Baby Products Reviews of Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe Microfleece, Small, Ivory
Customer Review: Good concept, imperfect execution
Summary: 3 Stars
The SwaddleMe wrap is a really smart concept, almost a touch of genius, unfortunately the wrap itself is not well made and feels very cheap. (BTW, the fleece is for cold days and get the cotton knit for warm days, otherwise you baby's gonna overheat.) I guess to sell it for $9.99, they have to cut corners, and where they cut would have mattered a lot: fabric quality and durability, ease of use, longevity of the velcro tabs. After a couple wash cycles the thing feels even flimsier. I really applaud the design but abhor the actual implementation. I'd gladly pay $20 for one if they made the quality much better.Customer Review: After 2 kids: my ideal gift for others expecting
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this product. Struggled with swaddling using blankets despite the nurses' best efforts to teach me. First son tended to punch through the blanket, ruining my swaddle attempts. Converted to this product when he was about 8 weeks old and fell in love with it. Just had baby number two and this time I brought the swaddler to the hospital: so much easier! This is now part of our standard gift pack for baby showers for friends. Indispensable!
I'd also like to recommend the Snuza Halo SIDS monitor: something we've used for both babies and so important for safety and peace of mind, check it out.
Customer Review: Change the diaper while the arms are swaddled!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this on a whim and did not realise its advantages at the time - but it is great! The diaper compartment velcroes open so you can keep the top of the baby swaddled and warm while you change him - Jack loves that. The 'Teddy Tabs' - bear-shaped velcro tabs - are adorable - we get so many complements on it. Jack wiggles out of normal blankets. Swaddling is recommended by SIDS organisations and to calm babies. I often use this as a first layer and a couple of blankets wrapped around him when I'm carrying him in inclement weather (as the blankets inevitably loosen). Definitely recommended.Customer Review: A newborn must have!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a lightweight material that really swaddles baby tightly and has velcro to ensure that the blanket stays secure. My son cannot sleep for long periods of time without being swaddled because he jumps in his sleep and his arms wake him up....not the problem when he is swaddled. Regular blankets don't do the trick, they can be easily unwrapped and you will find yourself re-swaddling constantly. The only down side is the velcro wears after only a few washes and the baby can easily wiggle out but well worth the $9.99 price tag. I would suggest only using this blanket up until the 3rd month.Customer Review: It's OK
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this because I had heard swaddling would help infants sleep. My son hated to be swaddled but my daughter loved it. I went searching for a swaddle blanket and came upon these. They really come undone way too quickly for my tastes and they don't neccesarily lay right so it always seemed as if I was pushing it down to keep the blanket from covering her nose. Plus the noise from the velcro would startle my daughter and wake her instead of a "quiet" diaper change. I prefer the Miracle Blanket, a lot more $$ but definitely worth the price. She was swaddled until she was 4 months old.
