Swaddle Safety

Pros:

• "After reading my concern on this review, the vendor reached out and offered to send a newer version of the swaddles with more secure stitching."
• "Great Velcro. Zipper for easy diaper changes."
• "Love these swaddles! They are so soft and the Velcro is secure and tight."
• "Very easy to use!"
• "They keep our baby secure, snug and happy."
• "These were the only ones that wouldn’t ride up and sit over his mouth/ the only ones he couldn’t hudini out of."
• "We love these and use them nightly for my daughter who is now 2 months."

Cons:

• "I undid the velcro on the wrap and was horrified when I saw that one of many loose threads from the wrap’s stitching was tightly wrapped around my baby’s toe and his entire toe was purple."
• "Nice light material for use any time... it can be a little dangerous. I woke up one morning to the swaddle covering my babies face."
• "The bag is not flimsy, and does not have a chemical smell to it."
• "The Velcro is extremely sticky so trying to adjust it while they’re swaddled is near impossible."
• "The top of these swaddles cover his chin/ mouth and that makes us a bit nervous."
• "It is very difficult to get apart once stuck together."
• "However, tonight we had him in a swaddle only, and he let out an ear-piercing scream. Upon unswaddling him, we discovered a thread from the swaddle wrapped tightly around his toe, cutting off circulation."

Swaddle Comfort

Pros:

• "Perfect size and very soft fabric."
• "The thickness is perfect and keeps baby warm but not too warm."
• "The fabric, durability, and thickness are all good."
• "Absolutely amazing! Soft and breathable for baby."
• "The fabric is light weight and breathable so the baby doesn't over heat."
• "They're soft, stretchy, and easy to put on him even in the dark of the night. They keep him snug so that he can sleep comfortably."
• "Soft, comfortable and a lot of stretch."

Cons:

• "On a scale of softness 3/5."
• "Look at the edges. They are bright pink, and on the product photo it is light baby pink."
• "The material, however, is thin and the baby was cold in these compared to the Swaddle Me ones when used in 21.5C house with a normal-weight sleeper underneath."
• "The hip/leg portion is too narrow which can cause hip dysplasia."
• "There isn’t much room for hip flexibility, so we transitioned out of these pretty quickly."
• "The Velcro is way too loud and noisy and frequently startled our baby during overnight changes."
• "If you have a baby that’s a little on the chunky side I would not recommend."

Swaddle Size and Fit

Pros:

• "These were awesome for my baby once he was in the top end of the weight range."
• "If your baby is on the low end of the weight range, the swaddles may be a bit loose in the leg part at first, but after a few weeks they will fit perfectly and work great."
• "These swaddles are the only ones that fit my new born perfectly and still looked like there would be room for growth."
• "They fit so much better than the small size, and I don’t have to worry about it accidentally getting in the face of my baby who came 4 weeks early."
• "Our little baby girl was born 6lbs 2oz and these were absolutely perfect for her!"
• "It was a perfect fit for my newborn granddaughter that was born a little over 5lbs but was able to adjust to her size and will be able to use it for a long time."
• "We don’t do a full swaddle, we do arms out and this works great."
