Will this keep the baby warm in sub-zero temperatures - how warmly does the baby need to be dressed underneath? We're in Boston.

We live near Pittsburgh, PA. It gets cold very cold here some times in the single digits. When I used it for my granddaughter I never put anything underneath it, just the clothes she was wearing. I loved this for my granddaughter. I think you would be fine and wouldn't be disappointed in your purchase. If you are out for long periods of times like taking a walk ... I think you would need something else, but just going from your house to your car or your care into stores or taking to sitters you will be fine or even walking a few blocks. It is very warm inside.

I have 3 month old twins and used with my 3 and 4 yr old in chgo and put them in those fleece one piece jackets during colder temps and they were always warm. The sleepinh bag styles are reported not to be safe in an accident.

Keeping the "shade" part open to just have the netting covering your baby should keep it cooler inside. Putting the solid covering over will make it quite warmer in there. I wouldn't recommend that during summer heat

I think so... it is very lightweight, and stays inflated with a fan that continuously runs and blows into the suit. Halloween is pretty cold in New England, and my daughter had to layer up quite a bit underneath to stay warm. Hope this helps!

I'd say the coat is perfect for those temps. It will keep you warm without being too hot. I'd use a good, breathable under layer too.

We live in Denver and turn our thermostat down to 62 degrees at night. This was WAY too warm for that, so we tried 59 degrees. That was better, but still too warm. I wish this comforter came in a light warmth - it's a really, really nice one, just too warm for us.

It's pretty warm without being too hot. She slept in it all summer with a onesie on. As it's gotten cooler out, we actually dress our little girl in normal PJ's with feet. She doesn't get overheated. She typically sleeps 10 hours at night now and takes a two hour nap during the day. We have two suits now... one for home and one for daycare. It's the best $40 we've spent so far on baby stuff! Definitely worth a shot!

Yes it is warmer but I haven't noticed my kiddos getting too hot in it...unless we end up co sleeping in the middle of the night. Usually when I use the sleep sack I don't do a blanket sleeper and then the fleece sack. I go for something a little thinner and lightweight and then the fleece. If I put a blanket sleeper on I just opt out of the sleep sack...or I just put a long sleeve onesie on under it all. Hope this helps!

It depends on the temperature in your house. We keep our baby's room at around 72 degrees. At night, she wears a sleeper under the halo and during the day usually a long sleeve onesie. It just depends on your baby and their temperature preference.

This thing holds in heat fairly well, so you won't need to wrap the baby up in blankets when it is warm out. Truthfully, the main temperature problem is you. You will heat your baby up, because they will be right up against your body. We found that was sometimes a little too much warmth for extended trips when baby was 1 month old, but even at 3 months it is no longer a problem.

I have not owned it during the winter, but I do not think it will be very useful as bugs are not a concern and the sun is not as much a problem. Because of the side vents, I do not think it would keep the baby significantly warmer in cold temperatures.

By themselves, not very. What's your definition of cold? And what would you be wearing? Street clothes or snowsuit with thermal base layer? Bottom line, if you're just casually prepared, I would say 40's or 50's overnight, with heat loss through ground contact being the major concern. If you have skills and getting through the night was your priority, you could make it work at any temperature above freezing. By skills, I mean actual cold weather training, not wishful thinking.

Yes, momma cat and her full size baby were in there on a cold night in garage, I suggest getting the heater that fits in the condo, I don't think they would have gone in if it wasn't real warm in there, put my hand in the condo and they were both toasty warm, and it was about 20 degrees in garage

I live in the Pacific Northwest... not too cold, but LOTS of rain. It is made out of water repellent canvas (not rubber)and quilted material underneath, so unlike the former respondent... I'd say, "Yes, it IS breathable", or it'd be WAY to warm to wear in our mild winters. I like this coat, and bought a second one so the first one can dry out on rainy days.

My son definately gets hot in this, but I usually just have him in a onsie and try not to be out I. The 90 degree weather. My so. Is hot blooded so I also put an ice pack between him and I.

I don't know about below O temps. my weather only gets down to about 28. But I do have some very young about two month old Silkie babies in mine and the temperatures dropped down to 28 three day in a row and they are fine.

It's 2 layers of fairly heavy canvas. However, the baby isn't wrapped up in the fabric, and there's plenty of room for air flow to keep the baby cool. You may have sweat on your back in summer, but nobody said parenting was glamourous ;)
