side with the Velcro gets much tighter than the rest of it."
• "The wings for the swaddle are way too big and stretchy."
• "Some nights I woke up and the swaddle was on his face."
• "The arm holes are a bit small, the seams at the top and at the arm holes have absolutely no give and are constricting."

Functionality and Convenience

Pros:

• "Excellent cloth quality and easy diaper change - hats off to halo!"
• "She started sleeping better, 3.5 hours the first time during her first week, and progressively longer as her stomach got larger."
• "It zips bottom to top so midnight diaper changes are easy without having to undo the whole swaddle gig."
• "Love that it also has the two way zipper for easy diaper change!"
• "Double zipper a big bonus, making diaper changes so much easier in the middle of the night."
• "Easy access to diaper with two way zipper to change baby overnight."
• "Much easier to put on than some other swaddles on market due to full length zipper and width of fabric."

Cons:

• "I ordered a replacement for the completely wrong item and was sent the correct swaddle but the wrong pattern."
• "The polka dot only had a one way zip, which makes it difficult at night to change my baby's diaper."
• "The zipper was out on upside down which means once she falls asleep I have to slide it over her head and wake her up."
• "The Velcro part started to mess up and curl outwards. Then it would get stuck to my daughter’s sheets and was ruining them by pilling them."
• "Additionally, the new one i purchased is considerably larger and my baby's arms keep breaking loose from the swaddle."
• "This Disney halo doesn’t work quite as good as the regular halo swaddle."
• "Even when I unzipped from the bottom I still couldn’t comfortably change a diaper."

Overall Quality and Satisfaction

Pros:

• "The only swaddle my baby girl will use. It says medium but my girl is going on 17lbs and it still fits great with lots of room."
• "I love this swaddle! She is so comfortable in it."
• "Love these for both of my daughters. You can really get a great swaddle and they’re nice and long so they don’t constrict their legs."
• "We love all of our Halo swaddles! Our little guy will only sleep when he is swaddled and the zip from bottom design on these makes middle of the night changes a BREEZE!"
• "Calms my baby quickly and helps him sleep."
• "I definitely recommend this product!"
• "Highly recommended!"

Cons:

• "I would not buy from this seller again. 5 stars for the product, 1 star for the seller/distributor."
• "So for me, this swaddle is trash. Do not buy."
• "Wouldn’t recommend spending you money on this name brand product."
• "Definitely way overpriced, regardless."
• "Baby has only used these halo swaddles for 2 months and they are already falling apart!"
• "After washing it that night, it came out with 3-4 holes in it, and has continued to fall apart."
• "Changing diapers was more disturbing to his sleep than it needed to be."
