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.

If you're going to be using it in spring/summer, I'd recommend buying the cotton suit instead of the microfleece. Hands and feet are uncovered, so with a light onesie or just a diaper underneath, baby shouldn't be at risk of overheating.

That would probably be too warm. We sleep in cooler temps in our house (around 66F). The cotton blanket is thinner and would be better at those temps. I put my son in the cotton blanket during naps and the fleece at night.

Depends on climate. It is a cotton knit of medium thickness, which is currently used in the winter with fairly warm temp in the room. Will probably still use this in the summer since baby may be used to having it as night cover and I'm guessing it won't be too warm for her.

I didn't use it in winter, because I bought it February, but I can say, that it is very warm, I used it in rainy, windy and cold weather. was around 58 degree. And a baby was warmer always. But below 58 degree didn't yet used. Will try it next winter.

We live up in CT and we use it daily with another heavy blanket over the baby when the temps are in the teens & single digits. I would say it is perfect on its own (depending how you dress the baby) anywhere from 40's down to high 20's. If it is above 50 degrees or so, the baby may be too warm.

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!

We are currently using it right now. I think our baby does get a little warm with it on. We typically put her to bed in the suit and a onsie. With the air conditioner, she wakes up with sweaty feet and clammy skin, but doesn't complain when wearing it. In fact, she won't sleep at all without it.

Bring an extra blanket if using outside. I only used it indoors and it always keeps me warm. Never used it in extreme cold.

As long as you keep your house at the recommended AAP temperature and dress your baby appropriately underneath (light cotton pj or onesie) overheating should not be an issue. We have attached a link to a great article written by an RN regarding using the Magic Sleepsuit in warm weather that should answer any questions.

No I don't think that the baby would be too hot... it's deep but it's also wide and with plenty of air flow across the top. Plus you can always put the baby in a diaper or something light if you are afraid they will get too warm. But I don't hesitate to put our baby granddaughter in there and our temps are in the 90s.

I live in Maryland and have used the Arctic Bundleme on both of my kids with and without jackets. If your kid wears a coat and will keep his/her arms and head inside the bundleme the entire time you are out, then yes, they might get too warm. My kids were not content to keep arms and even heads inside the entire time we're out, so on very cold/windy days I put them in light jackets, gloves, hats, long pants and socks before placing them in the bundleme. Hope that helps.

yes, it will work well for new born baby. But I think it suitable for room temperature around 23 degree

If you mean, will it keep you warm when the temperature is below freezing, the answer is yes. Wear them under your regular clothing and use appropriate cold weather gear when outdoors.

Well I live in Seattle, so the temp hasn't gotten too high here- 60s- but we haven't had any problems with overheating. I probably wouldn't use it during the summertime unless you have air conditioning going- I keep their rooms between 68-70 and they're fine. I just put him in light cotton pjs-(carters 2piece pjs) and socks. I have noticed that the polyester type 2piece pjs seem to keep him on the warmer side, so intend not to put socks with those or only use those on colder nights. As it gets warmer I'll use it with just at shirt or onesie underneath. But once summer hits, I either switch to the thin cotton sleep sack or just put them to bed in their pjs. So it probably depends how hot it is where you live and how warm you keep your house but my son doesn't get overheated if his room is kept between that 65-70 mark. Hope that's helpful :)

I live in the south and it has been extremely hot here lately. But as long as you keep this inside in the air-conditioned space, it should be fine. My baby wears footed sleepers and lays in this bouncer and does not get too hot. I would NOT use this bouncer in a non air-conditioned space, the baby would definitely sweat/overheat.

Its definitely too warm in my opinion for the summer especially without a/c. Its a very thick material. Every baby is different however. You can always give it a try and if not return. Just know as other reviewers have pointed out it's essentially a snowsuit.
