Review of HALO SleepSack Wearable Blanket - MicroFleece Swaddle

We are huge fans of the swaddle.Both of our daughters have benefited from it, and it has helped up get a lot of extra sleep!We have used everything from basic blankets, the swaddle me, a receiving blanket then topped with the swaddle me (really holds them in-but they have to be dressed minimally underneath there), the miracle blanket and now this.This is a great idea!

PROS
1. Heavy duty velcro stays on securely-I do not think they could get the velcro undone
2. Allows for the arms to be swaddled, but isn't too tight on them
3. Allows for access to the diaper easily for those middle of the night changes
4. The swaddle part is removeable if you just want to use the sack
5. washes very well and holds up to repeated use
6. it is the only swaddling product I have found that doesn't require much effort to put on, thus doesn't wake up the drowsy or sleeping baby (IF the sack itself is already on-we open up the swaddle part in the middle of the night for our 7 week old's feedings, and if she dozes off, we can quickly and easily swaddle her back up and not disturb her)

CONS
1. the legs are pretty free in there-if your child needs his or her legs to be secure also, this may not be the thing, but I haven't found that to be an issue with too many people
2. it is small and so far only sold in newborn size.Our 7 week old is very long for her age, and she really still needs to be swaddled but is outgrowing the sack in length.I am contemplating sewing patches on the back of our larger sleep sacks so that we can use the swaddle portion on those, but it would be nice if they made it in a larger size.
