JJ Cole Wearable Blanket, Green Birds, 6-12 Months

Pros: Cotton, not too thick for L.A. weather (summer), modern looking, zippers are very functional and easy to use, room for growth, and easy to wash.Cons: The velcro tab at the collar comes loose pretty easily. My little one likes to tug on the velcro tab. I can see this tab wearing out quickly. But this is a minor inconvenience. Blanket could be a little thicker for colder weather use.Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase. I would recommend this product to parents looking for a wearable blanket that is not too thick and very stylish.

This wearable blanket is really cute. While it isn't my favorite, it still gets regular use in our house.Pros:- Good price compared to other wearable blankets- Nice medium-weight cotton fabric. I like to use this one when it is too cool for a cotton muslin blanket, but too warm for a fleece blanket.- Cute printCons:- The velcro closure at the top wears out fairly quickly. We haven't had any problems with it, but it is a little disappointing.- The zipper closure around the bottom of the blanket is annoying. I get the tag caught in the zipper almost every time I go to zip it up. I prefer the straight zipper down the middle as on other blankets/ sleeping bags.Bottom line- Decent wearable blanket for the price if you don't mind a few minor annoyances.

I really like this, the design is cute, and it's light weight. I like that you can open the bottom for nighttime diaper changes without taking the whole thing off. My only frustration is the zipper was clearly a design over function choice. It's a tiny little zipper pull that is very hard to get started. If they beefed up the zipper a little I would be 100% happy with this.

This is a nice alternative to swaddling once your baby gets larger and the weather gets warmer... but good gracious, it's gigantic. I pulled it out of the package and it looked like an adult-sized dress. It did fit around my baby's arms and neck comfortably (he's 10 weeks and not very big), but it seemed like there was an extra yard of fabric at the bottom. I think it'll fit him for a good long while, so that's a plus.

Like the other reviewers, I was drawn to the cute designs and innovative details like the asymmetrical zipper (zips along the bottom, too!) and vents in back (allows you to check a diaper w/o unzipping). However, the actual product was very disappointing. After only a few washes, the seam along the bottom came unraveled, and the printed design began to fade. The collar is trimmed with a cheap polyester blend material, very rough. I had the same gripes other reviewers noted about the velcro tab--it doesn't stay closed and even when it is closed, you can still feel the rough part of the velcro, which tends to stick to T-shirts and burp cloths. Also, our 4 month old is now sticking everything in her mouth and I really don't want her to chew on the velcro! The head and arm holes are bigger than the Halo sleep sack, which makes me worry she will get tangled up, as she's now learning to crawl over and is very active in her sleep. For the same price, I will stick to the Haloes, which we used with our son without any problems at all. The designs may not be as cute, but the quality is better and they last forever!

We have several of these, I love sleepsacks for when babies are too big to swaddle. It is soft and cozy and the zipper is in a great spot--so you don't have to take it all off to change a diaper. After several washes the colors faded a bit, and it started to get "pilly" which was a bit disappointing, but didn't affect the function of it.

Zippers that just go up and down, not across and around the bottom like this one, are easier to put on a wiggly, cranky baby. Also the top part of the zipper is covered by Velcro. (Velcro always seems to attach itself to things in the washer so I prefer buttons.) Other than that, it's a good sleep sack.

I was so disappointed with this item. The only reason I gave it two stars is because the material is really nice and it is really cute. When I received this item, the velcro was not sewn all the way on the clothing, only about half of it was secured. I thought I would give it a try anyway to see if I liked it and wanted to put the effort into sewing it back on completely. BUT the first time I went to take it off my daughter, the zipper broke. I am sending it back for a refund and will try one of the other brands. Also, the velcro that is on the clothing is just a little circle, which could be a choking hazard for an infant if it were to come off the material.
