Baby Products Reviews of Kiddopotamus Snuzzler Complete Head and Body Support, Ivory Fleece & Navy Trim
Customer Review: Great Purchase- Worth It for Us
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this on sale for my third baby and I wish it had been around when I had my other two children!
My infant weighed a nice amount as a newborn and this car seat insert provided him with a lot of cushioning and support even though he was robust. I recently passed it on to a friend with a very small newborn and she raves about how much support it gives her baby as well.
This item is easily adjustable and easily can be taken out of the car seat and transferred to a stroller. When my son didn't need as much support in the car seat I kept it in the stroller. It cradled him nicely and kept him warm on cold days.
If your baby is average size for a newborn, you will probably use this item for 2-3months, if he/she is smaller then you will need it longer.
Customer Review: Especially perfect for preemies
Summary: 5 Stars
My son was born 5 weeks early, therefore, the hospital required a "car seat test" before I could take him home (to make sure he wouldn't stop breathing in the car seat).
I placed the Snuzzler in his car seat before the test. An hour later, the respiratory therapist came back and said he passed with flying colors... especially with the "little infant support" I had placed in the car seat. They said it really supported his little body and allowed his head and torso to stay in position exactly as it should. Further, they said it worked a lot better than the head supports that usually come with the car seat because it not only held his head in place, but it kept his torso from leaning to one side or the other.
What a great product! Highly recommended!
Customer Review: Not one flop
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great product and it really works!! It doesn't take up space behind baby, it just takes up the space between the side of the car seat and the baby. I don't know the mechanics of it but not once since we put this in the car seat has her head flopped. We took it out to wash it, went out before it dried and it stayed home. As soon as she fell asleep in the car without the Snuzzler- *flop*. Btw it washed beautifully and still looks brand new. The warm fuzzy side seems to keep her very cozy in our cold weather. As far as safety you can tell it doesn't add any bulk or come between the baby and the straps.
I doubted the Snuzzler's claims, bought it, and LOVE it. If I have more kids I'll consider it a necessity and if they could talk they'd probably say the same.
Customer Review: Nice product, but unsafe in car seats!
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a nice item that supports and cushions a young infant. The padding is well placed to keep a baby's head stabile. It's great in a stroller, swing, bouncer seat, reclining highchair and even jogging stroller. It is well cushioned and allows for safety straps to be used. However car seat experts warn that the additional cushion between a child and car seat will compress in a crash and cause the restraint to be less effective. Car seats are not tested with aftermarket products and using them could void your warranty and release the manufacturer from liability if your child is hurt. Although it's tempting to slip this into a car seat, a rolled receiving blanket on each side of baby's head is safer--save this for use in the house or stroller!Customer Review: Love, Love, Love It!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one baby product I couldn't live without. I used it in my son's infant seat from the time he was a newborn until about 3 months and then I just used the headrest part of it for a little while longer. It is a great product and it really secures and cradles the baby while they are in their carseat. And the material that is actually behind the baby's head and body is actually very thin and would not interfere with the safety of the carseat during a crash. It is reversible and can used during both summer and winter. My son was born in the very hot month of August and I used the Snuzzler with the blue side facing out and he was never too hot. I definately recommend this product to anyone with a newborn. It would make a great baby shower gift too.
