Classic Mint Zipadee-Zip - Extra Small 3-6 Months

We were dreading the transition out of the swaddle when my baby was 3 months old and started showing signs of rolling. We were using an arms up swaddle and decided to give this a try - our baby absolutely loves it! He sleeps even better in this than the swaddle. I think he likes the ability to move around freely but it stifles his startle reflex enough that he doesn't wake himself up. From night one, he has consistently slept 7+ hour stretches in this since we transitioned him 3 weeks ago. It is on the thinner side so might not be good if your room runs cold. As other reviews mention, it does also somewhat bunch up around the chin if your baby is on the smaller side of the size guidelines, but this hasn't been much of an issue for us because we pair it with a breathing band around his waste which also happens to stop it from riding up.

Great size chart and good quality product

Amazing! We were nervous to transition baby out of the swaddle, but she took to this easily and it’s been a life-saver. It calms the sureties reflex slightly while allowing free arm movement in case of rolling. I’d recommend getting the snuggle strap (sold separately) to keep excess fabric down. Couple downsides: don’t love the fabric as it pills in the dryer. Secondly, I wish it had a double zipper. Even with those points, I’d recommend this in a heartbeat.

I love that it works, we’ve had a fairly easy transition from swaddle with a baby who couldn’t sleep without one but I dislike the fabric so much. Already so much piling and I haven’t even had it a month and she sweats pretty bad in it so it can’t be that breathable.

Unfortunately, my 4.5 month old is swimming in this even though it is labeled for 3-6 months. There is so much extra material around the neck/chest, I don’t trust it not to ride up over their face during sleep. It is also 100% polyester which feels cheap and isn’t breathable. I also purchased this in hopes of using it as a transition swaddle but there’s no restriction at all so if your child still has a startle reflex, this will not limit it at all. This is more of an “arms in” sleep sack than it is a transition swaddle. Complete waste of money.
