We started out with a different swaddle wrap, which we loved, but when it "died", I decided to try the Halo Sleep Sack with Swaddle.  We found this to be perfect for our 1 month old baby.  It kept him warm, since you're no longer supposed to place infants under loose blankets.  The swaddle feature was great; without using the swaddle, Alex was not a good sleeper.  With the swaddle, he slept as well as one would expect for a small baby.

The Sleep Sack with Swaddle has fasteners to keep the swaddle in place, so there are no worries about the swaddle (which is technically a separate piece) sliding up and over baby's head.  I wish that the swaddle feature was available on larger sizes of the Sleep Sack.  Our little guy outgrew the newborn Sleep Sack before outgrowing his desire to be swaddled.

Another thing worth mentioning is the ease of changing diapers during the night while using this swaddle.  Since the zipper opens from the bottom, you can leave baby's arms swaddled while opening the bottom of the Sleep Sack for a diaper change.

Overall, we found this product to be durable, a little more expensive than another brand, but worth the cost for the durability and safety.

just wanted to say that two nights ago my daughter almost suffocated with this fleece sleepsack, i had the fright of my life!!! It was around 5 am, i heard her whining through the monitor so i assumed after 4 hours with no food she was hungry...so i went to make her a bottle (without passing her room...btw she is 2 months old) then i heard her screaming...again i thought she was just hungry, so i walked down the hall to her room, and in her crib found the WHOLE attached flap over her shoulders covering her WHOLE face!! and let me just say that me and husband cover her tightly with this swaddle attachment!! i had a shock, it was horrible, and now i am confused as to how to keep her safe...so what happened was that she kept lifting her arms till she got it over her shoulders...i am very dissapointed with this product, we are thinking maybe to make some holes at the bottom or to sew it, i don't know maybe i just need to throw it away...
