HALO® Small Sunshine Rainbow 2-in-1 SleepSack® Swaddle in Pink

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely easier than a traditional swaddle. Baby zips into the sack, then you swaddle their arms, or don’t! It’s light weight but keeps them warm. Easy to clean. Also easy to change baby without unswaddling them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love all the halo sleep sacks. Our baby loves to be swaddled and we swaddle every night and for brisk walks outside.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased 2 Halo swaddles for my newborn granddaughter, and my daughter told me they were the BEST ones she received. So I sent her 2 more. They’re very SOFT, snug, easy to use, and have beautiful designs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To be honest I have never used this, I bought it as a gift for an expecting friend. BUT before buying it I messaged my sister who now has a 3 year old. I asked what was one thing she had for her newborn daughter that she couldn’t have lived without and she said this swaddle. She said she thinks this was the reason her baby was such a good sleeper and sleeping through the night so quickly. So I immediately got one for my friend and started to wander if they come in adult sizes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these swaddles! They are the only thing that will keep our little one asleep. When we started using them her nighttime sleep went up to 6-8 hours and her daytime naps went from 20 min to 1.5 hours!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this sleep sack for my daughter. It’s perfect for transition from a Swaddle to sleep sack!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter constantly got out of regular blanket swaddles, then I switched to these and she slept more soundly. I’ve recommended to all my pregnant friends and will always swear by HALO products.

I want to start by saying that I was very excited by ordering this product for our baby. It seems to have consistently good reviews and be fairly highly regarded. Unfortunately, this was not our experience. The Sleep Sack Swaddle does have a few great parts of it’s design going for it. This includes the zipper which zips from bottom to top to make diaper changes in the night easier, strong and secure Velcro, nice feeling and light-weight material, and featuring a cute design on the swaddle itself. The first flaw I will note about the product which I don’t think affected our experience but definitely could for some, is the use of actual tags in the garment. Many companies have chosen to label their products using a more printed on fashion rather than a physical tag, but somehow Halo seems not to have kept current with this. The printed labels serve to prevent babies becoming upset because they can be overly sensitive to things such as labels in clothing. The biggest flaw for us and ultimately the reason we do not like the product is because the wings which are used to swaddle our baby are absolutely massive. They are far too long to swaddle our baby with properly. I have tried to Google solutions for this and have tried the very few suggestions out there to be able to swaddle our baby tighter without any success. Since the swaddle is not able to be done up snug enough, our baby is able to raise her arms up toward her face and with them, so comes the wings used to swaddle. This causes the fabric of the wings to gather around her face creating a very unsafe sleep environment. We bought this version because we wanted to be able to swaddle. This may work better as a sleep sack as there is no way we would be able to get the wings tight enough around our baby for a swaddling effect on either her arms or body when her arms are out. Our baby does like to be swaddled and we have had success with another brand of swaddle.
