Halo sleep sacks - yay or nay?

tracysailer

Anyone have any input on Halo sleep sacks?  They have them on sale at Zulily for 1/2 off BUT I don't know if I'll actually use it.  

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I think I had one or two. I liked them, but I don't think they are as magical or special as some people do.

A friend had to have some because her dd needed a special hip brace for a few months.

They have them at target too . . . I'm a FTM but my girlfriend swears by them.

Ftm, but I have registered for a couple. I have friend who loves them. Plus, I like the fact that the baby feels swaddled, but still has room to kick their legs and "exercise". Plus when they get too old for swaddling, it keeps them warm.

I agree, FTM but I've also registered for a couple based upon suggestions and research plus I love the idea of a "wearable blanket" since it will start getting cold right after baby is born.

I love them for a few months. Then the zippers would break. It happened to 3 out of 3. The only good thing was we bought them through Amazon and they had 365 day returns. I may still use the Halo sleepsacks with this baby too. Just because there aren't a lot of other choices in sleep sacks.

We registered (and received) one after some BTDT friends swore by them.

I liked them - I had them in every size up until he was about a year or so.   I also liked the carter's fleece sacks with the arms because my son is a sweaty beast, so having a long sleeve onesie on under a sleep sack was overkill sometimes.

loved them.  There are different kinds - some with swaddles, some without. We used the swaddle ones in the beginning, but stopped using them when DH mastered the ultimate swaddle with the aiden & anais blankets.  Once she was out of her swaddle, we used the regular ones until she was about a year or so.  They can't have blankets in their crib as babies so this is the safest option, and cozy for them.

I have never used them so ill just be on the sidelines reading your responses.

I love them. DD hated being swaddled so we switched to the Halo sleep sacks without the swaddle feature and we used them until she was about 9 months old.

I love them. We used them for the first year. Both my kids hated swaddling, so these were great (and didn't ride up like those gown things). They have a swaddle version as well.

This exactly. My DD also did not like being swaddled, so we used the sleepsacks until she could pull herself up and didn't like them anymore.

Yay!

Thanks everyone...I'm thinking I can splurge and spend the $12 since it seems like something I'll use
