HALO SleepSack Cotton Swaddle Small Reviews Summary

Material & Comfort

Pros:

• "Not only is this the perfect material for her to wear in our air conditioned home during the hot NY summer, it’s also super cute too!"
• "It is light and very soft."
• "It’s just light weight enough to keep her cool, while being thick enough to protect her from the A/C."
• "It’s a nice soft, cotton material too so I don’t worry about him overheating, but he also stays perfectly warm too."
• "The Muslin is great for hot weather."
• "The material is soft and breathable, not too warm, and it doesn't get ruined after going through both washer and dryer."
• "This particular SleepSack is SUPER, SUPER soft!"

Cons:

• "The quality of this sack is definitely not the same as the one I bought at Target of the same brand."
• "If you want a halo, go for the fleece, but it is hot!"
• "Even though the material seems light, they are too hot!"
• "Thinner than fleece but thicker than muslin. Most similar to a thick, high thread count sheet."
• "The material is different and almost seems to stretch out to the point where it is so easy for my baby to break out of it."
• "The fabric has no give, so there’s really no way it can provide a snug swaddle."
• "A little bulky and not very soft."

Design & Functionality

Pros:

• "We absolutely love that it has sleeves so our little wiggle worm cannot scoot himself too low into the sack, causing the front to come up over his nose."
• "I love that I can leave my baby in the sleep sack but free her arms to nurse."
• "I like this swaddle is versatile and will grow with my newborn (allowing you to transition from arms-in to arms-free)."
• "Everyone gets better sleep with Halo -- especially me, as I no longer worried about blankets coming off or damaging the baby's hips!"
• "Also, the zipper coming up from the bottom makes diaper changes much easier."
• "The wearable blanket zips both ways so baby doesn't have to come out for diaper changes."
• "LOVE the innovative concept of having the zipper upside down, so you don't have to unswaddle during night time diaper changes."

Cons:

• "This product doesn’t actually swaddle your baby."
• "Disappointed. This swaddle is terrible."
• "The swaddle wings are only sewn to the sack in certain spots so my son slips his little arms through the holes where the wings aren't sewn on and gets his hands stuck and screams."
• "The wraps are too long, even for my baby that is the max weight for the swaddle, and there's no way to get it tight tight."
• "After a night or two of use, it gets stretched out and is even worse."
• "WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. Super dissatisfied and frustrated! It’s too loose and the Velcro is not grabbing anymore."
• "This swaddle is dangerous!!"

Quality & Durability

Pros:

• "They're high quality, stand up to the zillion washes that they've been through, and the velcro is strong."
• "We have bought other Halo Swaddles, but this is the best quality one yet."
• "The quality is great! It’s soft and comfortable for the baby, and with 2 Way zipper is easier to use than others."
• "The quality is great, the fabric is soooo soft."
• "The stitching also holds up well."
• "Nicely made however, it doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy."
• "The Velcro is stronger and longer than most other swaddles as well. Worth every penny!"

Cons:

• "Wouldn’t recommend- would have paid more money for a better quality."
• "With that being said, the fabric started to tear in several points due to being pulled so tightly."
• "This swaddle started coming apart at the seams after 3 uses."
• "Checked on her in a bit all the flaps were up around her face!!!"
• "The issue is that the other day my baby was having a crying attack and I needed him out of the swaddle and the zipper (which is horrible quality) got stuck."
• "Pretty disappointed in Amazon's lack of quality control with returns because this item should've been unsellable."
• "This SleepSack worked great for swaddling my son however, shortly after purchasing the seam on the back of the swaddle began to break."

Size & Fit

Pros:

• "She likes that her legs aren't restricted and she can move as freely as she wants."
• "We have both the fleece and cotton ones, cotton ones are soft and comfortable for summer."
• "The Halo Sleep Sack Swaddle is the best way we've found to keep his arms tucked by his sides so he can stay asleep."
• "This is my favorite swaddle! The inside zip-up sack keeps baby warm and the Velcro swaddle part keeps baby snug and secure!"
• "Soft, nice, 10/10 would buy again."
• "This size would even fit a smaller baby since the difference is mainly in the leg room."
• "I ordered size newborn and a small but my daughter can still fit in the newborn size @9 weeks with plenty of room to grow into it."

Cons:

• "It’s too much material, gets bunched up, but baby pops arms out of the swaddle way too easy."
• "The wraps are too long, even for my baby that is the max weight for the swaddle, and there's no way to get it tight tight."
• "Stretches after too much use/washes making it useless."
• "The newborn size has huge wings that are ridiculously hard to secure and the bottom part where the feet go is stupidly short."
• "My biggest complaint would be that even when swaddled he manages to get his arms out the bottom."
• "The wings are just WAY too long. Too much material to get tight."
• "I felt like it was a little too big for my 6 lb. baby."
