Product Description
Pediatricians recommend swaddling to comfort and soothe newborns, but loose blankets are difficult to keep snug. SwaddleMe wings have Velcro tabs, to wrap up your newborn and stay comfortably in place. As baby grows, wings readjust for a perfect fit. SwaddleMe wings are easily opened to prevent overheating, and the leg pouch can be popped down for a quick diaper checking or changing. SwaddleMe can also be used in the car seat, simply insert car seat harnesses through the access slits!
Editorial Review
Pediatricians know that even the fussiest, wiggliest infants can settle down in minutes—or seconds—when swaddled. But parents know just how difficult it can be to trap those little octopuses in the very thing that's supposed to calm them. Enter SwaddleMe! This handy little piece of ivory colored fleece allows parents to contain their newborn snugly (not tightly) with adjustable side wings and a leg pouch. Velcro tab closure allows for a good fit, even as baby grows. The leg pouch pops down for easy diaper checks and changes—all while baby's arms remain securely wrapped. Winner of the iParenting Media Award, and featured in Parenting Magazine, August 2003. The incredibly soft 100% polyester microfleece is machine washable (read care instructions for specifics). Line dry. --Emilie Coulter
Amazon.com Product Description
Pediatricians know that swaddling babies has multiple benefits. It can calm a fussy infant in minutes, it can reduce colic by recreating the womb, it can ease startle reflex that wakes them, and it can even reduce the risk of SIDS by helping little ones sleep through the night. But those pediatricians aren't the ones having to wrestle a wiggly infant into a swaddled state. Parents know how difficult it can be to accomplish this, especially with loose blankets. Luckily, Kiddopotamus has just the thing: their SwaddleMe adjustable wrap. This ingenious covering snugly-not tightly-holds baby through a system of self-fasteners that can adjust to provide a comfortable fit as baby grows.  | | An easy, three-step process has baby bundled and calm in seconds. | How it works
Align baby's shoulders with the contoured top of the open SwaddleMe and tuck their legs inside the leg pouch. Wrap the left wing over baby's torso, tuck it around baby's left arm, and attach the fabric fastener to the leg pouch. Place the right wing over the left and secure with fabric fasteners. NOTE: The fabric should never cover baby's mouth or nose. The simplicity of SwaddleMe is enough to sell most parents, but Kiddopotamus went the extra mile on convenience, too. The leg pouch folds down for easy diaper checks and changes-while baby's arms remain cozily secure. SwaddleMe has a harness slit on its back that allows it to be placed in car seats, strollers, and swings for babies on the move. Based on your location, or the time of year that baby will use SwaddleMe, the comfy contraption is available in three different fabrics-lightweight microfleece, cotton flannel, and knit cotton-and a slew of colors and patterns. Sizes
The SwaddleMe is available in three, offering a perfect fit for whatever stage you need: preemie is for babies weighing 3-7 pounds; small is for babies weighing 7-14 pounds; and large is for babies weighing 15-22 pounds. These sizes are meant to be only a guideline as babies' girth can vary.

A good tool for new parents April 18, 2008
I think the Miracle Blanket is a better bang for the buck, but this is a nice easy solution for new parents. Watch/read "Happiest Baby on the Block" as well.
Keeps Squirmers Properly Swaddled February 6, 2008
This is easy to use and keeps our little one warm. It was just a little big for the first couple weeks and we needed to fold the top down so it didn't cover her face. Given how much she squirms, the Kiddopotamus does a much better job of keeping her swaddled than a blanket.
 Runs very small and not a winner for us! January 21, 2008

I am useless at swaddling...I could never get it right and conventional blankets do not always lend well to this so based on reviews I bought a bunch of these!
We were so impressed on our first use...it was so easy to use, nice and cozy, very soft...all was well!! We had a calm, happy baby!
But one wash - cold cycle - and it had shrunk significantly!!! Add to that it runs very small indeed! Our little one was less than 6lbs at birth - small is designed for 'birth through three months" according to Kiddopotamus, yet this was good for all of two weeks, after which point it did not even meet the shoulders! So a baby that is born at the average 7lbs may be too big for the newborn size!
It also bobbled up after just one wash making it look old quickly!
It does work well in terms of swaddling, but the quality is simply not there...so if you chose to buy, pick a larger size or maybe look at other brands if you want a quality, lasting product!
Personally we found a sleep sack a better pick and offloaded the rest on ebay rather than even removing them from the pack!
 Great for BAby's closets! January 2, 2008
I bought this as a shower gift for a friend. She absolutely loved it!
Keeps baby warm and cozy December 30, 2007
This product is pretty easy to use, and baby likes being wrapped up in it. He sleeps soundly for a couple hours at a time (he's only a few weeks old) and I don't have to worry about anything coming undone to block his breathing. Love the price too!
