SwaddleMe Ingenuity Pod Months 1 Pack Reviews Summary

Zipper Functionality

Pros:

• "The two way zippers make it easy to change a diaper in the middle of the night while keeping the baby’s arms secure."
• "The zipper at the top also has a small piece of material to move over it so baby's chin doesn't get pinched in the zipper."
• "The double zipper makes diaper changes easier as baby doesnt have to get fully undressed."
• "Love that it has a lower zipper too so that you don't even have to remove this swaddle while checking/changing diapers."
• "The zipper that opens from bottom to top is the most convenient feature and allows for easy diaper changes at 3am when baby and I are both half asleep."
• "These are so easy to use! Lay baby on top and zip up!"
• "These swaddles are super convenient because you can zip them up from the bottom of the swaddle without taking your baby completely out of it to change her diaper."

Cons:

• "Plus I’m scared of having to cut her out should the other zipper break!"
• "The zipper moves around near babies’ face and neck because the fabric flap to tuck it under isn’t large enough."
• "The zipper was plastic so it wasn’t very strong."
• "One of the zippers doesn't have a cover which was annoying."
• "The zipper cover at top doesn't actually keep the zipper in it securely."
• "The top zipper keeps popping up and pushing on my little babies throat."
• "The only problem I have with these is the zipper at the top doesn't have much to cover it."

Size and Fit

Pros:

• "These are perfect and you don't have to worry about this swaddle being too tight or not tight enough!"
• "Perfect for our 9lb baby."
• "Really good fit for a preemie/newborn baby."
• "These are the perfect size with a good amount of stretch."
• "Newborn size fits my almost 10 lbs and 20 in baby."
• "Perfect! Our newborn was only 5 lbs 6 oz. finding a Swaddler that fit was a challenge. This did the trick and there is room to grow."
• "They're stretchy so there's still room for growth."

Cons:

• "The size is smaller than we thought. 8 LB baby already fits snug."
• "I had an average size baby and these were way too tight that I was afraid my baby would suffocate so I stopped using."
• "These swaddles are super thin and extremely small. My average sized newborn fit these for one week."
• "Sizing is a little small..i have a 19 1/4in 6lb newborn and these didn't allow her to stretch her legs."
• "Its tiny I bought the newborn size and my baby is not big he is 19” and 7 lbs and this was way too tight my baby was super uncomfortable."
• "Too small even for a newborn."
• "Too tight for 7weeks old baby that weighs around 7lbs."

Material Quality

Pros:

• "I've had the swaddles for 2 months now and they've held up nicely to being washed frequently."
• "I've already washed them multiple times and they are just as good as they were out of the package."
• "The fabric is very stretchy and thin which is perfect for the summer months."
• "The material is very soft, the designs are cute."
• "They are soft and seem to be very comfortable for her to wear."
• "The material is soft and lightweight."
• "These are very soft and allow the baby to still move around because they stretch."

Cons:

• "Fabric did not stretch and was uncomfortable for my baby."
• "The little flap doesn’t hold it and my baby thinks the zipper is a good way to self soothe and she sucks on it."
• "However, we returned the swaddles because she kept rolling over when wearing them."
• "Once the pod gets a little worn, sometimes there are issues with the zipper closure."
• "After the first wash(warm water/ air dry), it shrunk so much that it no longer fit."
• "But all of the spandex makes them SUPER HOT, she would sweat terribly in them."
• "Disappointed! After the first wash, the zipper curled."

Design and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "These are seriously the best thing I have for my daughter."
• "I love these swaddles so much for a newborn. I wish I knew about them back when I had my son because he would always break out of the velcro swaddles."
• "I love how simple these are to use. Simply put the baby in it and zip it up."
• "These little swaddle pods are the way to go for a newborn for first time parents."
• "Love these! Zipper swaddles are absolutely the way to go baby sleeps great in these and it’s so easy to get her in and out of them without making noise or moving her around like with Velcro."
• "These ones are amazing!!! I will only buy zippier ones from now on."
• "These are so easy to use! Lay baby on top and zip up!"

Cons:

• "Not as perfect as the woombie brand bc that one has a snap up top....and this just zips."
• "The return process is also difficult.. they have an option to send return label to email but when I send it, it doesn’t work."
• "Diaper changes are a nightmare in them in the middle of the night since they don't have the double zipper option."
• "You can’t use this one handed or while holding baby in one arm."
• "It broke after only 3 uses."
• "These seem to be “seconds” quality. The extra fabric that holds the zipper down at the top was sewn on to the inside so the zipper handle flops around and pokes Baby in the face and neck."
• "Complete waste of money. Very disappointing."
