My granddaughter sleeps better with her arms and body swaddled but she is outgrowing her swaddles. Could I zip up this sack with her arms inside?

Technically yes but this sleep sack is loose so her arms would be free to move and likely tangled in the arm holes. I wouldn't recommend it.

It is indeed thick which is what helps keep them feeling snug similar to the swaddling effect. I've found that dressing my daughter in just a short-sleeve onesie and no socks and keeping the temp of the room btwn 69-70 degrees all winter has worked well and she doesn't get overheated. Heat escapes through the hand and feet openings, plus her neck is still exposed for ventilation. In fact, on very cold nights I added socks while she slept when her feet seemed too cold and was grateful she was cozy in the suit. We started her in the suit at 4 months old - she's now 6 months and has slept comfortably in it every single night!

Yes... if the sleeping bag was in a compression sack, the tent was small, and you didn't need to fit much else in there.

yes, my daughters both wore them until about 2 1/2! - it was part of their night routine, and they would walk in them in their crib, but never tried to climb out. I didn't buy the one with foot holes, they just had the XL size. As soon as my babies were done swaddling (about 3 months) we went through every size of sleep sack up to XL!

Yes, my little one rolls all over the crib in this sleep sack. She can also stand up and walk a little in it. There is a lot of room in the leg area.

It depends on your son's size. If they are close to outgrowing the XL regular sleep sack, then this would be the way to go. Even if they still fit well into a regular sleep sack it wouldn't hurt to get one of these with the feet holes as they will fit in it longer. The only downside I have found is that my daughter will occasionally get two feet stuck in one foot hole.

Of course not, but I also believe she deserves a good nights sleep, and this did not provide that for her! Way too FIRM! As I said before, she might as well have been sleeping on a slab of concrete. My child deserves both the most comfortable, as well as a safe design. This product may be safe, but does not meet the standards for any type of comfort.

I put them in various other clothes, totally depending on how warm or cold the room is going to be. Usually I would put my kids in the Carter's fleece pj's with the feet, no sack, for most of the year - temp around 70 (we live in SoCal). If it would be colder than 70 then I would use the Sleep Sack and a long sleeve onesie/pants or some cooler pj's. If it is going to be really cold then both the fleece jammies and the Sleep Sack. Just use your common sense!!

As others have answered a swaddle blanket would be best for wrapping arms and hands. Our son startled himself awake for awhile too. This is a reflex and your baby will outgrow this stage.

I might go with the Halo sleep sack swaddler ( not the sleeveless one but the one that keeps their arms secured) because it had different sizes including newborn.

No. My little niece is about that age and size now. She outgrew the bean bag a couple of months ago. It was great and she liked it. She's too big now.

No. The toddler sleep sack has the feet holes so a child is still physically able to move and walk quite normally. The sleepsack is not made to confine a child. Just keep them covered safely.

Better than a sleeping bag but nowhere near an air mattress. A kid would b OK sleeping on it every now and then (sleepover) but not on a regular basis

I assume it shouldn't be that roomy since it's supposed to hinder their startle reflex. However my daughter is tiny and it's really big on her. If your baby liked being swaddled they will probably like a tighter fit.

That is a difficult question to answer since people have different warmth requirements. The sleep sack takes the place of a blanket. If you use a light blanket now this could be used instead. They also sell a heavier weight if you currently use a heavier blanket.

No it's not, I added extra padding however the extra padding I have sits underneath the baby lounge. I wouldn't want to put my child at risk for suffocation putting blankets on the inside.

Yes, my kid was like that. He hated to have his arms swaddled mostly because he would spend his time trying to get out of it. And as long as he could get a little bend in his elbow he would get frustrated and cry. This blanket solved that problem for me. It helps keep their arms straight so he didn't waste his time fighting it. The first time I put it on him he was upset, but then after that, there was no problem. Was a life saver for me...
