Material and Comfort

Pros:

• "This is cozy, soft and washes nicely."
• "The fleece definitely keeps them warm."
• "It’s so soft and washes so well."
• "These are so warm and soft."
• "The micro fleece is super soft and a great thickness. I live in Minnesota where it's very cold and my baby has never woken up cold or warm."
• "It keeps her nice and warm."
• "This fleece sack keeps her nice and warm while giving her legs room to move."

Cons:

• "No, I'm unhappy because we chose this particular swaddle specifically because it was advertised as a 100% cotton micro-fleece... only to read the words 100% polyester printed on the back of the product packaging."
• "Way too warm and she hated being swaddled anyways."
• "Wayyyy too hot for my baby and I lived in Illinois where the winters are tough.. my baby got too hot in this thing and started crying so bad.. never buy this it’s a health hazard."
• "I bought two of them. One was fine but another one has terrible chemical smell."
• "It's a really cheap zipper so it breaks every time it's worn."

Design and Functionality

Pros:

• "The velcro works like a charm and it's extremely secure."
• "The zipper makes it easy to put him in, and change the diaper without taking him out."
• "If you use it properly your baby should be wrapped snugly so that it is difficult for them to move their arms."
• "She broke out of every other swaddler but the Velcro panels are much bigger than other brands and she couldn't break out."
• "It is easy to put on, the baby's hands can be covered, there is enough room in it for him to move his legs."
• "The reverse zipper is great, I don't have to get her out!"
• "Also I love how the zipper is on the bottom so that I can leave it on during nighttime diaper changes."

Cons:

• "I also got scared by reports that you shouldn't use velcro swaddles with young babies for fear they will get velcroed in place in a compromising position."
• "The only downside is it's a heavy swaddle."
• "Seems like a small difference but I get annoyed by it every time I use the dot one and I regret taking the tags off."
• "The last time scared the garbage out of me because as she worked her arms out, she brought it up over her mouth."
• "I wish there were less steps."
• "The freaking velcro is so loud!"
• "Upon putting the sleepsack on her I noticed the zipper is backward."

Customer Service and Shipping

Pros:

• "Cannot put into words how much we love these swaddle sacks!"
• "Ordered multiple to account for accidents."
• "These blankets are used in birthing centers, and this speaks much of it."

Cons:

• "This web store gave me a faulty tracking number from ups."
• "I could not contact the business because every extension for their customer service had a full voicemail and could not be left messages or speak to anyone."
• "Super frustrated with this product."
• "After an additional week they emailed me to inform me they were out of this product and would need to issue a refund."

Safety and Size

Pros:

• "The SleepSack was my first choice since it's unsafe to place blankets in the crib with infants."
• "He has never managed to get his arms out / get it over his head like others have mentioned & is lovely & cosy with just this on over his babygro."
• "We double checked with our NICU nurses regarding the safety of the device and they concurred it was the right thing for us."
• "These sleepers make it so simple to keep them warm, comfy, and swaddled without any risk."

Cons:

• "I would never buy this as a gift as it can be a potential hazard. Remember you need to make it tight enough for it not to move over the babies face."
• "If you don't swaddle the two extended bits low enough, they could cover babies mouth and nose if they move."
• "On more than one occasion I have witnessed my little one get this sleep sack to ride up over his face despite having him in it properly."
• "I noticed only once that the swaddle portion bunched up around the babies face and that was when it was not attached properly."
• "She is average length and it still fits her but is getting small at the armholes."
• "I agree with other reviewers that it would be nice if it were slightly larger so it could be used longer."
