Description

Better sleep for you and your baby starts here. Designed with just the right amount of stretch, this cozy swaddle transition provides a secure, enclosed feel that helps calm the startle reflex while still allowing plenty of movement for healthy hip development. The unique star-shaped design offers a gentle sense of security, promoting deeper, more restful sleep. 

Why choose the Zipadee-Zip Swaddle Transition: 

  • A safer alternative once your baby starts to wiggle and roll.
  • Freedom of movement so your baby can safely push themselves up or roll over. 
  • Our unique starfish design mimics the cozy feeling of the womb to provide an extra level of comfort and security.
  • Designed based on safe sleep recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
  • Suitable for little ones 3 months–3 years.

FAQs

Is my baby ready for the Zipadee-Zip?

Is your baby waking up more often at night? Is your baby starting to roll over? If you’re nodding your head “yes”, it’s time to consider transitioning out of the swaddle. The Zipadee-Zip may be right for your baby if they meet the following criteria:

  • Your baby can/is trying to  roll over
  • Your baby is 3+ months
  • Your baby weighs at least 12 pounds
  • Your baby is breaking out of the swaddle

How do I make a successful transition out of the swaddle and into the Zipadee-Zip?

There a few things to keep in mind when ensuring a successful transition out the swaddle and into the Zipadee-Zip:

  • Ensure that there is slight resistance in the wing-span: This is a key element in helping babies feel secure once the swaddle is gone.
  • Use the Zipadee-Zip for naps first to ease into the transition; then build up to using it during the night.
  • Don’t try to use the Zipadee-Zip too soon: If your little one is still sleeping well while swaddled and is not trying to roll over back to front, it may be best to wait until they are showing signs they are ready for more freedom. Be sure to have the Zipadee-Zip on hand for when this happens though, as it literally can happen overnight!

How long does it take for the Zipadee-Zip to work?

Every baby is different, so results vary. However, most people see sleep improvements after 7-10 days. 

What do I do if my baby is in between sizes?

Make sure that you properly measured your babies height to ensure you are between sizes. If so, we recommend sizing down and purchasing a snuggle strap!

It’s just okay

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 Sleep

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

Amazing

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!

Will do what I need it to

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

Great transitional swaddle

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.

these are pure magic. it's worked for both of my children to get them out of the swaddle without losing sleep. i only wish i'd found it sooner with my first!

Sleeping through the night

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.

Total life saver!

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.

A winner but…

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.

Poor Quality and Overpriced

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.

Safe for rolling and suppresses startle!

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).

Baby Loves it!

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.

I’m dramatic.. but it changed my life!

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!

Works well for baby with dermatitis

Works well for baby with dermatitis, helps to prevent scratching in the night. Baby sleeps deeper also since using the swaddle belt.

These worked wonders with calming my oldest during the transition from a swaddle. Ordering more for my youngest now!

Product is ok, disappointed in customer service

I emailed the company after the first use of this product because the fabric was folding up over my baby's face. Never got a response. Thankfully I was able to get an answer on reddit from other parents with the same issue and the solution was to buy another product (the cuddle band). Why sell a basically defective product that doesn't work unless you buy another component that's not included? Put a bad taste in my mouth and will not purchase more products from this company, I got recommendations for similar but cheaper sleep sacks that work better. These ones are fine for now but overpriced and I wouldn't recommend.

I see a rep replied to your email on the 1st of December requesting your order number and the child height. I apologize if you missed this email but I can assure you a follow up occured.

Thank you

It is too big and I got the smallest size possible! My daughter weighs about 10 lbs and is 14 weeks old, and when she lifts her arms, it covers her mouth. And in general, when I've tried it for naps, i get nervous because it's big and it is close to her mouth! It is just not for me. I like the color and the feel of it though.

We love this transition swaddle! Just bought two more. My 4 month old loves having his “arms free” but still covered up, and hes able to stretch and move freely as he sleeps. Highly recommend.
