SwaddleDesigns Transitional Half Length Heathered Transition Reviews Summary

Quality and Material

Pros:

• "It’s great quality, great price!"
• "The fabric is very soft."
• "Quality is amazing and super soft."
• "The material is super soft and cozy for my little one."
• "It’s very soft and comfy and seems to be great quality."
• "It’s a nice material and thickness."
• "Fabric is lightweight but good quality."

Cons:

• "They do shrink after washing. I have a tall baby and after washing the swaddle it was almost too short."
• "The only thing is, is the sack is really long!"
• "The fabric is honestly not as soft as I expected it to be."
• "I've used this swaddle less than 10 times and have only washed it about 5 times and it already has holes in the fabric."
• "The worst thing is the pilling. We’ve only used this about 1.5 months and there is pilling on the backs of the arms and butt area."
• "The only thing I did not like was that they do shrink in the wash."
• "The only issue I have is that it stains so easily."

Design and Fit

Pros:

• "I love that you can cover hands or keep them free."
• "Easy and fast to take off and put on when fussy!"
• "It is easy to put on, great for when they’re ready for hands out, and baby sleeps well in it."
• "The area around the belly is slightly fitted (but not tight) so it is nice and secure feeling, but hips down it open up nicely to allow proper hip and leg mobility."
• "As a newborn, my baby always fought the swaddles that kept her arms down by her sides... She was so happy and much easier to put down to sleep after we started using this swaddle!"
• "It’s long enough for my baby and has room to grow."
• "Love these. My daughter is now sleeping 10 hours! Before she was only sleeping 4-5 hours and would wake up crying."

Cons:

• "I had ordered the small when my baby was out of swaddles and he loved it so much I got the medium when he outgrew it. I was honestly disappointed by the lack of much size difference between the small and the medium."
• "The only thing I didn’t love is the arm/sleeve situation. It has little hand cuffs to cover the hands which was appealing when purchasing, however due to the length of the 'sleeve' I just felt like it left his arms looking a little crammed."
• "The fold over arm option is a bit bulky and takes longer to dry."
• "Ordered one for my 2 month old... it was so tight for him especially around his back neck."
• "The 'Large' was too small in the sleeve and chest area, yet oddly long in length."
• "I do think the sizes run a little small. She's only 14 pounds now and her legs are too long to fit in it anymore."
• "I loved the 0-3 but it fit like a newborn and it was nice and thick. I went up a size when he was actually 0-3 and the 3-6 would fit a toddler. It’s insanely long."

Functionality and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "Easy to wash and dry. Follow washing directions and no shrinking happens."
• "Helped my 3 month old sleep through the night and was great for transitioning from swaddling."
• "I love the zipper, the whole reverse thing is super helpful."
• "Material is stretchy and baby has room to wiggle a little."
• "I love that I can zip it up from the bottom for diaper changes in the middle of the night, makes it much easier."
• "The double zipper makes nighttime changes easy as cake."
• "Love that there’s a zip from bottom to top so it makes it easy to check/change babies diaper!"

Cons:

• "My baby gets his hands out of the cuffs pretty easily."
• "The only thing I don’t like is the zipper doesn’t lay flat, it bulges up on the stomach/chest."
• "The only thing I maybe don’t like is that it bunches up at the zipper at the very top by her chin."
• "The only plus is that the fabric is nice and breathable."
• "The only thing I didn't like is how thick it is."
• "The only thing I would suggest is this size having the extra part to hold his arms down like the newborn size."
• "The only upset is that the arm space is small and constricting."
