Baby Products Reviews of HALO SleepSack 100% Organic Cotton Swaddle, CowboyCustomer Review: Should be recalled - use the SwaddleMe wrap instead Summary: 1 Stars
This product should be recalled. I filed a complaint with the consumer protection agency. It's sold based on the premise of reducing SIDS by using it as a blanket.
My husband and I were horrified to check on our child in the middle of the night (our movement sensor alarm went off because he had stopped breathing!!) to see all this material bunched up tightly around his throat and face!!! I was angry, and felt guilty for trusting the claims of this product. (I've now seen several reviewers say the same thing about other colors/sizes of this same product).
I loved the idea of this combo sleepsack/swaddle and we had been using SwaddleMe wraps with no problem (except that our baby would sometimes breakout of them).
I put our child in the sleepsack/swaddle a second time so I could watch (supervised) how the material ended up bunched up around his face. The swaddle part velcroes tightly to the back of the sleepsack. Then, you wrap the arms around the baby and velcro the arms to each other.
Even with a tight swaddle, and with the swaddle arms velcroed as low as they will go on the back of the sleepsack... if the child bends their legs up at all, their fingers can start to feel the bottom of the swaddle arms. Then, the baby can work their fingers and arms out from the bottom of the swaddle arms (especially if you have an active baby). The result is that the swaddle part bunches up around their neck and face extremely tightly, because it is still secured tightly to the back of the sleepsack with a large chunk of velcro and a tab at the back of the sleepsack.
There is nothing to keep the front of the swaddle arms attached securely and safely down on the front of the sleepsack.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
HALO: should recall the current sleepsack/swaddlers and add velcro and/or snaps and tabs on the front of the swaddle arms to attach it to the sleepsack to keep it in place.
PARENTS should use the "SwaddleMe" wrap instead for a safer swaddle option. There is less material, and the baby's legs pull down on the swaddle, so it keeps any loose material away from baby's face if the baby manages to break out. (With this HALO sleepsack/swaddle, the baby's legs don't help pull down on the swaddle arms).
