Sleeping Baby Animal Friends Zipadee-Zip Swaddle Transition

Seen this on shark tank bought some for my baby as a newborn and he slept peacefully and warm.

It’s okay- but there’s not a double zipper for changes. & it pills after one wear. I don’t think it was worth the price at all though. It’s pretty lightweight though. That’s nice.

Good quality ❤️ my daughter isn’t the biggest fan of it though

Love these so much we bought multiple colors. Very warm and the size is perfect. 10/10 great product for cold winters.

I really do not regret buying this. I like how light weight and roomy it is for my girl. She is rolling now and is definitely a belly sleeper. This allows her to roll and sleep comfortably. I like that her hands are covered so she doesn’t get cold.
I just wish it had a dual zipper for diaper changes. Over all I feel like it’s a great product and I’m happy with it as a transitional swaddle

My baby hated sleeping in the bassinet, and hated being swaddled. This has given her full range of her arms and legs. I started sleep training her in this, and now she always sleeps 45 minutes or longer! Will definitely be ordering the bigger size when she grows out of it!

I was looking for a transitional swaddle and this will likely work for my baby. I like that it gives him access to his hands without him breaking out of a tight swaddle. However, the quality doesn’t seem like it will last through multiple children and the stitching feels unfinished

Needed to transition my baby out of the swaddle since he started rolling. I didnt like the other sleep sacks which kept the babys arms up. It just seems unnatural to me. I like that my baby still has free movement for the most part in this, and if he rolls, he can push himself up if needed. Its a cotton jersey material and it does the job. My LO seems to like it. The zipper does bunch up by his face, so i gather it with a scrunchie or elastic band.

This was perfect for transitioning out of the love to dream transition swaddle. He can no longer safely be in that swaddle but LOVES to have his hands/arms covered so this is perfect. There’s a new version with a different fabric that has a double zipper and I wish this fabric had it too.

After having trouble gettin our 6 month old to sleep after we stopped using a weighted sleep sack, we went to social media and asked for advice. At that time he was only sleeping 1-2 hours at a time and it felt like we went back to the newborn stage.

So many friends recommended this and so we ordered right away. A literal game changer! Our son sleeps in his crib in this every night without any issues. He actually got really upset when we tried another sleep bag recently for his nap time and I had to go in and swap it out to this.

Now we have no issues with sleep. I love the pattern and the fabric is lightweight enough for them to sleep in without overheating but warm enough that they won’t be cold.

We tried this and the baby Merlin as a transition from swaddling to our Woolino at 12 weeks and this was the clear winner so we now have two. Our guy loves it because he’s big on rolling from side to side in his sleep (he’s a side sleeper, I guess) and sometimes winds up on his tummy but is safe. We just moved him into his crib at 16 weeks and he’s still happily sleeping in it at night.

My one issue is the material, as others have said. It’s already snagging and poor quality despite being a baby product which gets washed often. I wish they made this in a nicer material and included a thicker version for cooler nights, especially at this price point, but what can you do.

While this works ok as a swaddle transition, it wasn't the miracle product others seem to have found. Honestly he didn't sleep any better or longer in this than in other sleep sacks.

The main issue is that it is SO cheaply made with the lowest quality fabric you can imagine. Please look at the above picture for how it looks after a few weeks of use and just a couple of washes! For something half the price I would be disappointed. As others have noted, the belt is also thin, cheap and loses usability within a few washes. The dollar store sells items that are better quality than that thing!

It does look very cute on, like a wing suit. So if you want to imagine your baby is about to base jump off the Matterhorn, this is a good choice. And worked equally well to cosplay a ninja, samurai or little Shaolin monk. So there's Halloween sorted!

Unfortunately I would not buy this again since there just isn't a point to paying over for the brand version. I think I would just buy one of the many half priced imitations out there since the quality could not possibly be lower. It's a shame, since I imagine it would only cost the company a few dollars more to use a hardier fabric and this increase their sales and reputation, but apparently Penny pinching is their top priority here! Disappointing.

Our little man was a swaddle addict (he was in the halo Velcro swaddle) at around 3 months he wasn’t quite rolling yet but we wanted to get ahead on the transition in case he started to. His reflex was still insanely strong! The first night he was up more often than usual from his hands waking him (about 2-3 more wake-up’s), but by the second night he was adjusted and I could tell his reflex was already dampening just from practicing slightly unrestrained sleep.

Now that he’s rolling he can comfortably get onto his stomach in this and sleeps like a dream! I do recommend buying the cuddle strap separately to keep the fabric from bunching around their face (it’s also great for making that swaddle transition because it gives them a similar sensation around their mid section). I’d recommend this to anyone trying to get their baby out of a swaddle! I was so scared of the transition and this made it as smooth as possible. (And believe me… we tried it all).

Do you want your baby to sleep at least 6 hours at night transitioning from a swaddle then buy this! We tried the magic Merlin suit and our little guy seemed to be overheating in it at night. With this he is able to wear a sleeper comfortably under and not be too hot. When I say that the first night we used this he slept for the first time ever 6 hours straight it’s no lie. When we woke to him for a feeding we were so surprised it was 6 hours later. He also naps well in the day as he likes to have his hands by his face. He was breaking out of his swaddles no matter how hard, or tight we made them because he wanted his hands up. This helps drastically with his Moro reflex but keeps him warm and hands able to go to his face. It does bunch up so at night we used the little band they sell and it worked like a charm. It didn’t bunch up like some of the reviews say, but during the day we have just watched him to make sure the bunching up doesn’t go into his face. I recommend buying that for piece of mind. Also go by length not weight when buying it.

My daughter started sleeping through the night (11pm-6am) around 8 weeks while being swaddled. When she started trying to roll over, I was obviously worried about the swaddling so I stopped around 11 weeks. Immediately she started waking up 4-5 times a night and it was exhausting. My friend had posted her baby in one of these and sent me the link and I had it in my cart for at least 2 weeks debating it. Now I’m so annoyed I didn’t just get it right away! The first night was a little rough (it says to start with a nap time but I didn’t do that) but after that first night, it was a total 180°. She loves being in it and having the ability to move around and is now back to sleeping 6+ hours at a time. She is finally able to nap on her own and not needing me to hold her (which she has never done) and is napping for 1.5 hours or more. The amount of time it takes me to get her to sleep has gone way down too! What used to be a 30 minute process, I just did in literally 4 minutes. I have never written a review for anything before but after that, I knew I needed to share. If you’re on the fence, just do it!

I returned this the first time, before even trying it. It’s thin and looks big. Thought no way this is going to work for my 5m swaddle-loving Snoo baby.

Night 1 of sleep training, Asleep within minutes only 1 pop in. Night 2, no pop ins. Night 3, slept 6 hours straight, no pop ins and so on. Its much easier for him to self soothe in this compared to arms out sacks.

We also have a helmet so the material is great for that (not too warm compared to other transition swaddles).

Fabric is low quality

This is actually my second sleep sack purchased, we started when baby was around 6 weeks old and now he’s 16 weeks! He always hated being swaddled and having his arms down, but would always startle himself / his arms would keep him up and immediately this made a huge difference. Soft, breathable and really does what it’s supposed to. Highly highly recommend!

It’s a very comfortable sleep sack, especially if your little one just wants to be in something light for the summer night

Some fabric pulling especially as baby likes to munch on his hands.

The design is good so it’s great for our baby in the transitional stage. However the fabric is not very breathable.

This is a great transition swaddle but I can't get over why it's so expensive and it's not even cotton!!!!🤦🏼‍♀️ I do not like putting my kids in polyester but that's the only option so- just seems like a rip off!

Our little one was really struggling with other methods to transition out of his swaddle (one arm out, both arms out, and other sleep sacks weren't working as he'd wake up easily and cry hard). We wanted to transition him straight to something that would be safe for rolling so we wouldn't have to deal with another intermediate transition item, and this worked great! The fabric is soft and stretchy so he can reach his mouth with his hands to self-soothe. We bought the snuggle-strap to secure around his waist and we're glad we did as it not only provides some extra comfort but keeps the top part of the zipper/fabric from bunching up around his face and mouth when he moves since he's a very active and wiggly sleeper. We were so happy with it we bought a second one. Highly recommend if you're struggling with the swaddle transition!

Best sleep sack after transition from the halo swaddle. Material is thin and comfortable too.

Kids have been using them for years … 6 grandbabies
